In case you're thinking of going down to the Farmers' Market.
That's from "'My family needs justice': Relatives of Corey Ruiz speak out for first time since police shooting/Family members spoke at press event with civil rights attorney Ben Crump, who previously represented George Floyd's family" (WPR).
The Farmers' Market is a huge weekly event for ordinary Madisonians who are going about living their normal lives. Free speech is, of course, part of the much-loved tradition.
Here's the Market's Instagram message:

Buy the food… but arrive angry.
Must be a republican op, to remind the nation about the Summer of Floyd, right before the midterms.
According to one. Res source, Ruiz stabbed the policeman in the face and hands. Knife wounds to the hands are resumes ly defensive but a sound to the face is not accidental — if true, it is an attempt at murder.
Justice has already been done.
I hate farmers' markets -- these jokers are just reselling veggies they bought at Walmart. Why add a middleman? Plus blueberries are okay in a muffin or pancake even but they kind of suck for everything else.
It’s like a reception after a memorial service, only you have to buy the food.
…I’m opposed to the abandonment of rule of law. Is that a rare opinion for Madison?
I’m so glad I don’t live in Madison. How does one put up with the BS? Is there any pushback by ordinary Madisonians?
We're mourning with our community.
You're mourning a guy who stabbed a cop? Well, okay, then.

It's like they're franchising rage. (Coming soon to a community near you!)
Personally I never go to farmers markets to celebrate local food so much as to find local food to consume. None of the vendors appear to be celebrating produce either.
The Haile Plantation is the best local one for the Mrs and me currently. Yes it’s on exactly the type of property you think. But it’s a great early Saturday walk!
According to one news source …
'...How does one put up with the BS? Is there any pushback by ordinary Madisonians? ...'
When your institutions have been co-opted, ordinary citizens are shut out of those considerations, push-back or no. Look at the people trying to live in Seattle, and then take a look at Caracas. Because that's where these places are headed, if there's no course correction. As Remus said: Stay away from crowds.
The stage we're at right now is that people are course-correcting out of state to better, saner places, if they can. One of my neighboring families is from Washington state, they bought their home sight unseen.

well, i guess it's a lucky thing then, that y'all don't live in Minnesota; where they suspended free speach (for whites) this week.
Serious question: is it still legal in Wisconsin for white people to use the "N word" ?
i mean; i KNOW that free speach is BANNED here on the Professors site; and that ONLY APPROVED WORDS are allowed HERE..
but what about your state (and county (and city)) in general?
Free Shiloh
Ben Crump's operation reminds me of an old Gary Larson cartoon showing a door in a seedy office with a sign on it saying in large letters, "Duke's Detective Agency", and below it in tiny letters, "A subsidiary of Duke's Kidnapping Service".
I was not there. I did not see it. There's little reason to doubt the police account. but there were no body cams. Why not? Oh, the same leftists who insisted on body cams reversed 180° when that technology consistently justified police use of force in such situations.
Having lived in Dodgeville I know how badly infested with clueless leftists Madison has been for at least 30 years, and they always defend their petting zoo of dysfunctional creatures. It signals their empathy or something to their own crowd.
Out here in the real world, where we increasingly avoid inner cities and university towns, it's all rather straightforward -- don't attack LEOs doing their job. And if you're so pathologically stupid as to try to stab them, shoot, them, run over them with your car, and so on ... well Jeez! They might actually shoot you.
Ruiz was attempting burglary and theft. That's plenty enough probable cause for pursuit and arrest. He violently resisted arrest and was therefore a legitimate threat to the officers involved.
Had **I** been attacked in the same way, I would have had no obligation to retreat, and had he come at *me* with a knife, that's a lethal threat for which 3 rounds center-of-mass would be legally justified as legitimate self defense.
Our LEOs deserve no less, and we're better off with that guy being off the streets, rather than released on recognizance and later having all charges dismissed by some judge drowning in toxic empathy.
…yes I’d skip the veggies and put the house on the market…
I heard Ruiz's sister's statement. "Don't judge him by his lengthy criminal record."
Absurd.
That’s about as kiss ass as you can get.
I remember when it was the Singing Grannies and an occasional table with books or pamphlets.
I've been to that Farmer's Market.
With attorney Ben Crump now involved, expect escalation.
We’ve visited some of the farms and ranches that sell goods at the local Saturday market.
We discovered locally baked bread, Yukon Gold potatoes, honey sticks, and various other delights at the Farmer's Market. There are lots of farms in Dane, Green, Sauk and Lafayette Counties. Lots of good places for cheese as well.
You have to understand that Madisonians are highly evolved. They think on an entirely different plane, being as highly credentialed as they are. They understand the nuances that allow them to welcome the new colonialists (good) and forgive their minor transgressions (burglary, rape, murder, as well as trifling hit-and-runs) while they adjust to and replace the culture (and voting habits) of the old colonialists (bad, us).
I'm beginning to catch on to their thinking, so I'm working on the wording of the "land acknowledgement" I'd like them to use when they take over my property. You should work on yours too. Particularly if you happen to live in NYC.
"I’m so glad I don’t live in Madison. How does one put up with the BS? Is there any pushback by ordinary Madisonians?"
These are ordinary Madisonians. Forty square miles surrounded by reality.

