WISCONSIN LEFTISTS Vandalize Local Bank After Union Vote

Wisconsin leftists vandalized a local bank in Greendale on Saturday.
The leftists wrote in spraypaint “F*** you Scott Walker” and “Unions are forever” on the bank walls and windows. (FOX 6)
Protest leaders demonized the bank last week at rallies outside the Wisconsin capitol building. The leftists said the bank had donated to Governor Scott Walker last year… However, the bank said it did not donate to either candidate.
FOX6 Now reported:
Greendale police say they are actively investigating an incident of tagging at the M&I Bank branch near Southridge Mall.
The graffiti is clearly directed at Gov. Scott Walker and anyone who supports the actions that eliminated most collective bargaining this past week.
The vandals spray painted the side of the building as well as the front doors of the bank branch.
JS Online reported:
Police said Monday they are investigating an incident Saturday night in which a citizen saw someone spray-painting anti-Gov. Scott Walker graffiti on the side of an M&I bank branch at Southridge.
Interim Police Chief Bob Malasuk said Monday the bystander spotted the vandal just after 10 p.m. spray-painting the building. No suspect has yet been apprehended.
Malasuk said words such as “Traitor” and “Unions are Forever,” as well as profanity directed at Walker were spray-painted on the wall.
The damage has been cleaned up.
Last week, the Wisconsin Professional Police Association, the Professional Fire Fighters of Wisconsin, the International Association of Fire Fighters Local 311, Madison Teachers Inc., Green Bay Education Association, Dane County Deputy Sheriffs Association and the Madison Professional Police Officers Association announced a boycott against businesses for either supporting Walker directly, or its executives supporting Walker’s campaign, or because the companies are members of Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce, a pro-business group that supported the governor, or all three.
M&I Bank was the first company named as part of the boycott.
The bank has said that it has not taken, or will not take, a position either for or against the governor’s budget-repair bill.
The bank said in a statement that it has not contributed to any candidate and did not contribute to Walker or Mayor Tom Barrett in the gubernatorial election.
Figures. The bank didn’t even donate to Walker and it is being targeted.
Nice work, leftists.
Don’t expect the state-run media to report on this.
Greendale is a suburb of Milwaukee.

Doesn’t matter….There’s a Koch connection somewhere.

Wonderful people.
Seriously? I want these people to experience true socialism. The secret police would already have them, would torture them and then ship them off to gulag city.

So did the vandals make their escape in a police patrol car driven by unionized cops?

Why do I suspect that if someone painted “Go Walker” on the walls of the PBA hall the cops would find the miscreant and pummel him to near death in minutes.
Ginger commented:
Can the voters decide if they want to keep their police, fireman, sheriff unionized? If so it needs to be put on an election ballott PDQ..and then let the voters decide the law inforcements fate to stay union or not!
This is to set an example to other states that they better not dare take no rights away from them. They want the tax payers to keep spreading the wealth to them. INTIMIDATION
Do not give in Wisconsin! Stand tall!
Stuart commented:
Another example of how to win friends and influence people.

These dummies don’t realize that the millions of Union dues are being deposited in banks,the institutions that they hate so.

I’m guessing the bank will now make a nice contribution to Walker’s re-election campaign.

I doubt they’ll see it, but Police and FireFighters announcing a boycott against businesses that harbour a different political view from their’s seems to underscore the inherent flaw of having public “servants” unionized.
Will these businesses now be on a “F*** It, Drive On” list?
BuddyG commented:
Wow, graffiti. That certainly advances their cause.
gus commented:
I’m sure the JEWS are to blame. These poor poor GOVERNMENT WORKERS are being forced to contribue 1/8th of their health care premium and 1/20th of their pensions.
It’s the JEWS or BUSH.
Radegunda commented:
This is becoming open warfare by the government class against the whole private sector that is taxed to support them.
When the police and firefighters openly announce boycotts against any businesses that don’t put the interests of the government class ahead of the needs of the taxpayers, does anyone believe that the police and firefighters might not find other ways to punish anyone who fails to side with the government class? All in the name of “law enforcement”?
We have already seen “law enforcement” in Madison shirking their responsibilities to the general public that pays their salaries and luxurious benefits, in favor of the coercive power of government unions. My respect for law enforcement has plummeted dramatically in the past couple of weeks.
Ginger commented:
How much you want to bet that if that community organizer was removed from office that the scums, not al, will sink back down to the bottom of the earth.

