4. Scott playing Russian Roulette here

never play around here. WI..... like the Ho Chunk takeover years ago before it became this massive Casino. We were the last allowed to go thru by the cops. One group on one side of the highway and another from before the election on the other. Bats guns what have you on reservation land. You simply don't say there is no meeting smh

9. Menominee.....

da DOOO da doo doo



Oh yeah, and FUCK Scott Walker!

[dhill926]

10. surprised the asshole hasn't tried to have them arrested...

but whew…that would be some bad optics, eh? C'mon Scotty…you know you want to...

[murielm99]

11. Maybe he has to wait until they

start singing. He likes to arrest people who sing in the Capitol.

They can fight it out and decide whether or not it is Constitutional at a later date. That part might not get any publicity, but what the hey?

[riversedge]

12. It was shameful that Walker did not even speak with them face to face-even

just to acknowledge their concerns.

13. This

Is what democracy looks like. Thanks for posting.

14. But if the Kochs wanted to open a casino ...

.... they'd get the royal treatment, tax incentives and made-to-order blowjobs from Walker and his staff.

that idiot scott walker going down in flames the sooner the better.