Ruiz’s family doesn’t want “justice.” They want $$$
Time out from adulation of a black, alleged cop-stabbing felon to eat blueberries.
They ruin everything they touch.
Progressivism = change at any cost. So if you like something keep them away from it.
The healing power of "and:" you can both see the offender's death as a tragedy and hold the shooting justified.
It's a tragedy that a baby boy full of potential can reach the point where he lives off what he can swipe from unlocked cars, until he dies trying to stab police officers in a futile attempt to avoid one more trip to jail. And the copper, faced with this guy's violence, did nothing wrong shooting him.
And of course the copper did nothing over the past 20-some years that turned the baby boy into a knife-wielding car burglar. Give coppers a magic Despicable Me freeze ray that stops people in their tracks without lasting harm, and you'll still have knife-wielding car burglars. CC, JSM
"With attorney Ben Crump now involved, expect escalation."
I guess the Nolan Wells thing didn't pan out.
My guess is that every protestor is hoping Francesca Hong is the next Governor.
>"We will be open because we serve hundreds of SNAP customers each week..."<
Ah yes, the protective imprimatur of poor, "underserved" "people of color" -- the few who, you know, aren't down at the local grocery store buying soda, candy, and chips with their food stamps.
Hate to tell you, Dane County Farmers' Market, but the protestor scum will not be moved by your lefty-virtuous appeal.
Nourish youself = ugh!
Interesting choice of produce to foreground in that picture given the topic of the post.
Back The Blue(berries)
If I lived in Madison, I'd probably go there and mourn. And to get some watermelon.
There's nothing sader than the death of a knife-wielding black crook who resisted arrest. If only he could've been white. Then "our community" could've rested easier.
Seriously, I think its clever for the Farmer's Market to say what they did. And I'm sure plenty of people on SNAP like fresh produce. Not every poor person is drinking soda and cheetos.
I also found the it laughable that a city farmers market targeted to the top 10% of income earners is bragging about serving SNAP recipients to try and fend off attacks by their fellow leftists.

Justice has been started.
There are a great many traitors that still need to be dealt with.
I wonder how many liberal Madisonians (but I repeat myself) have decided to vote R in the next election.
Does the pretentiousness make the food taste better?
All of this over a guy who resisted arrest and stabbed a cop in front of a large group of people and caught on camera for the world to see.
"With attorney Ben Crump now involved, expect escalation."
Yeah, why can't HE learn to de-escalate for a change? CC, JSM

Exactly. The traitorous democrat fucks realized they didn't have any bloody shirts to wave if the police had cameras so the democrats in charge of Madison told police to stop using them.
Democrats are evil people who hate this country. Everything about the democrat party and their voters is a bad faith morally deranged cesspool of thieves and fascists.
They all belong in China with Hasan Piker and the other Mao worshippers. If they want a maoist government they should get it.
"Escalation" = Billable Hours.
Ben Crump is involved, which is all you need to know to know the shooting was justified.
Does this blog have a suicidal empathy tag?
"Big Mike said...

Dude, defensive wounds are indication of attempted murder too. Just as much as wounds to the face or other areas. What do you think the defense was for?
In this case I think they are less defensive and a result of trying to subdue Ruiz. But either way,
"Charlie said...

