Protesters in Madison not budging
Fox News ^ | 2/27/11

Posted on 02/27/2011 2:37:31 PM PST by Jean S

The protesters agreed to leave peacefully so the capitol building could be cleaned. Later, they organized some seminars on "passive resistance". Now they're pouring in the building and refusing to leave unless they're handcuffed.

Watch live on Fox.

The republican/rino/conservative/teapartyers have failed to show cause, solidarity, belief, faith, dedication to stated principles, and a willingness to "carry the torch". As stated...teapartyers??? Baahhhh!

Tea Party folks work. They show up to the polls and they vote. That's why Scott Walker and the Republicans are in charge of Wisconsin now. When the left decides not to abide with the results of an election, they expect that the police will maintain order. When the police turn out to be treasonous union thugs, they expect the guard will. However, if this does come down to a civil war between the SEIU types and second amendment folks, it is one that the SEIU is destined to lose.

I went up there last weekend for the counterprotest. The counterprotest was peaceful and friendly.

I call it the PRO TAXPAYER bill by the way.

Don’t call them subhuman. That’s an insult to fellow humans that something like these animals are even sub of human. Heck it’s an insult to animals to call them animals.

I think ameobas might be a good name. Single cell organisms as they have exactly 1 brain cell.

My stepsister works for the state legislature (she’s an assistant for a republican representative). She has heard that the democrat senators who fled have been threatened by the union if they return. calls saying they know where their children and grandchildren live and such.

She has also heard that the majority of Wisconsin state workers do not support this. They’d love to not be union.

If true, a lesson to anyone who becomes beholden to “da union”.

Surely there are some MP units in the WI Guard. Those backed up by regular infantry with some armor and Bradleys for intimidation would be a heck of a sight to see.

Yes, you have to figure they have some MP units and have at least a brigade of infantry in the WI National Guard. Also, alot of National Guard Infantry units routinely receive crowd control training, with riot gear, night sticks, etc. You have to assume that many of the WI National Guard Infantry units have received crowd control/riot training.

If I was Gov. Walker, and if in fact the police are unwilling to follow my orders or the orders of those acting on my behalf to evict the protesters/agitators from the state Capitol building, I would call up the National Guard and order them to evict and arrest anyone remaining in the Capitol Building after an imposed deadline for the riff-raff to leave has come and gone. Any state workers/teachers/police/firemen arrested by National Guard units would be fired by executive order after a fair, pre-deadline warning has been issued stating they will be fired if arrested in the State Capitol Building after they had been ordered to leave.

After that, I would surround the Capitol Building with National Guard and 'Loyal' police units with orders to keep the marxists riff-raff away from the building. Yes, some Bradleys and Tanks in the background would be a nice sight and possible deterent to the at least somewhat sane riff-raff/agitators that we mean business.

To: Jean S Handcuff them then! Taser them! Tear gas them! Shoot them with buckshot! (My personal preference.) Just get them out of the capital building!

Or... someone could burn down their houses while they are busy at the capitol...

Time to fire the Madison police too. All of the leadership, for a start.

I’ve always said you got to break a few eggs to make an omelet.

Vladimir Lenin?
Is that you?

Or is this a Union thug troll who just issued a big "Ooooops!?

The only issue I’d have with that is the poor soul who would have to do the stripsearch. I’ve heard delousing is not fun and you know he’d have to be afterwards.

The funny thing about the fleeing senators i

A. They are not working just like the union thugs they are protecting.

B. They are fleeing to Illinois which has been destroyed by the unions.

We will not be kicking anyone out, in fact, we will be sleeping here with you!’ Unreal.”

There is no longer an alternative.

In addition to the teachers, the Madison cops all need to be fired.

Replace them all immediately; start printing pink slips.
