More Ludicrous Arrests in Wis. State Assembly Gallery Thurs. Night
The Progressive
By Matthew Rothschild, November 4, 2011

Several more people were arrested Thursday night in the Wisconsin State Assembly gallery as they challenged the prohibition against silently holding signs.

"Tonight alone people have been arrested for holding pictures of an apple pie, Ronald Reagan, Jesus, the American flag, Mother Theresa, and a 12 year old little girl had her notebook taken away with flower doodles,” said Democratic state assembly member Mark Pocan, who has rallied his party against the free speech restrictions.

Here is the account of what happened to that 12-year-old girl, from her father, Joe Vittie, who posted the following on Facebook.

Parents please take note: Do NOT allow your child to fall into the horrific habits that I am about to recount.

Wait! Why was a 12 year old at the Wisconsin Assembly on a school night? Politicians, lobbyists, radicals. That might not be the best environment for a developing child.

1. yet weapons are ok. What would happen if a group of people

showed up armed. Not with guns but other weapons - baseball bats, bow and arrow, spears etc. I wonder if the second amendment only applies to guns. Yes, I know it's a silly idea but it might be fun.

3. We've spent hours and hours

playing with our "silly ideas" to further test the boundaries and demonstrate how arbitrary the "rules" and enforcement are.
