Wisconsin Capitol protesters disrespect the Veterans Memorial

Two people confront Madison protesters who are using a war memorial as a work station.

This was sent to me by a friend who is a vet. He was beyond upset.

[Squantos]

The socialist idiots of Madison are trash....period.

When this is "over" we will know who is who, without a doubt. Unless one is living under a rock, they can't help but see all that is going on, and in choosing sides, they will let the world know where their values lie.

I already knew most of my husband's family were socialists (I'm being kind) - heck one of them defected to Canada. But the ones who were sheepish and said, "Yeah, I have a very good deal, but as long as it's given, I'd be crazy to turn it down" who have now called in sick to protest......I won't be able to hold back my disgust.

[chickadee]

The protesters have taken over the whole Capitol building and are treating it like its their own private flop house. Putting up posters and post it notes on marble pillars. Sleeping on air mattresses on the floors.

Like the people in the video, their “cause” is all that matters.

“called in sick” to protest

Heaven forbid that they should lose any wages to go out and defend their own interests. It’s this “entitled” mentality that needs to be removed. Taking away collective bargaining will put the taxpayers back in the driver’s seat. If those in the bus find they don’t like how it is being driven by the taxpayers, they can find employment elsewhere.

Shameful.

“No one else has had a problem with it” = another example of the entitlement mentality. In other words, “whats mine is mine and what’s yours is mine too”.

[Robe]

I would have requested them to remove the stuff, and explained why it shouldn’t be there .
If they didn’t take it down, I would have found a cop and tell him if that s$!t wasn’t taken down, I would take it down, and he would be responsible for what ever mayhem that followed....

“whats mine is mine and what’s yours is mine too”.

Couldn't have said it better. This is exactly their mentality. These people have the mentality of a 2 year old. Mine, mine, mine, mine, no, no, no, no, WAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! It's all about me, it's all about me.

I was appalled that the protesters were so willing to defend their error. The woman at the end knew they had screwed up. You could tell by her expression she wasn’t sincere about regretting the mistake, but knew it was a political faux pas of large magnitude. Why (gasp), it might be as big a deal as a prank phone call to a governor.

[chickadee]

These squatters have decided that they can “live” in the Capitol so why should a war memorial receive special consideration.

I particularly enjoyed the part of the discussion where the young man was trying to claim that the dead soldiers would support their cause. Too late he realized that he had gotten in way over his head.

Except they would not dare use their "faux pas" to make a deceitful radio spot like they did the gov prank call.

[Rebelbase]

The video portrays the protesters as ignorant, self-centered, selfish, ungrateful, disrespectful, spoiled, socialist-Marxists.

And the man making the video had the decency to tell them such in other words yet it still went over their heads.

Nope, but our side could . . . and should make a tv ad. The occupation of the Capitol building is a big deal to Mr. and Mrs. Average Wisconsin.

[Tupelo]

I fail to see how this is ‘news’.
After all the protesters are liberal, progressive Democrats. Disrespecting and insulting Veterans is as natural to them as a rattle snake biting it's victim

[donhunt]

Are there really this many immature people in Wisconsin?
I guess they’re everywhere.

Looks like the same student talking at the end of the video.

[TSgt]

Makes me LIVID!

I hope everyone of these low life maggot infested filth are fired...by a rifle.

[chickadee]

This student has gotten a lot of national time lately. Actually, I think she is a TA.

I am still looking at the video, but I had to take the time to say how appalled I am with the posting of flyers and letters etc on all the walls around the Capitol building. Who the H**L do these people think they are? I worked on a UW campus for years. Any unauthorized flyers or posters were pulled down immediately and tracked back to the perpetrators. The sticky residue from tape etc is strictly forbidden on campus walls. You have to get this kind of putty to put up anything. The whole place looks the way a specified area of a student union looks. Note, I said specified. Students can't just post their crap any place they want to.

And those loud speakers - what about the people working in the offices at the Capitol? Ordinarily, they would be reporting the noise level to risk management. What a bunch of hypocrites.

[chickadee]

I appreciate your anger, but your language is too strong.

“Are there really this many immature people in Wisconsin?

I had the misfortune to go to Madison and the Medical Center in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s.

That area had an over abundance of Red Diaper babies who hated America and loved Fidel and his thugs, Chairman Mao and the top reds in Nam.

They hated capitalism, Christians and Jews.

One can only imagine how terrible those people still are and their spawn.
