64. Grothman thought he was about to die on the WI capitol lawn in Feb 2011

Fri Jul 12, 2024, 03:14 PM

Jul 2024

back in the massive anti-tyranny protests and calls for Walker's impeachment. He was SO dumb that he walked among the protestors telling them they were wrong to protest.

I was only a couple of dozen feet from him when after being surrounded on the west side of the capitol building by hundreds of angry protestors and hiding in a window well, he literally wet his pants in fear.

One of the Dem WI Senators intervened on his behalf, urged the crowd back away from him so he could escape unharmed. Probably saved Grothman's life.
