Search “Segway Boy” and you’ll find that Jeremy Ryan has a substantial internet footprint.
He seems to be an absolute whack job, a full-time “agitator” and PITA who, in an earler day, would have been given a choice between jail and the Army by a judge.
Of course, these days the Army is in the process of being turned into a social experiment, so that’s probably out.
Why he is permitted to carry on with his antics inside the Wisconsin capitol building is a mystery to me.
One of those who peed in corners of the state capitol during the “occupation” last year and a generally obnoxious and worthless waste of skin, whose only purpose in life is to exert his self-importance. And ride his Segway.
why has not someone knocked this little boy off his segway yet
WI ping.
How is it that he is still in possession of all his teeth?
Jeremy Ryan is a habitual loser, or, to borrow a phrase from state Senator Glen Grothman, a slob. Ryan is known around Madison as the “Segway Boy” after his distinct mode of transportation that has made him nearly ubiquitous in the professional protest circuit of the city. Chances are, if you visited the state capitol at all since the protests were at their height this past spring, you’ve seen Ryan riding a Segway around the downtown area, or getting hauled out of the Senate or Assembly galleries after violating gallery rules with his.
Ryan’s public record as a protester has been well documented. Many of his protests have landed him citations from the police because he broke various ordinances, rules and laws related to public disturbances and public conduct. According to a Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel article in June, Ryan had received 15 citations and been arrested nine times in conjunction with his protesting. The 15 citations had, as of June, racked up a total of $3,604.50 in fines – not a penny of which Ryan seems to be intent on paying.
As a professional, full-time protestor Ryan has no income from a job. What little money he does seem able to scrape up through donations apparently goes to pay for medication that he needs to manage several health issues as well as fund his political action committee, Defending Wisconsin PAC. The PAC does not pay Ryan for his work as executive director. GAB documents show that the committee has raised $8,305.90, and had $4,452.08 still in the bank as of its latest report. Perhaps if Ryan collected a one-time salary from his PAC he could be responsible and pay his outstanding fines.
The state of Ryan’s personal finances can be determined on almost any given day by the pleas for money that he issues on his personal Facebook page. Interspersed between requests for people to help him land speaking engagements are updates about his financial status. His requests tend to generate responses from sympathetic friends and supporters who indicate that they have contributed to his bank account through a handy web portal that he set up.

Any person who rides one of those “things” immediately cedes credibility on any topic, save perhaps for commenting on the best bath house hook-up in town.

I know someone in Madison who spent time in jail for not paying a bunch of parking tickets; so how come this fellow isn’t in jail for not paying his fines?
