ANGRY LEFTIST MOB Storms WI Capitol Pushing-Shoving Screaming “Peaceful Protest” (Video) …Update: Police Barriers Broken – Reporters Harassed

“This is what democracy looks like.”
Raging leftists stormed the Wisconsin Capitol last night screaming “peaceful protest” while pushing and shoving their way past state troopers.

The mob also surrounded and harassed a conservative reporter in the Capitol Building.

The protesters stormed into the building and broke down police barriers.
The Badger Herald said the protesters were “more aggressive” than normal.

After about an hour and a half, protesters stormed the building’s entrances, forcing themselves past police blockades.

Protesters who remained in the building past the hearing’s conclusion ran the risk of being arrested for disorderly conduct because of a March 3 court order that declared people could not occupy the Capitol after hours.

Capitol police said they were in “crisis mode” Wednesday evening because the building had been “taken over” by protesters. About 1,000 people were inside the building and 6,000 joined them after rushing previously locked doors, according to a statement from the Department of Administration.

Police were concerned about protesters’ physical safety with overcrowding, especially on the Capitol’s second floor bridges, the statement said.

DOA spokesperson Tim Donovan said law enforcement officers attempted to prevent forced entry from happening but were unable to because of the large volume of people.

“We’re disappointed that people who have been very cooperative over the past three weeks were not cooperative tonight and entered the building against the court order,” Donovan said.

Madison resident John Severa held a State Street entrance door open for an hour and said people inside the building rushed to the entrance to push the doors open for protesters outside.

Police responded shortly after to try to barricade the door, but their attempts were unsuccessful. After several minutes, police retreated while protesters cheered.

Those state troopers don’t seem to be doing much at all to stop this. Maybe the guy shouting “we’re on the same side” is right.

The trap here is that the Dems are now FORCED to pander to this angry, violent mob. Now that Walker has taken the first bold step, watch state after state fall into line behind him.

1. The majority was elected.
2. The majority voted.
3. The bill passed.

Dems cry, “this is not democracy!” They are right, this is a REPUBLIC and their Representatives failed to show up and vote.

The events in Wisconsin have made a clear choice for the American electorate across the country between a representative republic and big union doctorate. The Democrat Party is about to learn the cost of being owned by union thugs.

Get Joe Arpaio up there. He’ll build these commie astro turfers a nice cozy tent city facility to cool their heels. WI is lovely this time of year and baloney sandwiches seem so appropriate.

To quote our illustrious president; elections have consequences. These public union slugs are violent because the people will now have to pay only what? 90% of their retirement and med insurance. Of course, the unions get theirs paid for first before the citizens even provide for their own kids. You can NEVER satisfy the appetites of a pig. These union slime are simply to hoggish to believe.

Bill Mitchell #3 is correct. This is what democracy looks like. This is why the Founders gave us a Republic. This “democracy” is what they feared.

Disgusting, scary, horrible goons that are angry because they didn’t get their way. So much for the new age of toned down rhetoric and civility.

You misunderstood dalej78. All those calls for toned down rhetoric and civility were aimed squarely at Conservatives and do not apply to the Left.

Is somebody thought that what happened in Greece when thugs trashed everything around when their handouts where going down, they are already proved wrong.
Thugs are thugs everywhere and we have our share and are seeing some of them in WI.

Can you imagine what happens when Obama completely bankrupts the country and all pensions stop?

Can Glenn Beck be right?

the Gov. has to call in the national guard, clear the capital, and start arresting the “peaceful protesters”. He has to send a message that this illegal occupation of the capital will not be tolerated.

Hah! Boy have the unions overplayed this one. What with the fire-fighters breaking out the rigs and joining in the fun, this can only get bigger.

On behalf of my home state of Georgia, I welcome the soon-to-be right to to work state, Wisconsin into our ranks.

(And Ohio ain’t looking too good for them either…)

#17 – Of course Glenn Beck is right. History has proven every word out of his mouth over and over and over. Why do you think those on the left are so adamant that he be shut up by any means?

What you are seeing here are exactly – and I do mean exactly – the same tactics that the Communists used across Europe after World War II as they seized control of one nation after the other.

To my ignorant Democrat friends.

We are a representative republic not a democracy. Democracies usually slide into socialsit states. This is why the left wants a democracy.

You lost in November by HUGE numbers. This is due to the progressives in congress not doing the will of the people. America has woke up to a nightmare and is pissed off at what unions and the left has done to our country.

The left acting up like this is not helping your cause either, it just shows the public the left is full of whiney petulant children.

powder is dry.

Let me see if I get this right… If a cop pulls you over and you get out of the car and accidently bump into the officer, you get thrown to the grown and arrested for assaulting a police officer. If a mob of leftist thugs pushes, kicks, shoves, and eventually storms THROUGH a cordon of police officers, the police retreat and let the leftist mob pass without making a single arrest. Hmmmm… perhaps the difference is that they’re all members of the same union and people like you and I are just duped taxpayers footing the bill.

Where is O-buma. . . the Slanderer & Thief. . . to speak up against this kind of violent talk? So much for Arizona. . . what a waste of a presidency!

Yeah, “Shame!” “Shame.” This is what democracy loks like, all right: mob rule. Are these people really surprised and outraged that they are being “shoved” in a crowd as they mob a public building? Their lucky no one got hurt! And what was that one guy drinking? What’s wrong with these protestors, anyway? I think the whole public union thing across the Midwest is being orchestrated by the White House. Maybe someday the truth will come out. Stay tuned.

busy making a list and checking it twice for the next round of exemptions from his healthcare program. watching a seiu shirt climb through a window to get into the capitol and knowing that he’s just paying back the favor. when the hyenas are bussed in – [Although long reputed to be cowardly scavengers, hyenas, especially spotted hyenas, do occasionally hunt for themselves, and have been known to drive off leopards or lionesses from their kills. Hyenas..]

Anyway, good for Wisconsin – they have prevailed against the AWOLaholics who have been partying like its 1969 in Illinois. Too bad the Democrats have elected officials who are unwilling to perform their jobs. Heroic? HA!

Of course they were ” cooperative over the last three weeks”, they have been allowed to do what ever they wanted with no repercussions.

Now that they have violated a court order, arrest these filthy Thug bastards !!!!

Riot police and K-9 dogs will clear that building real fast.

” Don’t Touch me…WE ARE ON THE SAME SIDE ” is the most important part of this video. We have a dangerous mob acting out a scene from Romper Stomper and the Police refuse to administer equal justice for all because they are OWNED by a side. They are behaving like the old KKK days when police looked the other way as white lynch mobs murdered blacks in the dark of night because the police officers were good ole boy members of the Klan….. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXa-nAYdjrk&tracker=False

These people are like overly-aggressive small dogs, trying to intimidate the gentle majority. I wonder how many of them are actually residents of Wisconsin and rank-and-file union members. I suspect some of them are hired thugs.
