Union Leaders Aim for Mob Rule

The Wisconsin Republican Party has this interesting and imaginative story up on their website. As a member of the "mob" I will expound on the horrors of this "security threat" that has "shut down democracy".
Last night I received training in nonviolent protesting from some people experience with nonviolent demonstrations. We learned to have an affinity group, have a plan, know our rights, etc. I also listened to people testify against the Budget repair bill. In other parts of the capitol there was a drumming circle, a sing-a-long, pizza, and sign making. Everyone knows that drums can be used as weapons. We can't ban them outright, because of the 2nd amendment, but they explain the extensive police presence.
The police, which have been summoned to control the mob of graduate student TA's, teachers, and students are not very busy; They patrol the halls ensuring that the demonstrators do not block walkways with their sleeping bags and yoga mats, but have made only 9 arrests in 6 days. This is because even though the police are specifically exempted from this union-busting bill, some suspect that their own collective bargaining rights will be next on the chopping block. Hence the general reluctance to arrest the protestors for such crimes as public drumming, chanting and singing Woody Guthrie songs.
On a more serious note, these protests have been threatening the Governor. There have been personal attacks; I saw several signs encouraging the crowd to "stop the imperial walker", One featuring the Wizard Gandolf read "you shall not pass"-indicating that like Gandolf, Walker would eventually fall down a pit with a giant fire monster. One particularly disturbing sign read "beam Scotty up" which indicates that an extraterrestrial threat may be involved.
This is definately a problem. I fully understand why those 14 democrats ran away from these protestors.
