| Ann Althouse Attacked at Wisconsin State Capitol |
| 2011-08-13 |
| An acquaintance of mine (who some of you may be familiar with) was attacked at the Wisconsin State Capitol yesterday by leftists. She apparently was pointed out by a union leader to one of their goons while she was videotaping the daily union 'festivities'. She and her husband have most of the attack on video (he was filming separately). I haven't talked to her, but it appears she's okay. Her son received a small cut on his arm as he tried to help her. Yes, the police are involved. Unfortunately, in Madison, they'll usually side with the 'oppressed class'. A*holes |

| #4 You'd have a point Bigjim, if ALTHOUSE was doing anything but video-taping. The argument was between a Preacher debating a protester saying "Jesus would be on our side against Walker". A 2nd person came up, swore at them, and then tried to rip the camera out of Althouse hands. Her son defended her and ended up getting cut enough to bleed. The police threatened Althouse son with arrest even though he just moved to defend his mother. They didn't go in there with Scott Walker signs and t-shirts yelling "Down with Unions!" ya know. The video clearly shows what happened. |

| #3 That's why you usually counter-protest from the other side of the street. But go ahead and wade off into a huge protesting crowd and start pissing them off if you want to. I really don't care. If that was me in the middle of 20,000 NAACP members, I doubt the cops would even show up to collect my body. |
