But R.I.P. cowardly Democrats!
BULLETIN: Due to heightened security concerns, the August 4 Madison Common Council and Executive Committee meetings will be held virtually (not in person) “to ensure the safety of community members, City staff, and elected officials.”
It’s the cover of The Capital Times, Madison WI’s progressive proponent of grievance politics, open borders, Defund the Police, and big gummint socialism: “Corey Ruiz: A City in Mourning.”
FAKE NEWS! Madison is not in mourning for Corey Ruiz! Madison mourned for JFK after Dallas. Madison mourned for the astronauts who went down with the Challenger space shuttle. Madison mourned for the victims of the school shooting at Abundant Life school.
But very few Madisonians are actually mourning the predictable demise of Corey Ruiz, career criminal. Certainly not bullhorn-chasing attorney Ben Crump, smacking his lips over the hefty settlement the city’s insurer will pay rather than take its chances with a Madison jury, just as it bought another “martyr’s” mother an exotic Italian sports car.
No, the Woke denizens of Willy Street called police to protect them from Corey Ruiz and the others attracted to the street by the lure of more free stuff at Brenda Konkel’s Community Justice Center. Better that police feel Corey’s sharp blade than “The Community” confront his thievery themselves. Let police do the dirty work and blame them when they defend themselves against mortal harm.
Blaska has this cockamamie plan to rent an electronic billboard in town that would flash these words:”Madison Supports Our Police.” But he needs $4,300 to put it up for a week. I take PayPal!
The bullhorn of bull✱✱✱✱
Attention, cop haters! The police did not sign up for permanent disability; that’s the occupational hazard of the line of work chosen by Corey Ruiz. Police don’t do fair fights; they intend to go home to their families when shift ends. (Guys! Don’t fight people wearing guns!)
The vanguard of Madison progressives are not mourning. The news is reporting the carnival-like atmosphere at their no-fly autonomous zone. When they’re not blocking traffic, harassing bystanders, and shutting down music concerts. It’s so glorious, the Revolution, until its nihilism claims its own victims, like those in Seattle and Portland. The agitators are using Corey’s death, which resulted from resisting lawful arrest, to further their agenda, which, not so coincidentally, is that of The Capital Times. These are Francesca Hong’s people. And those of Brandi Grayson, Freedom Inc., Mark Pocan, Paul Fanlund, John Nichols, and (increasingly) the Democrat(ic) party.

[Republican party-endorsed Tom] Tiffany should send the protesters pizzas as a reward, because that type of anti-cop insanity will not go over well with the voters in the rest of the state. Tiffany is getting the opponent he wants and he has the context in which to place her and bullhorn. It’s all made to order for a Republican victory in November in Wisconsin. — Trump-hating blogger James Wigderson
Blaska’s Bottom Line: The barricaded occupied zone at the intersection of Baldwin and Williamson Streets is NOT what democracy looks like. It is what today’s Democratic Party of Wisconsin looks like. Their five candidates for governor “debated” Tuesday night 07-28-26. Not a one of them criticized the socialist among them, Francesca Hong, for calling Ruiz’s death “an execution” when they had every opportunity to do so. Their silence is complicity.

I’m mourning reality, accountability, common sense, moral and values. I am mourning how society used to be before all this insanity!!
How do I sign up to contribute to the “Madison Supports Our Police” billboard?
PM me on Facebook
Sorry, I’m not on Facebook.
When exactly is the “community” ? Thugs and criminals. If so do you want them as your neighbor.
Too bad there are no billboards on Williamson St.
Why hasn’t the mayor asked for flags to be flown at half-mast for the exceptional Corey Ruiz?
I am, admittedly, observing all this from afar, on the internet. It appears as though “the community” has erected some sort of phallic structure in the middle of the intersection to honor the life of Corey? Late night “community” twerk vigils in their grief over his demise? Curiously lacking are all the news articles about how he was a devoted family man, doting father with dreams of going to college, and shining light in the lives of all who knew him. And nothing of the job application that he filled out at a local burger place 20 years ago, that he was anxiously waiting to hear back from? A few articles hint that he may have had “mental issues”, it is instead, “the community”, that has the “mental issues”.
I believe the phallic structure you refer to is the FIST from the the George Floyd memorial in Minneapolis. Organizers and activists from Minneapolis transported it to Madison Friday afternoon.
Nancy, thanks for the explanation, (pictures of it are very ambiguous). Perhaps they should put up a sign explaining what it is. If “the community” decides at some point to go into “riot mode” it will end up in the lake. Then there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth, lamenting the act of bringing it to Madison!
Perhaps it will end up down the street in the Yahara River blocking the boat traffic between Lakes Monona and Mendota. OOPS I hope I didn’t give them another idea.
I’d like to see the fist become a tradition and put out on the Lake Mendota ice along with the Statue of Liberty. Parents can tell their toddlers it’s George Floyd under the ice better be good or he’s gonna get ya.
His daughter is quoted in the Cap Times article as saying her deadbeat dad was a “lyricist, a poet, and an artist.” I wonder who wrote that little script for her (my guess is a certain shyster lawyer). I also wonder how often in her short life her poetic, artistic father actually found time to spend with her–but then there are so many demands on one’s time when one devotes oneself to a life of crime.
That’s nothing! Frank Sinatra was a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king.
And he’s been “up and down and over and out”….I think maybe more down now than anything…same as our dear protagonist. He and Fauci have fame now. Showing yer age, Big D.
I did it my way.
Crump referred to the daughter as a “little baby”. We’ve heard that before. Why does “the community” insist on infantiliizing itself?
The Fist is at the corner of Baldwin and Pocan. That intersection is also “The Cone Of Silence.”
The worst success this crowd has had is in abstracting the concept of a ‘criminal.’ Corey Ruiz was a person who habitually HURT PEOPLE. That’s what a criminal is.
Madison, the only place in Wisconsin where all of this could happen.
