BREAKING: LIVE AMMUNITION FOUND OUTSIDE WISCONSIN CAPITOL BUILDING

LIVE AMMUNITION FOUND OUTSIDE THE WISCONSIN CAPITOL BUILDING–
Angry leftists have been protesting at the capitol for two weeks.

The left has ramped up their vitriol for two weeks– NOW THIS—–
Wisconsin police told reporters today that they found live ammunition scattered outside the capitol. The left has been holding violent protests at the capitol for weeks.
ABC 5 reported:

Police say they have found live ammunition scattered on the ground around the Wisconsin Capitol.

University of Wisconsin Police Chief Susan Riseling says 41 rounds of .22-caliber ammunition were found Thursday morning scattered at several locations outside the Capitol. The revelation came as state attorneys asked a Dane County judge to order the Capitol closed for a security sweep. The judge made no immediate ruling on the request.

Protesters are in their third week of demonstrations against Gov. Scott Walker’s proposal to repeal nearly all collective bargaining rights for most public employee unions. State officials said about 100 protesters remain in the building, which has had limited access since Sunday.

Officials said that law enforcement officers do not carry those type of rounds.

More… Most of the bullets were found near the State Street entrance to the Capitol and around the King Plaza.

Dane County Sheriff Dave Mahoney,

“During 19 days of protest and demonstrations not one individual has been hurt or injured and not one incident or confrontation has broke out, contrary to fabricated reports, because, law enforcement has done collectively what they are charged with doing-providing public safety!”

theBuckWheat commented:

What lame and foolish comments, as if this was nothing.

First, loose ammo could prove fatal to a groundskeeper or bystander should it get ingested by a piece of equipment, whether a snow blower or lawn mower.

Secondly, children attended this event (redundant!). A .22 round can be set off by impact with a rock or hammer. (A friend of mine in my youth “shot” himself by doing just this very thing with a .22 round he found).

Thirdly, was this a form of intimidation, and if so, it was Mafia-grade. If so, this doubles down on the level of thuggery behind the union people who attended these rallies. It reinforces the words of the two Assembly members I have seen interviewed in the last few days, that if they give any concessions now, they will have given in to the thuggery and obscenity of the opposition.

Fourth, this could be the work of a radical provoking agent. Let us see how the union leadership responds. Will they vigorously denounce this for the danger it is to our democratic institutions or will they give the people who did this a pass? In doing so, we can measure their commitments: what is more important to them, the republican form of government and rule of law or that their union get its way? Further, what will the union members in Madison say and what priorities will they display: to the rule of law or to a union victory?

This event takes us a few inches closer to the orchestrated mob violence that was used to overthrow the republican/democratic governments of German and Russia and to justify imposition of socialist tyranny.

Video evidence would seem to contradict that statement. And it certainly has not seemed to me that law enforcement has been doing what they are charged with doing, since they have at least twice refused lawful orders.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

Since when are officers allowed to wear anything that identifies them as a member of law enforcement while involved in such activities. Why the lack of response when a member of Government was surrounded, and why did officer public announce they wound not enforce removing protesters from the building or allow others to do so? The sheriff has jeopardized his creditability.

I hate to say it but I have more than that rolling around in my trunk. 22lr is the little bittie bullet. Its the stuff that people plink with. Very cheap or at least used to be until Bernake devalued the dollar.

As others have pointed out above, the 22lr is an effective round to kill someone with proper placement. I had heard a statistic once that said 22lr has killed more people than any other caliber.

Ammo needs to be in a pressure chamber (barrel) to produce velocity. Without pressure, the round just plops out.

41 rounds? One box of shells minus 9 rounds. Perhaps someone had a taurus model 94 ultralite revolver. 2″ barrel, 6 3/8″ long, 9 round cap., ultra-lite alloy. Loaded the gun, stuck it in their sock and ditched the leftover rounds. Most other compact 22 revolvers also hold 9 rounds, or less. No guarantee the police found all of the discarded rounds. http://www.taurususa.com/product-details.cfm?id=383&category=Revolver&toggle=&breadcrumbseries=

Bob, ever the expert, commented:

“Ammo needs to be in a pressure chamber (barrel) to produce velocity. Without pressure, the round just plops out.”

Not quite. It only needs to “plop” out at a few hundred feet per second to penetrate a soft part of the body, like between two ribs or the few layers of skin and soft tissue covering the carotid artery. A boyhood friend of mine received a nasty wound in the arm from a .22 bullet that “just plops out” when he fired it by hitting it with a hammer. Had we not acted quickly, he could have lost a lot of blood.

This is exactly the kind of round the Mafia uses to kill people. The round penetrates the skull and then bounces around inside destroying the brain. Remember the congresswoman who got shot with a 9 MM. It went straight through and she is recovering. Had she been shot with a 22 hollow point, she would have been dead on arrival. If you want to kill somebody by shooting them in the head, this is the way to do it. The FBI will probably be able to get DNA off the ammo and find out who left it. A lot of these union thugs have records anyway.

