What a shock.
A far left protester was arrested at a protest last week in Milwaukee. The violent leftist was accused of battery.

This protest was held after the superglued the doors.
WISC reported:
Vandalism and protests greeted Gov. Scott Walker Friday at a Milwaukee Catholic school.
Police said one protester was arrested, accused of battery, and school officials said they’re outraged about the damage to their building.
A couple of hundred protesters rallied outside Messmer Catholic Preparatory School in Milwaukee’s Riverwest neighborhood. They spoke out against Walker’s cuts to public education and collective bargaining rights.
“Recall Walker,” protesters chanted.
A crowd filled the sidewalks outside of Messmer Prep School, with a message for Walker.
“Hey. Hey. Ho. Ho. Scott Walker has got to go,” protesters chanted.
The governor was at the school Friday to read to students and promote his third-grade reading initiative.
But when word of his of his visit got out Thursday, police said a vandal tried to shut down the school by gluing the doors’ locks.
Messmer’s president said he was outraged that someone would vandalize the school because the governor was visiting.

Union people has the “I am better then thee” mentality! A lot comes from the union protection they have been given at their work place and it spills over into their daily lives. Drugs and booze helps them feel better about themselves.

White liberals demonstrating against a nonunion predominately black school providing an excellent education.
StanInTexas commented:
Messmer’s President may have been “OUTRAGED” that the school was vandalized, but he could not have been shocked. This is thype of behaviour that we have all come to expect from the Left.

I get why we’re labeling these people far Left – because that’s what they are.
But doing so allows for the idea that some or many of the people who support this ideology are “mainstream Left”, when the reality is that there is no room between them.
The people who are behaving like this are mainstream Left.

What happened to the video of the thugs shouting at the police officers?

Very talented editing. Love how the video cuts back and forth from the rude union thugs to the gentle civil priest. The communists want the black people kept inside their public school hell holes where they can be sexually corrupted, and ideologically programmed into democrat voting socialists with racial grievances.

Some folks are just stupid and behave accordingly.
I do have a question about the third grade reading initiative. What does that actually mean? I know when I started kindergarten, I knew my alphabet, could recognize certain words, and by the time I moved from kindergarten to first grade, I could read. That students are not able to read by first grade is ridiculous. Of course, back then, we were put in three groups. Those who had not learned the alphabet were in one group. Those whose reading skills were marginal were in another, and the third group was made up of students who had mastered reading. The incentive for all students was to be in the third group by the end of the school year. Education has become a joke and not a funny one. Here I believe the goal is to have students reading by fifth grade. How can they learn anything if they are not able to read from the get-go?
So, is the third grade reading initiative to have students reading by third grade? And why not have them reading before they leave first grade?
Ginger commented:
The video I watched was six minutes long..it had the thugs shouting at the police officers who were arresting a tall old white man. The union thugs were shouting to the police officers that they were on private property asking where their warrent was. Who were they trying to protect! They were up close and loud while the police officers were taking the man down the street! Why is that video gone?
dnb commented:
The last guy said it best, “just a simply summer day, when people are working (or not), don’t have a chance to do much, come out to protest.” That would be the union to a tee.

Back in the day (my day), reading was one of the improtant sources of entertainment. Unless you were thrilled with soap operas, or Lawrence Welk, books were the way to go. Only sports could compete. There wasn’t a movie house every few miles. Now that there is easy entertainment on the Net, theaters everywhere, a wall full of DVDs at most homes. Teachers have a harder time motivating students to read (even among the well-off). Very sad.
Thus the need for reading initiatives. Compound that with marginal existance in high crime environments, fatherless families, easy money selling drugs. Teachers really have their work cut out for them
What is shocking ( and intimidating) to the public school administrator is that schools like Messmer Catholic Preparatory School actually perform well, even under these circumstances. Go figure (dare I mention the expectationas of discipline and self restraint.) Oh! the horrors or requiring personal and family responsibility!

Goonions are in their death throes here in WI. Wausau is having a “union only” parade on Labor Day on the city streets. Pathetic little parasites practicing legal extortion.

“‘He’s claiming he’s bringing in jobs, but they’re low-paying jobs. They’re jobs that don’t have any benefits. The guy’s a fraud,’ protester Spike Bandy said.”
You notice how the left has upped the bar. Now jobs don’t count if they aren’t high-paying or don’t “have benefits.”
HandyAndy commented:
Go Governor Walker, stand your ground. You are an inspiration to the people. Don’t let the Union paid goons intimidate you.

This is great. I loved seeing those beautiful children – so well-behaved – and then those repulsive “adults” outside behaving so obnoxiously.
Keep the contrasts coming. Lefties are Losers.
Mark commented:
Vandalized school a shock? The union goons will terrorize opponents and beat them half to death. Don’t look for equality under the law because you don’t have the votes or make the correct political contributions. De-certify ALL public sector unions.
ipso facto commented:
To me, this video showed a significant divide that is developing in the Black community. Here we saw polite and gracious black children being taught (by Black people) not only how to read and write, but how to behave in order to be successful and to realize their fullest potential in life. The people who were the custodians of the best interests of those children were doing their job!
On the other hand we see the unions (made up mostly of White liberals) demonstrating against this institution because it represents choice. They clearly would rather see black schools full of gangs and crime encased in miles of chain link fencing with their inferior teachers on the Union payroll. Those liberals clearly have contempt for people who want choice.
Thank God there are more and more Black people that are waking up and realizing that if they embrace certain values, only then will they realize their fullest potential. I hope this portion of the Black community grows like mad. All of America would rejoice to see Black people joining in with the dominant culture and embracing education, discipline and manners.
Too bad the White trash demonstrators didn’t have the same manners as the Black students in that school!

Sounds good to me.
The brighter the light, the better.
judgeroybean commented:
And these viscious union thugs have the gall to accuse Tea Party members of being terrorists? These racists will do whatever it takes to keep black kids illiterate, unmotivated, uneducated, undisciplined, government dependent, and on the plantation. The unions do not care one iota for the children. All they care about is keeping blindly loyal air head teachers paying their union dues. Wonder how many Wisconsin teachers have their own children in private schools? How many union officials have their own kids in private schools? Time for National RIGHT-TO-WORK and privatization of schools.
CT commented:
The face of 21st century Marxism is a Union Goon. Their demonstrations are an object lesson of thuggery for all America to see.
Rich Fallis commented:
What is truly amazing is the break-down of the rule of law by Governor Walker and his think-alikes has not resulted in much more and much worse.
The Governor ignored two bench rulings, refused entry to the Capitol to sitting members, even refusing one for a committee vote, broke the State Constitution on several occasions, saw another Member wrestled to the ground by Walker cop goons when he tried to enter his office, broke the law by ignoring the Open Meetings Law (which was rubber stamped by a Republican Supreme Court that didn’t even bother to listen to evidence before ruling). And of course, threatened to use the National Guard to bludgeon kindergarten teachers.
And even considered ‘with other legislators’ using hired provacateurs to wade into the crowds of peaceful protesters to mix it up.
And the worst he’s seen is public protests with some idiot brandishing crazy glue on school doors.
Frankly, the guy is lucky to still be able to fog a mirror.
The common decency of Wisconsinites is simply a marvel. Jesus, Ghandi and Martin Luther King Jr. taught us well and would be proud of our actions.
