The Face of the Protest

Yesterday our Governor here in Madison, Wisconsin, was recorded saying that he considered bringing in paid agitators to stir up trouble at the peaceful protest rallies that were occurring. He did not indicate that it was wrong to do so, merely that he did not think it would work.

Ponder that.

Today I offer you a look at the face of the protest. These are the people that Governor Scott Walker thought it would be OK to put at risk by bringing in paid thugs (if only it would work).

91, and looking to kick Walker's butt.

Our Governor considered introducing thugs into this crowd to stir up trouble. He did not decide against it because it was immoral or unethical, but rather, that the wrong political message would be sent ("My only fear would be if there's a ruckus caused is that would scare the public into thinking maybe the governor has to settle to avoid all these problems.").

What a Prince, eh?

UPDATE: Forgot to include the link to the rest of the photos in the SLIDE SHOW.
