5. It already is, police/security are there in force.
The Fitzgeralds admitted to having security concerns, expect little tolerance by law-enforcement tonight or tomorrow.

I'd be surprised if the Guard hasn't been activated already.

16. The unionized cops should begin arresting all the top Republicans
and throw them into prison for violating Wisconsin law and ignoring the open meetings law.

6. The key is to be civil and unmoved. It is not illegal to be angry, yet.
Stand your ground and give them no reason to use force. We are all watching, and that includes the world.

7. Everyone knows...they evacuated the R's through tunnels
under tight security.

The crowd is angry at people who are no longer in the vicinity of the Capitol

10. The crowd is angry about what is being done to them, it doesn't matter whether
the perpetrators are there or not, this is the place to meet and gather to show solidarity and upset at the Dictatorship and it's destructive forces in Wisconsin. We should be with them in spirit and support them with everything we have. This is ground zero to stand up for all of the people and spit in the eye of the 2% who brought us to this very sad day.

9. Please keep it non violent...
I understand the anger must be boiling over, but any kind of violence or rioting will give Walker exactly what he wants.

American's are not like Europeans, American's won't have any tolerance at all for even the slightest bit of violence.

Peaceful protests garner sympathy, violence of any kind won't.

12. Agreed, you know how fast the "news" would report any violence where democrats and independents
are concerned........probably even Republicans in that crowd. May they be safe and I hope the Kochs don't have any surprises for the crowd, planned in advance notice of what was to come. I would put nothing past these types, nothing.

21. I'd bet you are right. Sometimes, we must stand up to the bully and fight to stop them from
bothering or picking on us in the future.

18. That's ok, release those tears, and then come out fighting. They cannot win this war. We must
and those who have to cry, pray or do whatever before the fight, then do it and then be ready to do what needs to be done to stop the Koch Owned Republicons and their war against all of us. They started this and we must engage to end it. I'm sorry for us all that this is happening, but we cannot ignore them anymore. Our Towers are on fire and we must fight so that they can never attack us like this again. It is domestic terrorism, and it must be fought and we must win. I don't know where this is going, but I will not sit idle while the majority of us are being attacked.

17. I just read that what they did was illegal.
If it is, then bring on the lawyers and keep the fight going. Sue them, strike, do everything they do not expect people to do.

They must not get away with this.

It truly is a war on the American people. Now they are showing their true colors. Finally the people will get to see just who these morons represent.

20. What is legal and what is not does not matter to these types of radical tyrants
they do want they want whether it is against the law or not, whether the constitution says it's legal or not. They know there will be a court fight, but in the mean time, they think they have won. They have not and they will not. I'm willing to die to stop what they are doing in this country because I don't want to live in their warped version of America so I feel that I have nothing to lose anymore and they forced me into this position, and all of us into this game of theirs called the rich and powerful against everyone else. I guess it's finally game on.
