As Republicans rushed through a so-called “Right to Work” bill in the Wisconsin State Senate on Wednesday, some people were removed from the galleries for outbursts but not arrested, while at least two people were taken to an off-site Department of Administration processing facility and made to find their own way back to the State Capitol over a mile away in a bitter snowstorm.

Due to a fear of protesters assembling in front of the Senate entrance, Capitol Police used velvet ropes to block off an area normally open to public access. When some people exited through elevators inside of the roped-off area, police told them to go behind the ropes where other people had assembled. If they didn’t move fast enough, they were promptly arrested.

Kelley Dee Albrecht, the Democratic opponent of GOP Assembly Majority Leader Robin Vos in the 2012 election, was one such person. Kelley provided an account of her arrest to WCMC.

“I was trying to make my way around all the police ‘barricades’ kettling the people around the building. I came off the elevator of the second floor to a bunch of Capitol Police officers and troopers. I saw a friend and gave them a hug.”..........Lots more.........

8. Governor 1%

Thinks all his union foes and their attendant minions are the wisconsin representation of the terrorist organization known as ISL or ISIS. So don't be surprised when the simple minded cowards attached to walkers hip act like dumbasses. Fear is why they act this way. They are terrified that their actions are going to cause a violent reaction. They may be right. King George acted with a belief in his immunity to accountability, as does governor 1%. But most of these right wing extremist legislators are not sociopaths like their dead eyed leader and they know, they feel in their bones and their nightmares that something or someone is going to make them accountable. That day will witness wailing and pleading, the crying of the wind as it transitions into the whirlwind.

... via his designated route - through the sewer.