LIberals? Maybe a few. Lefty progs? Zero.
"Is there any pushback by ordinary Madisonians?"
Not sure what constitutes "ordinary Madisonians?" But watch the videos, these are NOT the more affluent locals who have jobs, own homes, take their kids to soccer practice. These are the miscreants...the socialists, unemployed, permanent welfare, criminal class. Socialists. They exist because although "ordinary Madisonians" don't give a shit about them, nor does the lefty political class, they do care greatly to be perceived to care about them.
“Not sure what constitutes "ordinary Madisonians?"
That would be Mayor Bill Dyke’s decent people. They fled long ago.
How touching. Go down and buy some delicious baked goods for your local police (don't tell the vendor who they are for) and drop them off at police stations to show them your support -- for them.
Justice? That family needs sterilization.
How was it on the Square? Did anyone go? Too far a drive for us.
@Curious George, kind of my point. You get defensive wounds from defending yourself.
“Go down and buy some delicious baked goods for your local police (don't tell the vendor who they are for) and drop them off at police stations to show them your support -- for them.”
Nah, don’t take them to the station, take them out directly to the cops who need them. It’s hard work just standing around watching a riot happen.
The Farmers’ Market is lucky that it’s midsummer and most of the students are out of town. The army of SJW virtue signalers would be a lot larger in the fall…unless it’s a football Saturday.
The Ruiz incident brought to mind that when wildlife biologists need to subdue a potentially dangerous animal, they do it from a safe distance with a tranquilizer dart. Don’t know why I thought of that, it’s nothing like this situation, of course.
Well, you don’t protest about the sweet victim you want, you protest about the violent criminal you’ve got.
“The Farmers' Market is a huge weekly event for ordinary Madisonians who are going about living their normal lives. Free speech is, of course, part of the much-loved tradition.”
Especially when it’s from a bullhorn at 130 dB.
The market will be open because they serve SNAP recipients? What about the hundreds of vendors who count on the market for a big part of their income. Or the thousands of non snap recipients who love and support the market every week. The market needs a new PR girl.
This Message From Our Sponsors amuses.
We’re open because those on food stamps rely on us. We’re now using the term “nourish” because we killed the word “cherish” through Woke consulting over use.
We’re “mourning” by hawking produce.
“A crucial distribution point of local food system.” A city of 250,000 with supermarkets. How many Madisonians starve because the Farmers Market is closed in the winter?
“Relatives of Corey Ruiz” fight to get appointed administrator in private court so they can cash in on a lawsuit.
Ben Crump arrives to exploit.
Madison will settle for $20 million because it’s a city run by and for cowards.
And anyone stupid enough to be a cop there deserves what he gets.
"Big Mike said...

Opposite of your point,
Probably the same sort of fraud they have in San Fransisco.
If I'm a cop, and I'm desperately trying to subdue some criminal asshole fleeing arrest by some means short of shooting him, and while I am engaged in that process the wildly struggling criminal motherf'er tries, successfully, to STAB ME WITH A KNIFE...
I'll leave it to our resident lefties to tell me what they would do in that situation, if they were the cop.
"I'll leave it to our resident lefties to tell me what they would do in that situation"
Probably make a land acknowledgement and proclaim "All are welcome here!"

Crump is a fucking retard.
Just like all of the other maoist redshirts that have no idea what they are doing.
They should all be sent to China so they can learn all about what they are doing.
Social justice anywhere is injustice everywhere is a hate crime.
The cop should have taken a knee, leaned into seppuku, and renounced his Diversity privilege. #HateLovesAbortion
"My family needs a payday" more like.
I was in Madison today on Johnson near State St..(a popular brunch place is very near). I drove in from the South (via 12/18) expecting "peaceful protests" if I were to drive in as normal via 151. It was a nothing-burger..thankfully.
The market for outrage is slim and diminishing IMO.
Walked to the Terrace today. A couple of acts...would be nice to have seen but had to drive home. (The HVAC trailers in the plaza near the Terrace are unfortunate...but...understandable. The air is thick and warm, and busted mains don't repair themselves.) Lots of un-raged people were enjoying the afternoon.
"The Dane County Farmers’ Market will still take place Saturday morning on the Capitol Square, though organizers say the market 'will look different.'"
When the vegetables go in they all look the same. When they come out, they all look, different.
That statement wears like a wet woke blanket of leftist virtue.

Pol Pot had the logistical solution to these creatures.
