MADISON, Wis. (WMTV) - A Democratic state senator from the Milwaukee area posted video from Tuesday night’s protest that he says shows the moments leading up to an attack that left him injured and suffering from a possible concussion.
Sen. Tim Carpenter posted the 11 second clip onto Twitter early Wednesday morning, saying that he “took this pic [and] it got me assaulted & beat up. According to Carpenter, eight to ten people were involved in the attack and were punching and kicking him in the head, neck, and ribs.”
At the time of the tweet, Carpenter stated he might have suffered a concussion, his vision is a little blurry, and his neck and ribs were still sore. State Sen. Tim Carpenter posted a video showing demonstrators rushing toward him during Tuesday night's demonstrations. (Screenshot via Twitter)
Carpenter indicated that as of Wednesday morning he stuck in his office at the state Captiol which has been locked up for safety. Police shared that some tried to force entry into the Capitol, with pepper spray deployed by officers on the inside to keep those individuals away.
Saying “innocent people are going to get killed, he called for an end to the violence.”

Dances with Nitwits has learned that cameras aren’t armor.
I know several people in Madison. They are all subaru-driving, organic kale-eating, knee-jerk conservative-hating, condescending, statist, progressive- leftists.
Frankly, I don’t care if they get pelted with rocks or have their cars burned by their “allies.”
He forgot to wear his Hammer and Sickle protective emblem. Lowly state senators don’t merit armed bodyguards. Sure complaints are being made to Soros.
Should of called the cops.
Quick! Call the cops!......Oh wait....Damn it, now I understand why so many thought defunding the police was a dumb idea.
it was libtard socialist racist protestors
Guess they didn’t see his democrat card.
In reality he saw them for who they really are, and frankly they would just as soon murder him even those he’s one of them.
Wasn’t he telling them, “But I support you!!!!???”
Yup, his Dem card does not matter. To them, he stepped out of line and needed a beat down by the red mass. He needs to learn his place.
Let me guess. Started Out Peaceful?
“innocent people are going to get killed, he called for an end to the violence.”
= = =
So, he think HE is ‘innocent?’
Another case of the Stalinists taking care of a Trotskyite.
“Alleged attack”.
This was another “peaceful protest” where statues of the personification of the state motto, “Forward” and a Union soldier were peacefully torn down. When the senator tried to record all of the peacefulness around him, protestors helped him to the ground where he’d be safer.
A Democrat being beat up by democrat rank and file! And I am supposed to care?
Tim Carpenter is openly gay, another sin by the rioters.
The strains of Kum Bay Ya played in the background.
One should at least fire up the corn popper. :)

they just saw white guy taking a pic and acted on that alone
