Madison — Capitol Police Chief Charles Tubbs said Sunday night that protesters can remain inside the state Capitol.
"The people who are in the building will be allowed to stay,"Tubbs said. "There will be no arrests unless people violate the law."
Several hundred protesters refused to leave the building when the doors were shut at 4 p.m. as authorities attempted to get the state Capitol back to normal working hours.

Now, how did we both come up with “dereliction of duty” at exactly the same moment? :)
maybe there will be a major crime...like a group of these thugs attacking a female as thugs in groups usually do...of course, maybe the don’t have their viagra with them....
Actually, let them flaunt the law, both the protestors and Tubbs.. It only makes the union look more unreasonable to the taxpayers of Wisconsin

Sounds to me like they are already breaking the law!
It is clear that Organizing For America, the Unions and other affinity groups have a plan of sorts. They have trained and are training the protesters who show up.
They want to provoke staged propaganda event(s) — police brutalizing peaceful demonstrators.
A weak-hand first and rope-a-dope strategies will work against them. Get them to look bad and bad.
Whatever, do NOT give them what they have planned for.
Order the building close until further notice. Let no one new in. No food deliveries, etc. Tell them if they want to leave, that is fine.
After they are all gone, reopen the building. If they do it again, repeat the process. Do not let large numbers of people in the building. I’m sure there are fire laws.
LOL, we all have at times. Sleep well.
You’re right!
What are the odds of THAT happening? Time for us both to buy a lottery ticket?
Why not turn down the heat and turn off all the hot water.
Amen to that
[The America we once knew is toast.]
Sadly, I agree.
Absolutely!
And love your tag line.
I’ve got a bad feeling the same thing will happen to this Wisconsin Capitol that happened to the third Wisconsin Capitol in 1904.

I agree.
[ If you’re miffed, think of all the WI taxpayers who go to work every day hearing about those filthy pukes refusing to leave their Capitol. Yes, Walker gained.]
As this drags on day after day, I keep wondering, do these pukes have jobs? They have been there for over a week, night and day. How are they earning a living?
I think Walker’s playing this brilliantly. If we are the calm, rational ones we will win. It’s only a matter of time.
As tempting as it is, the minute we get heavy-handed the MSM will show the video every night until election 2012. The unions are baiting us to try to make that happen. They’ve messed this one up and it’s the only play they have left.
“I’m sure there are fire laws.”
Bingo!
I’m sure that if a thousand Tea Party members occupied the place, the same would have happened. Sure.
Unionized police are apparently not going to remove unionized protestors. Tomorrow morning, it is time for the governor of Wisconsin to call out the national guard.
