Wisconsin GOP Senator Glenn Grothman chased, trapped by hecklers. Appearently police (who are siding with the unions) wouldn't let him in one entrance left him to the mob. Communism has come to Wisconsin.
I disagree. If Walker does anything it will pour gas on the fire. He will be smeared by the media as the dictator instead of the AWOL Rats being the issue. If this GOP’er isn’t smart enough to have protection, that seems like a personal matter.
The unions are losing badly here. Every day this filth demonstrates in this fashion, more people peel away their support. The building has already been cleared this weekend by the police. A few militants are still inside but the majority are out. A woman Rep said on Hannity today that things were under control except for the physical disgusting mess they left the building.
Walker still has the upper hand in a state he should be losing on with this issue. The clock has run out for the runaway Dims. Fox reported tonight that the WI Senate Rats were in a panic meeting to see how they could get out of this mess.
There has been a new deadline every day, it seems. I no longer pay attention to anything that is said about any deadline.
But it is horrific that the police have decided to no longer protect its citizens. This dereliction of duty should result in these cops being fired.
‘course I’m thinking of the 1933 adaptation, THE ISLAND OF LOST SOULS, with Charles Laughton and Bela Lugosi.
Errr, are you forgetting that Obama effectively runs the Federal Government? Walker will get no help from the Feds. If anything, they also support the union thugs.
If there were rational adults in the white hut, I wouldn’t be too concerned. There aren’t any and the TOTUS is way above his paygrade here too. If TOTUS dd lay some heavy numbers on WI, they would be the wrong ones.
CDO - Command Duty Officer?
Oh, and I might add that the present White House administration will be held accountable from now until doomsday if they screw this up.
Imho, so far they are unanimously succeeding in their continued incompetence and dereliction of duty.
Do you want another potential Kent State situation? I'd let Walker handle it without military involvement.
The courts have no jurisdiction over the Capitol building, its hours or how it is run. Tell the judge to F off.
Tell the Capitol Police to clear the building under a direct order. If they refuse, fire them, and get the National Guard to do the job.
Declare the Dem Senators seats vacant, and set an election date to fill them. If they return, bar them from the building. They have abrogated the terms of their elective office and oaths of office.
Listen, the stakes are too high. This circus has gone on long enough. “We won”—f the Dems. They and their hired goons are trying to paralyze rhe State of Wisconsin. That is anarchy.
To say they can do all this without consequences is to invite instability, disorder and chaos.
If Governor Walker won’t or can’t the job done, then he does need to step aside.
But to wring your hands in the face of anarchy is not an option. If the Dems win this one, it is open season on the whole country.
See post 26. :)
That’s going a bit too far. Lets just outlaw unions for federal government employees. Then let the states decide on their own government employees. But leave the private sector alone.
The password is “Brownshirts.”
Yep, right now.
Needs to call out the national guard.
collateralized debt obligation
Sorry had a logic failure.
Pour gas on the fire?
Are you kidding?
If nothing happens tomorrow, you have only begun to witness a fire that will spread across the country.
The Dems are using the same tactics in Indiana and now in Ohio.
The hammer needs to come down. This kid gloves approach is asinine and will only invite further chaos.
The Governor was duly elected and is in charge. The Dems don’t like it? They can stay in Illinois.
And any Capitol cop that disobeys a direct order from the Governor can find new employment. End of story.
Restore order. The first function of a civil society.
This is like watching college sit-ins in 1968-70. It was disgusting then and it still is.
The unions have ad their say—now they need to clear out. They aren’t the only citizens of Wisconsin.
what the difference between a pig and a union pig? I have no respect for police and fire union jerks. Military face far greater dangers and they dont need no stinking union.
That is a HORRIBLE idea; in fact, it would be better to get the meanest, angriest, most PTSD-ed Guardsmen [in full battle-rattle with live-ammo and a green-light on shoot-to-kill anything that makes them jump] to act as escorts for the Governor and the Legislators.
i.e. — Virtually certain civilian casualties are more desirable than abdicating *MORE* liberties —and becoming more enslaved to— the federal government.
Walker has threaten to have to fire/let go the teachers tomorrow if the Democrats do not return. The teachers will be fired no doubt because the Democrats or to chicken to go against the unions. Violence ahead by these union people, but I see no alternative for Gov. Walker.
