Man Arrested at Rally
Posted at June 1, 2012 at 3:00 pm by milwaukeepolice
Milwaukee Police
cited a protester at a rally at which former President Bill Clinton appeared
this morning at Pere
Marquette Park.
David B. Willoughby,
39, of West Allis,
was issued a municipal citation for disorderly conduct when he refused to
comply with Milwaukee Police orders to step back from his location where he was
waving a large wooden pole with a sign mounted on it. Given his proximity to
Mayor Tom Barrett and other dignitaries, officers believed he posed a threat
with the large sign and was asked to move back. He was told he was allowed to
protest, and the officer understood his right to protest, but he needed to move
from the line where the Mayor and other dignitaries were standing. He failed to
comply. He was arrested, issued a citation and was released.
Before the incident,
one of the rally organizers approached the police officer asking that Willoughby be removed as
he said the protester was an unwelcome guest. The officer informed the
organizer that Pere Marquette is a public park and that Willoughby had the right to be present there.
Additionally, the same officer ordered a man who was shouting at Willoughby before the
arrest in an extremely agitated fashion, to calm down and to walk away. The man
did.

This old man has probably worked hard all his life, but has

I hope he now takes the time to do his own research.

George F. Will: Wisconsin’s sandbox
socialists
By George Will / The Washington Post
Saturday, June 2, 2012
WAUWATOSA, Wis. -- This state, the first to let
government employees unionize, was an incubator of progressivism and gave birth
(in 1932 in Madison,
the precursor of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal
Employees) to its emblematic institution, the government employees union –
government organized as a special interest to lobby itself to expand itself.
But Wisconsin progressivism is in a dark Peter
Pan phase; it is childish without being winsome.
Wisconsin has produced populists of the left (Robert La Follette) and right (Joe
McCarthy). On Tuesday, in this year’s second-most important election, voters
will judge the attempt by a populism of the privileged – white-collar labor
unions whose members live comfortably above the American median – to recall Republican
Gov. Scott Walker.
In this Milwaukee suburb, a pro-Walker phone bank is
conducting mobilization, not persuasion. Is any voter undecided? For 16 months,
Wisconsin, normally a paragon of Midwestern
neighborliness, has been riven by furious attempts to punish Walker for keeping his campaign promise to
change the state’s unsustainable fiscal trajectory driven by the perquisites of
government employees. His progressive adversaries have, however, retreated from
their original pretext for attempting to overturn the election Walker won handily just 19 months ago.
He defeated Mayor Tom Barrett of Milwaukee. A recall is a
gubernatorial election, and the Democrats’ May primary was won by ... Barrett.
In 2010, government employees
unions campaigned against Walker’s “5 and 12” plan. It requires government
employees to contribute 5.8 percent of their pay to their pension plans. (Most
were paying less than 1 percent. Most private-sector workers have no pensions;
those who do pay, on average, much more than 5.8 percent.) Walker’s reform requires government employees
to pay 12.6 percent of their health care premiums (up from 6 percent but still
less than the 21 percent private-sector average). Defeated in 2010, the unions
now are demanding, as frustrated children do after losing a game, “Let’s start
over!”
Like children throwing a tantrum
against the rules of a game going badly, in 2011 petulant Wisconsin Democratic
legislators fled to Illinois
to disrupt the Legislature. Walker’s
reforms included restricting the issues subject to collective bargaining. This
emancipated school districts from buying teachers’ health insurance from a
provider entity associated with the teachers union. Barrett used Walker’s reform to save Milwaukee $19 million.
In justifying a raucous resistance
to, and then this recall of, Walker,
the government employees unions stressed his restriction of collective
bargaining rights. But in the May primary, these unions backed the candidate
trounced by Barrett, who is largely ignoring the collective bargaining issue,
perhaps partly because most worker protections are embedded in Wisconsin’s uniquely
strong civil service law. Besides, what really motivates the unions and elected
Democrats is that Walker
ended the automatic deduction of union dues from government employees’ pay. The
experience in Colorado, Indiana,
Utah and Washington state is that when dues become
voluntary, they become elusive.
So, Barrett is essentially
running another general election campaign, not unlike that of 2010 – except
that the $3.6 billion deficit Walker
inherited has disappeared and property taxes have declined. By re-posing the
2010 choice, Wisconsin progressives’ one-word platform becomes: “Mulligan!”
The emblem displayed at some
anti-Walker centers is an outline of Wisconsin
rendered as a clenched fist, with a red star on the heel of the hand. Walker’s
disproportionately middle-aged adversaries know the red star symbolized
murderous totalitarianism, yet they flaunt it as a progressive ornament. Why?
Because it satisfies the sandbox
socialists’ childish pleasure in naughtiness, as does their playground
name-calling (Walker is a “Midwest Mussolini”)
and infantile point-scoring: When the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel endorsed Walker, Wisconsin’s
Democratic Party chair fulminated that six decades ago the Sentinel (which
merged with the Journal in 1995) supported McCarthy.
Also, many backward-looking baby
boomers want to recapture their youthful fun of waving clenched fists in the
face of privilege. Now, embarrassingly, they are privileged.
A January poll found that even 17
percent of Democrats think recalls are justified only by criminal behavior, not
policy differences. If, however, Walker loses,
regular Wisconsin elections will henceforth
confer only evanescent legitimacy. If he wins, progressives will have
inadvertently demonstrated that entrenched privilege can be challenged, and
they will have squandered huge sums that cannot finance progressive causes
elsewhere. So, for a change, progressives will have served progress.
