State Patrol: No orders to go to Capitol.

[Jackpine Radical]

City & Capitol Police have withdrawn to 4th floor, where they are relaxing & "watching the show."

[8 track mind]

1. sweet! n/t

[nadinbrzezinski]

2. State Patrol on REGULAR channel is

pretty "quiet" too. Just responding to normal shit... and my mind is going back to the damn code...

I gotta clear up what I mean by quiet. That means no arrests, no accidents, or just the usual... a medical call here or there... but not coming in to bust skulls.

Pure speculation, Fitzgerald (dad) found out his cops are not up for the task.

[Cleita]

3. Or that they aren't going to do it.

Aren't they unionized too?

[nadinbrzezinski]

7. Yep, and when you are a chief and the indians

are creative about refusing to obey orders.

[mzteris]

4. wait - another Fitzgerald?

Besides the brothers, Scot & Jeff (the leaders of the Senate & Assembly?)

[nadinbrzezinski]

5. Dad...

talk about a trifecta.

[mzteris]

8. what's his role?

and how did these guys gain such power?

[nadinbrzezinski]

11. Head of the State patrol

and they are very well connected. Oh we call that corruption too.

[Jackpine Radical]

12. You're up on the details, I see.

Dad is a 68 year-old ex-sheriff appointed by Hosni to solidify his relationship with the 2 kids.

I went to sleep in Wisconsin and woke up in a cartoon.

17. Actually to get their graft fully in

what can I say? I have not listened to police radio in decades. Studiously avoided it...

:-)

10. Dad, I believe I've read........

A regular Republican nepotism cluster fuck.

[Aerows]

6. I'd say...

... they are very much up to the job, of keeping their oath to protect and to serve by declining, if that is in fact what happened.

I think honestly, though, there are just too many people there, and while they are noisy, they are very peaceful.

[nadinbrzezinski]

9. 25K people is not something I sneeze at.

[Jackpine Radical]

13. There'll be 150,000 there by morning, I bet.

[nadinbrzezinski]

15. Would not shock me

I guess it is time to order more pizza at Ian's

[undeterred]

16. I'm going to bring my dog down to the Capitol see if he can herd people...

This will be the real test. Democrats to the right, Greens to the middle, Socialists to the left. Anyone who smells like a rightwinger, bite them on the ass and chase them off the square.

[Scuba]

14. They're able, now willing.

[SugarShack]

18. They should strike...then they can worry who they'll call and maybe appreciate the workers!!

[nadinbrzezinski]

19. There are calls for that

votes too. Would not shock me.

For the moment, still listening to radio chatter... damn this is "quiet" and that is GOOD.

[nadinbrzezinski]

20. Hey I love it when the WSJ confirms my suspicion

#wiunion DOA spokesman says there'll be no attempt to clear the building by force. "There are way too many to move them out involuntarily."
