During Walker's "special" jobs session in the Assembly people continue to be arrested for arbitrary Assembly gallery rules. Last time it was for filming in the gallery, this time it's for silently holding small signs.

Thanks for being there, filming this, and uploading it. The whole world is watching. For starters, the people who were removed should sue.

Good on em! These guys are finally seeing how unfairly the people are being treated by the police and its giving occupy wall street sympathy and probably votes, keep it up fellas!

Appalling

Should have handed the cops a print out of the first ammendment.

if they were disruptive and shouting, sure remove them, but sitting there silently with signs harms no one; except the people who cant handle differing opinions than their own..

This makes me sick to my stomach. What has happened to my country? I do not recognize it. This is fascism. That banging sound you hear from Occupy Wall St. is for good reason. We can't stop until we slam this country back to where it belongs, no matter how long it takes. Enough!

To the person who said "when the f*** is america going to fight back???"

The answer is NOW!! That's what we're about!

keslehrongo said "land of the free no more"

You're right there! We are oppressed and turning into a third world country! Have you seen the protests THEY have??

You also said "You can almost see Gov. Walker reading "Mein Kampf" in the background. He has to get his ideas somewhere. Certainly wasn't the founding fathers. -

The Repubs are not in control either - ALEC is!!!

Civil war seems to be the only answer left.

Wisconsin is the new Texas. Sorry, but the mentality in that state disgusts me - I am a freelancer and have worked for a Milwaukee based company (in the arts, no less) and they are truly automatons and about as phony as the Stepford robots that work at Chic-Fil-A. That state legislature is over run by fascists and they are inherently NON-American

America fear mongers about fake communism & ignore real fascism. These arrests are disgraceful.

Call this number (Sergeant of Arms) and ask who gave the go ahead to escort and detain and/or arrest these folks: 608-266-3387. This is the number to the Assembly office--where these detainments supposedly occurred. I think it would also be helpful to know the woman who was reading the woman's shirt--I assume to make sure it conformed with her version of the Federal and State Constitutional Right of Expression/Speech. WTF PEOPLE?! WE SHOULD BE SCARED!
