Teh Rioter's Veto.
Losing plenty of money over nothing. What are they upset about? The guy pulled a knife on a cop. If he was alive today, he’d be stealing at the Atwood Festival.
AtwoodFest cancelled because Canadians confused Margaret Atwood with Alice Munro.
What can one say, except….the future is conservative.
"Losing plenty of money over nothing."
Atwoodfest is a fundraiser for non-profit services, community grants, and neighborhood projects in the Schenk-Atwood-Starkweather-Yahara neighborhood.
Admission is free, but money is raised by selling beer and some other things.
I think a lot of people around here feel that they should not be seen in public enjoying themselves. I saw a video posted on X that showed protesters loudly lecturing people who were sitting at the sidewalk tables outside a bar on State Street and the caption drew attention to one man who was just looking downward and looking slightly glum, as drinkers often do. The poster concluded this man was MAGA (i.e., subhuman). It was just a guy saying nothing, expressing NOTHING, sitting at a table. You can't do that anymore.

So...they could have opened the festival this year with a land acknowledgement and then immediately canceled it with an 'Up the Criminals!" acknowledgement.
So many things to acknowledge except for the criminal activities of so many of them. You cannot acknowledge that.
Those types are always the usual suspects looking for something - anything - to put a bull horn in your face and lecture you and everyone in your vicinity on how you should think-behave-feel. They live for that shit. Douche bags the lot of them.
Madison is trying to resurrect the BLM summer of 2020 and Defund the Police. Please God, defund the police in Madison, WI and give these people what they want and deserve.
Activist took over a Police press conference yesterday. Cop just stood back and said / did nothing. They are also saying "no peace" unless the cop is charged with murder.
What a piece of shit town. I really don't care what happens in Madison, WI... but being the center of State Gov't and UW, it kind of wrecks things for the sane parts of this beautiful state.
Know what else was cancelled? Headline from Drudge just now: ๐๐ฆ๐ณ๐ญ๐ช๐ฏ ๐๐ณ๐ช๐ฅ๐ฆ ๐ฑ๐ข๐ณ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฆ ๐ค๐ข๐ญ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ฅ ๐ฐ๐ง๐ง ๐ข๐ง๐ต๐ฆ๐ณ ๐ท๐ข๐ฏ ๐ฉ๐ช๐ต๐ด ๐ค๐ณ๐ฐ๐ธ๐ฅ๐ด... What was the purpose of the Islamist terrorist attack on the gay pride celebration? Why- to cancel it! And- they were rewarded for their behavior!
And the people of the community- according to their self appointed spokesman- are in JUSTIFIED ANGER over the incident. ๐๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐๐ข๐๐! Wow. How exactly is it justified? Are they angry at the miscreant for attacking with a knife? Or are they angry at the police for defending themselves using ๐๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐๐ข๐๐! deadly force? Basic rule is- you don't necessarily get to choose how a deadly force encounter you started ends. Others have a say in the matter.
Communist leftists are getting their martyrs, however unjustified their martyrdom is. Saint George Floyd of Fentanyl wasn't first, and as we see here, not the last.
And the islamists? Being rewarded for their behavior, ensuring we'll get more such attacks, the deadlier the better in their worldview. And the vast majority of moderate muslims will view their fellow religionists who die or are arrested as martyrs to the cause.
"The poster concluded this man was MAGA (i.e., subhuman). It was just a guy saying nothing, expressing NOTHING, sitting at a table. You can't do that anymore." - you would have to be and idiot to think some guy sitting outside a bar in Madison is MAGA. It's like assuming there are moderates in Madison.
I wish every cop in Madison would quit, or they would collectively go on strike. It wouldn't take long for uppity, white Madison liberals to beg for their return.
The worst part about this is if Cory Ruiz was successful in stabbing and killing one of the officers, nobody in Madison would care. There wouldn't be protests. Nothing would be cancelled. Why on earth would anyone want to be a cop in Madison, WI??
Bands all got paid, vendors getting their fee refunded.
That was a pleasant surprise to hear.
So instead of making money for the local nonprofit community SASY decides these nonprofits can do without their help for a year. Got it.
There are a lot of videos and opinions floating around on X. Interesting from a retired WI cop and use of force instructor. "Officers are not required to attempt hands on control of an armed person when doing so represents and unreasonable risk of death or great bodily harm. One an officer is reportedly cut with a knife, the threat is no longer theoretical."
And the entire "holier and smarter than thou" community of Madison just wipes this away as if it bears zero weight, when it is actually the full crux of the matter.
"Vendors getting their fee refunded."
All good, then. Vendors don't lose anything when they have geared up for a weekend music festival and the communists cancel it at the last minute.
Sounds diverse. And vibrant.
“…expressing NOTHING…. you can’t do that any more.”
AS:
“At the conclusion of the conference, a tribute to Comrade Stalin was called for. Of course, everyone stood up (just as everyone had leaped to his feet during the conference at every mention of his name). The stormy applause, rising to an ovation, continued for three minutes, four minutes, five minutes… But palms were getting sore and raised arms were already aching. And the older people were panting from exhaustion. It was becoming insufferably silly even to those who really adored Stalin. However, who would dare be the first to stop?…
“ And in that obscure, small hall, unknown to the Leader, the applause went on—six, seven, eight minutes! They were done for! Their goose was cooked! They couldn’t stop now till they collapsed with heart attacks! At the rear of the hall, which was crowded, they could of course cheat a bit, clap less frequently, less vigorously, not so eagerly… Nine minutes! Ten! … Insanity! To the last man! With make-believe enthusiasm on their faces, looking at each other with faint hope, the district leaders were just going to go on and on applauding till they fell where they stood, till they were carried out of the hall on stretchers!”
The same mindset and spirit.
Silly me. I've always assumed that if I ever stab someone with a knife in the presence of a policeman, I will be shot dead, even if it's not the policeman I'm stabbing. How does anyone not know that that is what will happen, and should happen?
"I wish every cop in Madison would quit, or they would collectively go on strike."
They should ignore whatever it is The Diversity (if any) in Madison is doing and focus on issuing traffic tickets to AWFLs who don't come to a complete stop or drive 3MPH over the speed limit.
Boatbuilder: don't many food vendors lay in frozen sausages and other nonrefundable food and non-food purchases long before an event? I know we did at church festivals. They also may have turned down other gigs. Maybe Madison would consider these small businesspeople's plight and set up some other way for them to not lose what may be substantial income.
Its not justified anger. It’s clearly unjustified virtue signaling
"Schenk-Atwood-Starkweather-Yahara' is a new comet which will disappoint everyone (cf. Tago-Sato-Kosaka, Ikeya-Seki, Hale-Bopp, etc.) except people who know what a dark sky is.
boatbuilder, a number of other events (farmers market, etc) have opened up space and there is a very active campaign to support all the vendors (food or otherwise) who depend on this revenue to supprt their business.
But of course you don't care to see if this is the case.
Stupid democrats. And even weaker citizens. They will be easy for the communists to round up.
Mason G: Brilliant. Gets my vote.
I would have played that festival! I would have covered "Been Caught Stealing" by Jane's Addiction, "I Fought the Law (and the Law Won)" by The Clash, anyone have more?
Bands and vendors got paid...
Of course they got paid with other people's money.
My apologies for the big blank space. I understand that's a no-no. I don't know how that happened.

