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.

Correct. Collective Bargaining has a financial component so it has to be with the rest of the bill.

No, the TP is smart to stay away from this. Those thugs would like nothing more than start a fist for all. Let the world see who is really involved here.

who do you think TP’ers are, cops? You make it sound like they need to show up to fuel these flames. Nope, they’re smart to stay away.

True to their post-Darwinian public school training, these protextors (pun intended) behave like animals. Hence, until they feel pain for their behavior they will not respond.

Effectively, UNLESS Democrats are screaming bloody murder they are getting their way.

Funny, in the 60’s the left staged sit-ins to fight AGAINST the establishment.

Now the left are staging sit-ins to fight FOR the establishment.

I think that’s pretty freakin’ ironic.

That is why the GOP should have split the collective bargaining portion out of the budget and passed it a week ago without the Rats present.

Exactly.

Walker has lost control. He can’t force the Fleebaggers to return. But he does have the ability to enforce law and order.
He could have also split the bill as u mentioned and passed it.

By law, cities are a creation, and entity, of the state. They don’t have independent standing in the same way that states do. Consequently, the state can disband a city government (and hand policing over to the Sheriff) should it choose to.

If anyone on the local police force refuses to obey orders and do their duty in removing these vermin then they need to be terminated immediately with no benefits.

This is fine. It’s great to see the left how they really are. Especially in a state like Wisconsin. This is not what most dem voters in Wisconsin think they are voting for.

The police/guard are the ones to respond to this type of behavior....not law abiding citizens (teaparty members).

I’m guessing the local police force’s duty is to take custody of the arrestees the Capitol Police give them. It’d be interesting to know precisely what the division of authority is, and whether the Capitol Police’s first mutual aid request goes to the Madison Police or the Sheriff’s Department.

I don’t agree that Walker has lost control. His waiting out the self-destructing union filth is just handing them more rope to hang themselves with.

I am unable to get anything from buddy. his wife called and his enroute to hospital, someone bashed him over the head, while he was talking to someone else.. She said live feeds are available at DOT traffic channel 3000.com cams All media was to remove cameras and leave the building. She said she will have someone else call. She call me back it is difficult to get through Madison on the isthmus. More college studenst are showing up to walk around the building on the sidewalk. The Capitol Square is basically blocked off except for police and other emergency vehicles.

And flammable as hell. The first doper too spark up his last doobie of the protest would cause a conflagration and then some.

It would take months to get that burnt hippie funk out of the building.

Exactly! You might call this a "teaching moment", and with each action they take, they're showing more and more of the public the real face of the Democrat party. This is not going to rebound to the left's benefit.

At what point does a win in PR, trump the need to enforce law and order?

Walker won the PR war last week. He is now in danger of losing the law enforcement PR. Enough.
