Wisconsin Department of Administration Backing Off Claims that Windows and Doors Broken At Capitol

First the 7.5 million in damage bullshit and now this shit to try to influence people into thinking this is a huge Mob. The Wisconsin DOA is nothing more than the Ministry of Propaganda for Emperor Walker

#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."

4. Is the DOA person appointed?
That person needs to be gone too. But before that happens they need to publicly make sure he gets accused and humiliated until the day he dies.

8. Just now on The Up Take live feed - how the bathroom windows were rigged
So that protesters could not get in or out of them.

First they showed how screws were screwed into the window frame to keep the windows from being opened more than a fraction of an inch. The heads had been cut off the screws, which means that in order to removed them, there is a likelihood of damaging the windows.

Then the people on the outside unscrewed some bolts or screws that had been put in on the outside to keep the top half of the double hung windows from being opened. Just as they got the top half open, cops came in, closed and locked the window and chased everyone out of the restroom.

Any damage to the windows was the result of the administration blocking the access to the capitol by the people.

9. Wouldn't those windows being sealed shut be considered
a fire hazard? I wonder what would happen in the case of a fire. I guess those who ran for the windows in the bathrooms would have to break the class to escape. It seems really irresponsible to have screwed the windows shut and then cut off the heads of the screws.

10. I would consider it to be permanent damage to that historic building
And if they were trying to make the building secure, why was it possible for the people OUTSIDE to unscrew the screws by hand with no tools?