Often when a killing like this one happens, I hear remarks like "He was just using his Second Amendment rights! Which YOU support, right?"
To which I always respond that the Second supports an armed citizenry BECAUSE the presumption is that deadly force will be involved. You WILL get shot at; that's WHY you have your own gun. They are not for decoration. They are not a "statement", and if you don't understand that then you should not own one.
So the do-gooders cancelled a do-gooder festival aimed at raising funds for charitable causes, eh? And are feeling mighty chuffed right now, having accomplished...... what? Is there now a sense of victory at having successfully stopped charity? Or are they angry because 'events' have once again 'forced' them to act out of conscience and injure themselves? Yet again?
Are the cops mad enough now, to stand by and watch crime happen? Or are they still intimidated, whereby they stand by and watch crime happen, but only if it's by the 'right' people, against the 'right' victims?
When they finally get mad enough, there's going to be some fun, boy.

"But of course you don't care to see if this is the case."
Nope. The commies shut it down by illegally blocking the streets, causing massive inconvenience to many thousands of people and obviously substantial losses to vendors who had prepared for the festival. The fact that some people (not those who caused the problem) tried to mitigate the damage somewhat through charity, instead of having the guts to tell the commies to get the hell out of the way, doesn't make everything all right.
"Justified anger" is Rev. Alex Gee's catchphrase. He spoke at our church, years ago, when we lived there, and it was a good sermon about how as Christians we're 'specimens' of what kingdom living should be. But since then, the message is more about how everything White people do is racially motivated. A friend who was working as a counselor at Rev. Gee's church had to bail because no discussions could be had other than how Whites are oppressing minorities.

A rank and file strike would be lots more effective. AWFLs a would be annoyed, and meanwhile the bad actors would keep the bad actions going.

