The rest of the story

Madison.com has raw video http://host.madison.com/video/page/?asset_id=68044401&genre_id=9077 (one minute twenty seconds) of Republican Senator Glenn Grothman being chased by protesters. I was there and also shot video of what occurred.

Madison.com however doesn't bother to show how it was resolved. That is that Democratic Representative Brett Hulsey along with marshalls were able to defuse the situation and have the protesters move back and form a corridor for Sen Grothman to leave.

Here is the rest of the story: (The Resolution of Sen Grothman Incident VIDEO posted up above)

Note: Here is a full 12 minutes of the whole incident from start to finish

1. I wasn't aware that there was a Sen Grothman Incident

I know that he called the demonstrators slobs, but I had not heard of anything else

3. Did they know

that they were called SLOBS when this was taking place?

4. I don't think so. I think that the msnbc interview was later in the evening

when it was darker outside.

The incident in the video looks like morning or afternoon.

5. The protestors are are no doubt exhausted, need a regular sit-down meal

and must be freezing cold.

The governor of Wisconsin is making a lot of enemies for himself. A recall will probably be very successful. The energy building among these protestors will become more focused on long-term success.

Many of the protestors will go back home, pay a lot more attention to politics and demand Progressive solutions.

These protests will not end when the protestors go home. The governor has bitten off a lot more than he or the Republican Party can chew.

Look at the history following the stock market crashes of 1893 and 1929. Same old. Same old.

We are just watching the beginning of the Progressive revival.

6. Anyone planning a Wisconsin vacation?

I know I won't be spending any of my union wages there.
