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.
“We’re 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 don’t 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...........

That has GOT to be a Lousy Freeper Troll.
The poster had over 1000 DU posts. They would have to be a very disciplined poser to get that far without being canned.
Maybe they wanted the notoriety of being featured on DUmmie FUnnies?
My post was made (somewhat) in jest. As advocating violence is never the 'correct thing' to do. That being said, like with the Pentagon, the DOD and our National Defense Policy in general, all options are always kept 'on the table'.
Be prepared.
I wonder if exlax and epicac are available as toppings? I would buy a couple pizzas for them.
Turn off all utilities. It gets cold in Wisconsin in March, they’ll leave.
Oh I am (and always have been).
I was a 'boy scout' before I was a 'Boy Scout'.
Ahem. . . . is this when Zero puts on his comfortable pair of walking shoes and joins the angry mob?

Bean bag guns? Fire hoses? It’s hard to feel much sympathy for someone whining that they got wet or hit by a beanbag.

Isn't is obvious?
They intend to use threats, intimidation, and, if necessary, violence to overturn the rule of law.
"directly by them" = democracy
"by their elected agents" = republic
We do NOT live in a democracy, olezip. The public schools have sadly taught right from the Communist Manifesto that you change the meaning of a word until it becomes important to go back to the original definition. So we'll live in a "democracy" with all the benefits of a republic, until they need more money, etc., and then they will go back to the original meaning of "democracy" and abolish your right to own private property; ergo, two wolves and a sheep voting on who and what to have for dinner.
No blood need be shed. Just get our guys/gals out first and then fumigate the place with tear gas. Problem solved.
