‘Strong evidence’ shows Capitol rioters wanted to ‘capture and assassinate’
The FBI’s investigation into [Jacob] Chansley [the guy pictured above], reveal[s] that he left a note for Mike Pence warning that ‘it’s only a matter of time, justice is coming.’ ‘Strong evidence, including Chansley’s own words and actions at the Capitol, supports that the intent of the Capitol rioters was to capture and assassinate elected officials in the United States government,’ prosecutors wrote….
‘When questioned as to the meaning of that statement, Chansley went on a lengthy diatribe describing current and past United States political leaders as infiltrators, specifically naming Vice President Mike Pence, former President Barack Obama, former Senator Hillary Clinton and U.S. President-elect Joe Biden as infiltrators involved in various types of wrongdoing,’ prosecutors wrote. ‘

At the 10-year anniversary of the mob takeover of WI State Capitol
From Scott Walker’s book Unintimidated:
“The police retreated in the face of the horde, giving up the first floor, then the second. The protesters ran amok, chanting ‘This is our house!’ and ‘This is what democracy looks like!’ And they then began searching for the Republican senators who had dared to defy the will of the unions. As the crowd scoured the building looking for the offending legislators, police sneaked them out through an underground tunnel to a government building across the street. But a Democratic representative posted on social media that the Republican senators were escaping through the tunnels, so when the senators came up into the lobby, the mob was there waiting for them.” (H/T Joe Handrick)
Trump let Mike Pence twist in the wind
“When people are in the Capitol, ransacking the Capitol and bring to get to the Senate chamber and the House chamber, and Vice President Mike Pence is in the Capitol and the President is tweeting [from the White House] the vice president lacks courage [because he would not overturn the vote — a power he does not have under the Constitution], I just cannot abide that.” — U.S. Rep. Tom Rice, R-S.C.

“I wonder if the protestors who destroyed the statue of Col. Heg and threw it in Lake Monona heard the voices of those Norwegian boys who lay buried in their graves dug long ago, after fighting for their strongest beliefs? Did they hear them say, ‘We did it for you’?”
Were there a Pulitzer Prize for a “two sentence category,” whomever wrote this should dust off a place on their mantel!

It depends if the sentiment was spoken in the Ebonic dialect.

Excellent comment, David. I think it would further discourse about the Civil War statues, if instead of ripping them out, we would add something, as you have: A balanced, bronzed summary of who the statue portrays, why the statue exists, and what it memorializes. Then, the radicals would have no excuse for their self-absorbed actions.

Far as I can tell, Heg was a distant family relative. I’m more than deeply offended by the mob.
At least, I know have lost ANY reservation about using “any means necessary” if confronted by mobsters, anarchists, or commies, regardless their race.
The act to trash the Heg statue validates the hypocrisy and ignorance of BLM. I have no White Guilt.

Not only have their despicable “leaders” refused to voice ANY regret whatsoever, they have defended their wanton destruction of these symbols with ridiculous PC babble about how the city wasn’t living up top the values symbolized by the statues. Complete sophistry. But Madison liberals can’t kowtow fast enough. “How about we put up a statue of Vel Phillips?”
This is infuriating. The implication is that the torn down statues were not politically correct ENOUGH, and a more acceptable one would be “safe” from their reign of terror. How revolting. Yep. keep feeding that alligator, maybe he’ll eat you last.

Our Lefty friends @Madison.com, i.e., the hive-minded, lockstep Lefties with bylines, have suggested Vel Phllips be honored with a statue as it checks off at least two boxes in their proglobotic playing of identity politics, but I’d prefer the original statues be restored.
If Gov. Evers doesn’t direct it be done ASAP, my alternativee would be a statue of Milt McPike. He’s done more for blacks than will ever be recognized.
Everyday I thank God we have the stupidest Lefty social justice warrior protestors on the planet.

Dog…Gee, at least I can start a lawnmower.
I concur about the general blockheadedness of today’s Madison leftist, though. Where, in God’s name, is any appeal to altruism, decency to all persons arrested, etc.? Instead, in our airy bastion of academia, we get baseball bats, lighter fluid, and nihilism.
No Martin Luther King Jr. in sight.
