Ring the Capitol Square with National Guardsmen
and deploy them all the way down State Street;
Round up the ringleaders now!
This is what Progressivism gets you: The statue of an immigrant Union colonel who gave his life to end slavery and quash the Confederacy — hauled down and dumped in Lake Monona.
Tuesday night’s (06-24-2020) riot (there is no other word for it) was not a protest against racial injustice, it was about creating demolishing civilization; vandalism for its own sake. Mindless mob nihilism.
This is liberal governance for you: Miss Forward, the seven-foot statue of a strong and proud woman standing at the prow of a boat as if to direct Wisconsin into the bright future, toppled. This is not a demonstration, it is an act of civil insurrection. And the City of Madison, Dane County, the State of Wisconsin is powerless to stop the destruction?
Here are your civil rights: A liberal state senator, Tim Carpenter, D-Milwaukee, pummeled for trying to record the carnage. All because a petty criminal with a lengthy rap sheet resists arrest — an arrest for harassing and threatening with bullhorn and a baseball bat) at point-blank range innocent restaurant-goers? Accusing random diners of unproven racism? This is your hero? This is your George Floyd?
Put an end to this progressive terrorism!
If Tony Evers does not call in the National Guard today he should be removed from office. It is too late for Mayor Satya Rhodes Conway, the mayor of Madison who apologized for sympathizing with Madison’s tormented police. Who has directed the police innumerable times to stand down. She must, herself, stand down. (Liberal blogger Gregory Humphrey was the first to make this call.)
Where is Dane County Executive Joe Parisi? The City-County Building was firebombed Wednesday night? Why hasn’t Sheriff Dave Mahoney deployed his deputies? Madison is burning. Where were the Capitol Police?
Ha! “Sire Gq” took it down. Too incriminating.
Arrest Sire Gq, the guy who announces
“We got ourselves a M-F* * * -ing tow truck.” and
“C’mon downtown tonight, it’s about to go down.”
The police union must declare a vote of No Confidence in the mayor. Police Chief Vic Wahl must summon his inner Mike Koval and declare, publicly, that his job is to protect the people of Madison and to hell with kowtowing to the crazies.
School board president Gloria Reyes must declare that MMSD will honor its contract for police in the public high schools. The Common Council must declare that police will NOT BE DEFUNDED in the next budget.
The Wisconsin State Journal must demand strong and decisive action. Kaleem Caire, the Rev. Gee, Ruben Anthony, Michael Johnson, and other local civil rights leaders must denounce the terrorism. And every guilty white liberal.
The Official Police Report
On Tuesday evening into Wednesday morning, a group of 200-300 people along with a number of vehicles moved through the downtown Madison area. The group initially marched, blocked intersections, and obstructed driveways. As the group’s behavior escalated, they entered a private condominium building and surrounded a towing vehicle (requiring the driver to abandon the vehicle).
The group later moved to the Capital Square and removed two statutes from the Capital grounds (Lady Forward and Hans Christian Heg), and broke windows in a number of buildings. Windows at the City-County Building were broken, and a Molotov cocktail was thrown into the building. The group went on to also attempt to force entry to the State Capital building. OC spray was deployed from within the State Capitol building to repel individuals who were attempting to force entry.
Blaska’s Bottom Line: It is the Broken Windows theory of crime; give an inch and they take a mile. There is no way to satisfy the anarchists’ demands. Madison is doing its best to re-elect Donald Trump. How long before The Proud Boys, the Boogaloo Bois, et cetera show up in town? Me, I’m having lunch at Cooper’s Tavern today.

First, any insurance company that has paid out, or will be asked to do so, for damages from the RIOTERS (not protesters) downtown, should file suit against The City of Madison and Mayor Satya for gross negligence. They have provided no basic police protection at all. In fact they have instructed the police to stand down. No “protester” is to be arrested period.
Next, there needs to be a class action lawsuit making the same charge on the behalf of property tax payers, for the precipitous drop in real estate values that will surely result. How about a real “civil” protest? How about everybody refuses to pay their property taxes? They can’t put us all in jail, and they can’t afford to confiscate all the property. A tax revolt might get their attention.

Someone is going to get killed before any of Madison’s illustrious leaders lift a finger. Mayor Satyaphatassdown is completely incompetent — boxed in by her own ridiculous leftist ideology, excusing and enabling mayhem and failing to maintain even a baseline of public safety. The County Executive is silent as a church mouse. The Governor today said the equivalent of “stop, or I’ll say stop again.” All 3 of them appear to be weaklings, cowering in silence, trying to craft and compare public statements that won’t piss off radical violent anarchists. Meanwhile the rest of us watch this city being turned into a waste dump.

Exactly correct. Silence is consent… this was, in jail terms, “getting checked” – and Madison proved to be willing to squeal like a little piggy.

It is a masterful passive agression to have the spokesmouth of the Free Devontre/Jesus Moses movement say this arson, destruction of public property and vehicle theft is Settyaphatassdown’s fault because they’ve not been heard with bullhorns, blocking traffic, arson and looting.
If only there was a plain spoken, leader somewhere, since there isn’t one in Wisconsin, that could reverse this lawlessness and protect the citizenry.

Either a municipality stands for law and order or it doesn’t. Naïve feckless Madison reps clearly, obviously, do not believe in law and order but appeasement instead. Brilliant!

Teachers have been attacking the self-image, self-esteem of their White pupils with the Racist Hate message of mythical White privilege”. Teachers have rabidly attacked the foundations of the Nation to sooth their “Daddy issues”.
Well these teacher’s unions have been quietly stuffing their pockets with overly LIBERAL pensions and benefits at the expense of the oppressed People of Color. Therefore in the spirit of Equality and Reparations which the teachers haveLIBERALLY preached for so long it is only proper that 75% of those FAT pensions be LIBERALLY distributed to the Elderly People of Color who were denied the opportunities the privileged teachers milked for all they could.
