Protesters are locking the Capitol doors shut from the inside using metal handcuffs (Wisconsin)

[Meade] told me that just now, by phone. He got out, and is warning others not to go in. Obviously, it's a terrible fire hazard to make it so people cannot get out of the building easily. Presumably, protesters think it's a good idea to keep the police out, but it is dangerously stupid.

ADDED: Meade called back to say, some of the doors are handcuffed shut and some are wide open. "ANYBODY CAN GET IN AND ANYBODY CAN BRING ANYTHING IN. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO SECURITY WHATEVER."

AND: Meade — who just got home at 9 CT — says the police have the "fairly calm jocose" attitude that they've had all along. They have no riot gear, he said. The place is "swarmed" with protesters. Photos and video soon.

Thank you for that reminder. That is the answer - to pray earnestly for them. It’s not just about WI, it’s about our country. And, yes, God bless and protect our heroes.

call in the national guard for the state and get rid of these rabblerousers - cite anyone not a Wisconsinite for trespassing and escort them to the state line. Fire any police officer refusing to cross the ‘picket line’ to control this mess. Enough is enough. Time for the brats to go.

"The police seem absolutely uninterested in doing their job."

The LEOS helped them get in.

I could clear the building in less than an hour.

Without harming anyone.


Does this involve a few burritos and a quart of malt liquor?

Yup. Me too. Just me and my cousin.

And a gallon of chili.

And bottle of Jack Black.

And that's all I need.

Clearly the strategy has flipped. Since Dems fleeing the scene didn’t work, now they’ll occupy the place and keep the Assembly Republicans from entering on Thursday to seal the deal.

You guys remind me of P.J. O'Rourke writing about covering
riots in Korea. Said he couldn't understand why these people
seems impervious to tear gas. Then he experienced kimchi
farts!

Wouldn’t work. Ever see “Pacific Heights”? The protestors would sue for emotional distress.