#17 – “Will these businesses now be on a “F*** It, Drive On” list?”
My thought exactly WRT these particular unions “boycotting” businesses. Would a fire at the screen printer be put out? Would a robbery at this bank have cops show up for investigation, or would they bring their picket signs?
This is really getting out of hand. Back in the ’70s a large local business had a run-in with the local union. The owner of the business, said that there is no more money available. The unions continued to press. The owner told them to either return to work or he’d shut the plant down. They called his bluff. He shut the plant down immediately and moved operations elsewhere. The union’s intransigence resulted in over 1200 people unemployed, a local economy crippled, and the union bosses still raking in their salary. What did they care?
Same thing happened in the ’80s around here at the coal mines. That interminably long strike resulted in a large percentage of the coal mines getting shut down and I don’t know how many folks unemployed. Yet the out of town union bosses just packed up after their rabble rousing and left, still being paid.
When will union members get a clue?! These bosses don’t have anything but their own self-interest in mind. They don’t care one bit about the members.
wanumba commented:
Someone hiding behind vandals is coveting the bank’s assets. A political philosophy that promotes the mortal sin of coveting, abetted by the mortal sins of lying and stealing and in it’s advanced form, murder.
Following Progressive Leftism is a guaranteed path to hell.
Dagwood commented:
Union protesters’ deeds and mindset eminds me of the following:
Zhivago: “It seems you’ve burnt the wrong village.”
Pasha: “They always say that, and what does it matter? A village betrays us, a village is burned. The point’s made.”
Zhivago: “Your point – their village.”

M%T Bank should remove the graffiti, after a week, following these changes:
1) Change the F-You part to “Thank You,” and;
2) Add to the “Unions are forever” the phrase “(like herpes)…”
My 2 cents…
ann j commented:
It is a shame what these people do…They act more like spoiled children throwing a temper tantrum cause they didnt get their way…The state should calculate the damage and charge it to every single group that brought people in including Jesse Jackson..They all should pay to clean it up
navy commented:
can we ban spray pint now?
navy commented:
that should read spray paint.
Granny commented:
You know, if these Union goons were instead Mob goons (and in some cases they are really one and the same) their actions in Wisconsin would have them all headed for jail for extortion under RICO statutes.
tommy mc donnell commented:
this is the college and high school students doing this. too bad they don’t pay as much attention to what their teachers say about math and science as they do about left wing philosophy.
Dave-O commented:
Pull a piglet off the sow’s teat and listen to it squeal.
That’s the sound coming from the unions in Wisconsin today.
avery commented:
The Unions will do everything the can to keep new business from coming to town,they have to keep unemploye high to make Walker look bad.
Radegunda commented:
PB-in-AL, quite right: The union leadership has sometimes been quite open about regarding the shut-down of businesses — complete with a large-scale loss of jobs — as a victory for them. They’re leftists, which means they’re less interested in improving the lives of average people than in bringing the whole system down and grabbing the levers of power for themselves.
Obama’s doing the same thing. He’s not interested in creating jobs and encouraging prosperity. He’s interested in tightening the grip of government power over the whole society.
Jimmy Boy commented:
What would the cops do if it was Dunkin’ Donuts that contributed to Scott Walker? Boycott them?

So these government monopolies, who operate outside antitrust law and who are financed by the confiscation of other people’s wealth, are now going to boycott private sector businesses?… businesses who have to compete in the market, businesses who cannot throw people in jail for not buying their goods and services… do these people think this strategy stands any chance of long-term success?
There will come a day when we “boycott” them…
PB-in-AL commented:
Radegunda- #33 – Thanks, I agree that it’s coming from the top. Obama sanctioned this sort of thing when he made comments against Walker. Walker’s a classier act than me; I would have told O-boy to MYOFB!
Jimmy Boy – #34 – LOL! Indeed.
Dagwood – #24 – wow, that’s a very succinct illustration. Thanks.

Aww, they’re just practicing “broken window” economics, certainly the left isn’t full of thuggish dolts./sarc.
Ann commented:
First responders will never be looked at the same again. I’m disgusted with the police, and firemen in Wisconsin. Shameful! Ya its about me me me. That’s how the left works. That’s how the unions work. THEY ARE NOT FOR THE TAXPAYER THEY SAY THEY SERVE. They serve themselves and that’s all. We could fire ALL of them in WI and give jobs to those are out of work and I bet you’d have a much better work force.
I remember scabbing for a grocery store in the 70′s. The union workers were nice to us, BUT what was really telling, the customers told us we were doing a better job and friendlier than their normal work force. Unions better wake up. WE ARE YOUR NEIGHBORS TOO.
valerie commented:
Now we know why Wisconsin threw the bums out and replaced them with Republicans — the unions had an entirely too cozy relationship with the Dems.
There’s a solution to this problem: pass a right-to-work law. Keep ‘em honest.
