A vocal supporter of Gov. Scott Walker was arrested for disorderly conduct Friday during a rally for Democrat Tom Barrett that featured former President Bill Clinton.
During the morning rally at Pere Marquette Park in Milwaukee, the Walker supporter was holding a sign that read "Support Scott Walker NOT Union Thugs." In the middle of the crowd, he would put his sign in front of other signs supporting Barrett.
One Patch reader gives her take on the events:
"My husband and I were at the rally standing six feet from him 15 minutes before the rally began, during, and when he was arrested as the rally ended," she writes. "Even before the rally began he was screaming at people near him that held recall signs. Get out the vote volunteers flanked him to make sure he was safe even as he was screaming at people and acting as if he could hit people with his sign.
"An elderly woman asked him to have some manners so she could hear the speakers. He became more belligerent, and when the president took the stage, he became louder with non-stop yelling at people in his close proximity and at the president. You could not hear the president anymore as the guy was yelling at everyone around him and the president."
Milwaukee police ultimately intervened and cheers erupted from the crowd as police took him away. There were no injuries.
Anne E. Schwartz, spokeswoman Milwaukee Police Department, said it was the arrest at the rally.
This guy is a true hero, both for serving his country and defending his right for peaceful protest (watch the full 6 min video and see what happened before Patch edited the video). One can not watch and not see our hero marine was the one civil, in control and intelligent. The left has given us our new Joe the Plumber (who, in Ohio, was approached by Obama, and was not seeking the spot lite... Check the facts). Boy, I can't wait till Herr Keith and his merry men foam at the mouth over Joe the Plumber reference ( an aside, so much fun setting them off). Come on Herr take the bait So....let's recall Barrett and run our own hero marine for Mayor. Where do I sign the recall petition. Simper Fidelis
Randy, by your reply I gather that you have no respect for personal belongings and think that your hand belongs in the pockets of others.
@Progress2day @GovWalker field director refers to Walker as "my husband" in fundraising email (see P.S.) http://grab.by/dWTY” #recallwalker
CHARACTER matters MOST! Character matters when you are the president of the USA and you are a sociopath... There simply are not many people in America who would even attempt to defend the behavior of Nixon; I am pleased that you do, mainly because that ultimately says more about you than I care to know... I suspect you will be defending Moammar Walker when he is indicted too...
You are not realistic, but are an unthinking parrot of Walker. ........... Greg 5:03 pm on Saturday, June 2, 2012 I know about my voting options, but the fact is that the ACT10 reforms are working and the recall is holding back our economy. I am far from dismissive, more like realistic.
I'll defend Nixon and Walker to the grave, in the same way that I also defend Carter - with the facts instead of a personal judgment. Character is subjective and wholly within the eye of the beholder to determine. Meanwhile, facts are objective and only open to interpretation. It's much easier to engage in discussion with another about people we obviously both have never personally known, with facts as opposed to subjective analysis, isn't it? Cheers!
And the cop was totally over the line. Look for a lawsuit against MPS Recall Barrett. Elect our hero marine mayor. He makes me proud Simper Fidelis
Semper Fidalis !
CHARACTER is what you are down to your core and it forms the foundation for all that you do, every act that you take references back to your character… Defiance is a rather childish personality trait and it does suit you, however, it changes NOTHING! With folks like you, even the FACTS are subjective, thus making any meaningful dialog just plain useless and silly. Your verbiage is full of sound and fury, signifying absolutely NOTHING… You will respond to every post, compulsively driven to do so – you must have the last word. On policy, both Nixon and Kissinger, early in Nixon’s administration, agreed that the Vietnam War was not ‘Winnable’ in any conventional sense of the word, however, that did not stop them from making the calculation to bomb Cambodia, thus expanding the war, and this, while we were losing 1000 brave men a week! [Sociopath] Nixon knew the war was lost, knew he would lose his political base if he were to bring our troops home, so he escalated and set about with the strategy of Vietnamization - the South Vietnamese would stand up and we would stand down - and on the political side, the politics of polarization [See Moammmar Walker on the latter]. This was all calculated to keep Tricky Dick in power; although he won the election by the slimmest of margins, and show [falsely] that, we were making progress in Vietnam. There are many good reason(s) that Jimmy Hoffa and bin Laden are now sleeping with the fishes…
Who are you going to believe, we the men who put our boots on the ground or believe a Government that has lied to you since 1913? Voting for CFR and Bildeberg member Romney is the same as Soetoro/Obama! Are you with us veterans or with the Tyranny that brings you more slavery! If so, you and your son don't deserve the freedoms I have provided for you...Semper Fi!

Or, how about the so-called solidarity singers? After all, they're interfering with other's right to quiet enjoyment of their Capitol building!
Your association of James Riddle Hoffa and Bin Laden is completely without merit! Hoffa had more character in his pinky finger than all of the scumbag Kennedy's put together!
That's so WEAK!!!! You guys are obviously getting desperate and grasping at straws. What, the Zielinski lie machine couldn't come up with any good new whoppers about "boy rape" for you to perpetuate? Sad day for Wisconsin Dems! Proof that Barrett and the Dems are targeting the low information, non-thinking voter!
Doyle never did anything of the magnitude of Walker in outraging a vast constituency. And do not give me that gunk that the uber-right would never recall anyone for what Doyle may have done unless they were criminals, etc. You just could not have gotten any momentum behind recalling Doyle. Walker simply underestimated his opposition's resolve. This is one of the weaknesses of a sociopath. They get pumped up and overconfident, then they have a great fall. Want examples throughout history?
Ummm NO - we the taxpayers were VERY upset with what Doyle did! Because unlike liberals, new conservatives actually care about the legacy that we'll be leaving for our future generations. The difference is that we weren't cry babies about it. Our state senators didn't flee to IL. We didn't storm and trash the Capitol. We didn't call for boycotts. We didn't … fill in the blank. Instead, what we did do was calmly wait for the next election to vote our man in. That's the difference! Poor delusional Dirk has drank too much of the koolaid! While Dirk may be a lost cause, it's not too late for you! If you find yourself at all starting to think like Dirk, then call the Coping with Liberalism Help Line at 800-VOTE-WALKER!!!
Yuck, yuck, yuck! I am a liberal, and even I am not that gracious and accepting. I can believe the uber-right was not bright enough to think of a recall, or bright enough to know they never had a chance to even get the signatures, like when they tried with some of the Dem legislators recently.
