Wisconsin ~ Were Still Here!

Well, it’s been a quiet couple of days in Madison. Arrests in Wisconsin’s Capitol are hum drum right now. Not even worth calling mom about.
A conversation in Madison circa August 2013 might include all of these questions:
‘Hey who got arrested for singing today? When was your court date? Want some extra zucchini?’
OK, I am kidding (sort of). Sometimes things bank shot off the right area of my brain and I’m enraged. But some days that just doesn’t happen. Events that happen every day become normalized. That’s survival.
I was present for this entire sing along.
Cops came out late and then arrested slowly. I heard they only rounded up about 10 people [no press coverage with official numbers from Stephanie Marquis of DOA was forthcoming]. Maybe they were short-staffed? There is a facebook rumor that the cops went on a sick-out Wednesday. I estimate that 300 people were present.
Notable arrests:
Emily who sat down and was moved around using what’s called ‘pain compliance’ (they bend your wrists the wrong way, for example).
