After learning the state Senate passed the collective bargaining portion of the budget repair bill without the 14 missing Democrats, the Capitol erupted Wednesday evening as protesters flooded the closed building against a court order.
The hearings where the Senate passed the bill lasted less than a half hour, prompting the building to officially close around 6:30 p.m. Protesters outside chanted in frustration, Let us in.
...DOA spokesperson Tim Donovan said law enforcement officers attempted to prevent forced entry from happening but were unable to because of the large volume of people.
Were disappointed that people who have been very cooperative over the past three weeks were not cooperative tonight and entered the building against the court order, Donovan said.
Madison resident John Severa held a State Street entrance door open for an hour and said people inside the building rushed to the entrance to push the doors open for protesters outside.
Police responded shortly after to try to barricade the door, but their attempts were unsuccessful. After several minutes, police retreated while protesters cheered.
I know police dont want to be violent, Madison resident Josh Olson said. But tonight [the police were violent], and it was upsetting and disturbing.
Olson said the decision to open the doors had very little coordination. He also claimed he was punched in the shoulder by an officer aggressively trying to stop the rush of people.
Once people started coming in there was nothing police could do, Olson said. This is our house.
Donovan said protesters also entered the building by jumping through windows. He said he was unsure if windows were broken because of conflicting information from several credible sources...........

And to think all this time, the libtard, lamearse media has been reporting about rightwing extremism......the whole time, leftwing extremism is alive and well and on full duisplay in Madison.....oh the frakin’ irony..... =.=
Democracy IS mob rule..we have a representative Republic in this country..why would any rational American seek Democracy? James Madison stated that “Democracy is the vilest form of government”the protesters ARE Democracy in action.

What a collection of misguided misfits in that picture!
A post from Democratic Underground found on FR's DUummie FUnnies thread.
I'd almost be willing to get a job in order to participate in A NATIONAL GENERAL STRIKE
The WI Senators can’t even handle Democracy. They run away.
They have the same mentally ill demeanor and facial features
I’ve seen in the DC moonbat marches that we’ve witnessed over the years. GOE 1, 2 3 to name a few.
Yeah, that "disappointment" will keep 'em in line, won't it?
I’ve rarely seen a more ill disposed bunch of Packers!
Mob rule is less than a majority of the people. Mob rule is lawless and violent.
Democracy is government by the people; a form of government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised directly by them or by their elected agents ...
What a picture...angry moonbats on parade. What did they think they would accomplish by this? Therein lies the rub....they didn’t care or even think about it, just as a 5 year old wouldn’t care or think about it. Pure emotion, pure moonbat, and purely mentally diseased.
That'll keep the Communist Scum in check.
'Here's Your 'Union Card', Commie!'
Police Department Sergeant Dave McClurg, who was protesting while off duty, said he was concerned with the dangers of security procedures during the Senates hearing. State law requires the Capitol to remain open after its designated hours during any public meetings.
This is a problem. The Sargeant needs to be fired. There is no way he is doing his job without bias when he is protesting while off duty. He is from Madison.
Caught my attention!!
Darn good questions.
At that point the NG wouldn’t “have time to bleed”.
No we didn't. We are still suffering the consequences of Kent State.