Militant #46 you are correct about the Glock murder weapon…but a 22 caliber rifle was in the news about Jarred Laughner….owned by his friend…a friend who is a free man ….Quote below is from Democrats for Progress… http://democratsforprogress.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=1825 …

“One of the last times Loughner and Tierney saw each other, a mutual friend had recently purchased a .22-caliber rifle. Until then, Loughner had never shown much interest in guns, Tierney says. “My friend had just gotten a .22, and Jared kept saying we should go shooting together.” But Tierney and the friend who had bought the .22 demurred. “We were sketched out,” Tierney says, “and we were like, ‘I don’t think Jared’s a good person to go shooting with.’” That was in February or March 2010. After that, Tierney didn’t hear much from Loughner.

This is no coincidence. When you want to leave a message that things are about to go violent, what better message than to start leaving live ammunition in selected locations.

The patience of the protesters has got to be wearing thin. Walker has not caved in spite of all their hateful signs, their occupancy as squatters in the State Capitol, their demands are not being met.

If there is not some severe violence in the next 48 hours, I will be surprised.

The problem is that the things you support as a leftist will ensure that we’re not a great nation for long. Collective bargaining for public-sector employees is bankrupting the states. ObamaCare will destroy the best medical system in the world. The leftist refusal to let us exploit our own energy resources is costing us jobs and raising the prices of goods and services. Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security have saddled future generations with an insurmountable debt burden.

Concreteblue posted a link to a Tea Partier that was arrested in NYC. He crows and crows and says we’re too easy. One problem, it was a joke.

Go see for yourself. I can’t stop laughing.

There hasn’t been any violence, just American’s protesting for what they believe is right.

Which is what the tea partiers have been doing for two years. And how do “progressives” respond to that?

This is the only reason the Tea Party even showed up. It is obvious it is them. No question whatsoever. Or ot could be the 48 year old granny schoolteacher. please. The right is pathetic. They will all be voted out soon enough. good riddance to bad people. I am so sick of their rants, threats of violence and tyranny posing as liberty. patriots my ass. hypocrites, liars and wingnuts.

False flag operation to stir up opposition to the protesters and create tension and dissent. “We must now institute martial law” tactics. God, this makes me mad….people, whose side are you on? The corporate MASTER? They are so damn good at dividing us. Don’t be fooled. These are for the most part peaceful protest. If it goes on long enough, some corporate goon will cause bloody dissent, at that point, who knows where it goes. We are all “slobs” to them.

#95: If you don’t know how to tell parody from serious (especially at that level), then you’re doing something wrong.

As a starting point, look at the statement “9/11 was an inside job! Wake up sheeple!” and determine parody from there.

#97 Donna – no, I don’t think any of us are on the side of the “corporate master” – we just aren’t on the side of the unions. Maybe you should take a real look at what is actually going on with the unions in Wisconsin and what this bill really does.

Are you aware, for example, that the teachers unions in Wisconsin virtually force most of the school districts in the state to buy insurance for their employees from one particular company at nearly twice the price of any other insurance company – and that the insurance company is owned by the union?

Are you aware that the average teacher in Wisconsin makes more than twice the average income in the state – and in some communities 3 times the average income?

If you come here, you should know that this is a conservative website and those who frequent GP are conservatives – except for a few trolls who show up to disrupt the conversation. I guess I don’t need to ask which you are.

Speak for yourself. Just because you have a bizarre, comic-book interpretation of corporations doesn’t mean everyone else is as deluded.

If I have to choose between corporations and leftist government, I’m going to be on the side of corporations every time. Corporations create capital, while government destroys it.

Capital provides us with the means to live the sorts of lives we want. That’s why so many leftist celebrities and politicians have vast amounts of capital.

Perfect example of you responding with non sequiturs.

No violence? By what definition of violence? People have been assaulted, a few have been the victim of battery. You GD lefties went berserk when a leftist harpy was knocked to the ground and pinned when she attempted to rush into point-blank range with Rand Paul, but when it’s your thugs and grunts dishing out the beatings nothing qualifies as violence, does it?

Get over your delusions. Corporations don’t have police power; the state does. Corporations cannot make it a law that you pay them; the state HAS.

Perhaps this is Scott Walker’s “troublemaker”: as you may know, Scott Walker admitted to discussing plans to plant agent provocateurs to turn the protests into riots. Perhaps he realized this would be a better strategy?

I love how this article says that the protests were violent — the only violent protesters were in that part of Wisconsin with palm trees. And I say this as a Madison native who went to the protests. I saw with my own two eyes the complete lack of violence.

No, Walker didn’t say that. Ian Murphy said that.

Murphy: Right, right. Well, we’ll back you any way we can. But, uh, what we were thinking about the crowds was, uh, was planting some troublemakers.

Walker: You know, the, well, the only problem with that — because we thought about that. The problem — the, my only gut reaction to that is right now the lawmakers I’ve talked to have just completely had it with them, the public is not really fond of this…

http://host.madison.com/wsj/article_531276b6-3f6a-11e0-b288-001cc4c002e0.html

From the context it’s not clear if Walker is saying that he thought about doing that, or if he thought about what would happen if someone else planted troublemakers on the behalf of Walker.

Either way, you got it wrong. Walker was opposed to the idea of planting troublemakers.

I don’t recall raising that as an issue. There are severely disabled people in a government run home in Union Grove, Wisconsin, called “Southern Wisconsin Center”. The aides do, in fact, wipe their asses, and provide near total care round the clock. They make $14.00 per hour. Greedy public employees!
