Official: Protesters Reenter Closed State Capitol
http://www.channel3000.com/news/27140935/detail.html

MADISON, Wis. — Protesters have reentered the state Capitol on Wednesday night after Republican state senators passed elements of Gov. Scott Walker’s budget repair bill, according to the state Department of Administration spokesman.

Police have given up guarding one of the main entrances to the Wisconsin state Capitol, allowing dozens of protesters to charge inside.

Protesters began pouring into the building shortly before its 6 p.m. closing time to witness the Senate hastily pass a bill that would strip most public employees of their collective bargaining rights.

Tim Donovoan, the DOA spokesman, said that they’ve received reports of protesters entering through broken windows and getting through doors, but they don’t know where the damaged windows are.

He said that anyone inside the Capitol building now is in violation of a court order to leave the building when it is closed. He said that no official business is going on now.

"He said that anyone inside the Capitol building now is in violation of a court order to leave the building when it is closed. He said that no official business is going on now."

So? If the police are unwilling to enforce the law or are, in fact, in solidarity with their union brothers, we have mob rule. The Governor needs to restore order or we will degenerate to the point where each side in the struggle will need to use force and those still standing at the end are the winners.
