Kerfuffle in Madison. Teabaggers disrupt Solidarity sing-along

[PeaceNikki]

Two men were arrested at the Capitol this afternoon after Solidarity singers say a singer was punched in the face. http://yfrog.com/kgummrj

This is developing. From Sen Chris Larson: One way to ensure that the peaceful protests at the Capitol aren't peaceful anymore is for a Republican ex-Senator to come in with his friends, one of whom punches a peaceful protestor in the face. Which just happened. Everyone should condemn this, especially Walker & Republican leadership.

1. Interesting.... from a reply on Chris Larson's FB post

"I witnessed the whole thing. Dave Zien raced his wheelchair around the inside of the singing circle on the ground floor and tried to run over people's feet including women and children. Later the two other men with him unfurled a banner "Don't tread on me" and proceeded to walk around the first floor rotunda. They dragged their sign over the singers, hitting them in the face with it. Several of us stepped a few feet back from the edge of the rotunda and the two men pushed our signs aside forcefully. One of them put a singer in a headlock, punched him and broke his tooth. These are the same guys who want to carry guns in the Capital. Shame, Dave Zien and cohorts! Shame!"

4. Zien was always a nut case. He finally lost an election and he

went traveling. He drives a big motorcycle (like Walker does so they are buds). He was in a bad accident in FL not to long ago.

3. We get wall-to-wall coverage of this, right?

And there will be endless calls for party politicians to denounce this violence, right? And any politician not reflexively jumping up will be raked over the coals until he or she does come out with a statement condemning the disruptors in the strongest possible terms, right?

What? This is Republican violence? Oh. Well. That's very different. Never mind.

13. Those solidarity sing along people have been there every day for months without incident

Asshole teabaggers. x(

5. "...Teabaggers disrupt..." says it all for me

That's what they are all about..disrupting..

7. If the protestor, had bunched the T-Bagger, the Beltway Botox Brigade

would have called out all the satellite trucks.

8. Can you imagine if it were the other way around?

A union supporter could accidentally bump a teabagger, be dragged to the ground, beaten, hospitalized, and the teabaggers would be lauded by the M$M as 'heroes' for subduing an 'aggressor'.

At the very least, the union supporter would be arrested. But not these assholes.

10. But not these assholes?

What part of 2 men arrested did you miss?

-Hoot

15. The part where two men were arrested.

Didn't realize that was in the OP I was responding to.

Color me surprised.

11. As hootin said, they were arrested

Capitol Police have been good and those peaceful singers are there every day.

9. Teabagger Thugs Attack Peaceful Solidarity Sing-Along

Of course, a headline like that would violate the MSM's marching orders.
