"The group arrived for a final time at the Capitol Square after 9 p.m., when participants announced their intentions to violate Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway's 9:30 p.m. curfew order. A final lap of the Square was interrupted when protesters confronted police officers on South Pinckney Street, quickly followed by officers from behind the marchers firing tear gas. Reinforcements arrived in riot gear. What followed was a series of standoffs that included police officers and National Guard soldiers. Reporters observed young teenage boys break windows with rocks at an office building on East Mifflin Street. Some protesters eventually turned up Wisconsin Avenue after police and National Guard members blocked Mifflin Street, using pepper spray and tear gas as they advanced on the protesters, many of whom were kneeling down in front of the line of officers."
The Capital Times offers a carefully written account of the protesting and rioting in Madison yesterday.

Show me a black rioter and I'll show you a well funded white kid dropping off free bricks in a stolen car.
Carefully written.
We certainly wouldn’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings.
Its like tear gas and rubber bullets inflame tensions and cause the situation to escalate significantly.
Seems like the police fail to see how their playbook does not work they think it will.
Have failure? Keep trying the same strategy just to see how big a fail we can achieve
The IQ riots.
Maybe it's like sarcasm. Something is wrong and you have to figure out what it is, because it's not clear to the protester.
Anarchy done right.
1. Whatever happened with that Tony Robinson case?
2. Many, many arrests in Omaha last night. No numbers yet, but there was s one hour wait at booking.
3. Any arrests in Madison?
"The Capital Times offers a carefully written account of the protesting and rioting in Madison yesterday."
So carefully written that one is 'eager to get the real facts on who's doing what.'
Unless you already suspect what they are trying to elide.
Which is that the newspaper is desperately trying to cover for the violence-causing white supremacists.
If you refuse to believe option one then you are stuck with option two.
I am Laslo.
Did they have port-a-potties?
Sounds like the police started the violence, doesn't it?
We don't need no stinking badgers
We don't need no crowd control
We just need to make a rumpus
Then we'll crawl back in our hole.
I don't know how close this is to you but I hope you and meade are armed.
If they come to your street, don't expext the police to do anything.
John Henry
All those white guys in Hawaiian shirts. The horror!
You know, it’s almost like the institutions intended to preserve civic order do not believe in civic order, while the institutions dedicated to providing information do not believe in providing information.
If you look at the French Revolution and the Bolshevik Revolution you see the same thing. See Dostoyevsky’s Demons (also known as The Possessed) for a full, fictional explication. There is an excellent Wikipedia article about Demons that gets to the gist.
Hey, the paper goes so far as to say "protesters confronted police." Around here, the Washington Post never affords that level of agency. When protestors attack police, the Post says only that "clashes began."
The extreme left has about two nights of this bullshit left before they discover the Silent Majority is a real thing.
Carefully written.
"more State Street businesses had their front windows broken out by the end of the night."
"rioting and looting on State Street broke out Saturday evening, storefronts smashed and police vehicles damaged."
And this one was better than most I have read. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel is passive when describing the riots, but active when describing the response.
The permits should be approved for 11am until 2pm.
Heat of the day.
After 2pm arrests for loitering.
One warning.
OWH this AM, "Law enforcement gave multiple warnings to the downtown crowd Sunday night to disperse before slowly advancing on them in a line and eventually deploying tear gas and flash canisters. The curfew went into effect at 8 p.m., and the Old Market crowd had largely scattered by 10:30 p.m."
How does anarchy and riot play with the over 60 set?
Now that Democratic-aligned voters like Althouse have the tiger by the tail, what is the strategy?
"announced their intentions to violate Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway's 9:30 p.m. curfew order"
But did they at least engage in social distancing?
"Carefully written," is that a euphemism that merits an Althouse post?
I urge the police to take off their badges and lay down their guns. Only then will there be peace.
"The Capital Times offers a carefully written account of the protesting and rioting in Madison yesterday."
By Scott Girard the local k-12 education reporter at the Cap Times. WTH?
Looking at brother Scott's picture and the assignment he was given I'd say he fits well into a class of persons we used to call the "bomb squad."
