Wisconsin's Shame: 'I Thought It Was a Home Invasion'

Cindy Archer, one of the lead architects of Wisconsin’s Act 10 — also called the “Wisconsin Budget Repair Bill,” it limited public-employee benefits and altered collective-bargaining rules for public-employee unions — was jolted awake by yelling, loud pounding at the door, and her dogs’ frantic barking. The entire house — the windows and walls — was shaking. She looked outside to see up to a dozen police officers, yelling to open the door. They were carrying a battering ram.

She wasn’t dressed, but she started to run toward the door, her body in full view of the police. Some yelled at her to grab some clothes, others yelled for her to open the door. “I was so afraid,” she says. “I did not know what to do.” She grabbed some clothes, opened the door, and dressed right in front of the police. The dogs were still frantic. “I begged and begged, ‘Please don’t shoot my dogs, please don’t shoot my dogs, just don’t shoot my dogs.’ I couldn’t get them to stop barking, and I couldn’t get them outside quick enough. I saw a gun and barking dogs. I was scared and knew this was a bad mix.”

In that case the best outcome would be partitioning. It would still become like India versus Pakistan.

“That clearly means a fight will eventually happen.”

I don’t see Americans doing the Terror thing. I’d imagine Americans would be more likely, once they’d reached their limit in some such case, to form a Posse, declare their intentions and begin rounding up the Prosecutors, Judges, cops and their commanders, for a Court Martial.

That of course would force a response from the other side and there would be a clash.