“They are like children who sit in the market place and call to one another, and they say, ‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not weep.'
Mark, why lash out at Boatbuilder? He obviously knows more about the situation than you do. Now the vendors have lost all the sales, likely most food product, and the labor they have already committed. Their employees lose work-hours. It was a stupid choice unsurprisingly made by elite "charity" board members who didn't even consider the income they were snatching away from working-class people who signed legal contracts with them. Board members are fiscally responsible for the board's actions. If I were a vendor, I'd be seeing a lawyer right about tomorrow at 9a.m.

"The Democratic Party is so short on cash that leaders at its headquarters have undertaken a new gambit to mask the severity of the problems: asking vendors not to send bills until after the midterm elections...."
Hardly a new gambit to anyone acquainted with Wellington J. Wimpy.
“ Atwoodfest is a fundraiser for non-profit services, community grants, and neighborhood projects in the Schenk-Atwood-Starkweather-Yahara neighborhood.
Admission is free, but money is raised by selling beer and some other things.”
But selling beer in Madison is like selling dildoes at a leper colony, a fundraising fortune. I bet that at least 0.6 needy people will die due to lack of this fundraising. Just like Elon and USAID.
I am not sure what VO5 really was, but i guess that it was an improvement on VO4.
Meanwhile in Gulf Shores, we’re slammed with thousands and thousands happy smart people fishing (This week has been as good as I’ve seen) and drinkin, and strolling the beach. We good. Fuck that commie bullshit. Who lives around that? Who all was that?

The citizens of Madison put up with this bullshit. Start taking away the bullhorns and slapping these losers.
The cops will appreciate it.
No body cameras? LOL
"Madison, Wisconsin, is widely recognized as one of the most politically progressive cities in the United States. While the 20 seats on the Madison Common Council are technically nonpartisan, the body is entirely dominated by mainstream liberals, progressives, and democratic socialists. There is virtually no conservative or right-leaning representation on the council"
"I wish every cop in Madison would quit, or they would collectively go on strike."
As far as I can see, they have. They don’t seem to be doing shit about mob rule taking over their town.
I wonder how many weekends a year those vendors can work?
Even if they get their fees back it is a weekend out of their earning opportunity
Who pays for that?
A guy attacks police with a knife and (quite properly as far as I can see) gets shot and killed and everybody else has to suffer?
Screw these people.

"Even if they get their fees back it is a weekend out of their earning opportunity"

Quayle,
A footnote to your comment about clapping, also from Solzhenitsyn I think.
Stalin's speeches used to be recorded and offered on record albums. For the youngsters here, a "record album" used to be a physical album with 4-6-8 or so sleeves each holding a 78RPM record.
the applause used to be recorded and the speech albums would have 1 or more discs of nothing but applause.
Death of Stalin" with Steve Buscemi, Michael Palin, Hank Kingsly, Jason Isaacs and others is a funny but chilling movie. I recommend it.

I don't know what the contract looks like, but I know the costs involved for even a small-town fair. You're talking about losing between 50 -100K for each big food truck at least. And yet, these people just get by. They need to maintain, gas up, transport, and store their food trucks. Inspections and insurance are brutal. Food must be acquired weeks earlier, can't be returned, and they need walk-ins or industrial freezers for them. Employees must be vetted and paid.
If the good people of Madison are actually good, they will swarm the city council, insist the roads be cleared of protesters, demand the State Guard if necessary, and honor their commitments. Also inform every charity that they get no more donations until they purge the dolts who did this from their boards and bring in some new members with economic diversity and common sense. Reward those who do. Oh, and demand that all violent protesters be expelled from university.
There are ways to fight back.
https://socialistworker.org/2013/10/31/most-racist-city-in-the-us
MADISON, WIS., has a reputation as one of the most liberal cities in the country. It is also possibly the most racially unequal.
In early October, Race to Equity--a Madison-based initiative started by the Wisconsin Council on Children and Families--released a report detailing racial disparities in Madison, and more broadly in Dane County, Wis. The findings are staggering.
The Race to Equity researchers expected the numbers compiled for racial disparities in Dane County to be similar or slightly better than the national averages. After all, Madison has long prided itself on having quality public education, good jobs, access to health care and human services programs, a relatively high standard of living and, in general, a progressive outlook on social, economic and political questions.
But while living standards for the white population in Dane County are higher than the national average, for the Black population, the opposite is true. On every indicator, with only two exceptions out of 40 measures, statistics collected in Dane County demonstrated equal or higher racial disparities between whites and Blacks than the national averages.

"AtwoodFest's core values have always centered on building community, using each festival's proceeds to support the groups doing important work right here in our neighborhood. "
I guess it wasn't that important.
Larger blue cities have a shooting every few hours. Maybe that's why the governments there can't get anything done. They are just constantly in mourning.
I never heard of him or his song. Must have been big on NPR.
I think they mean criminal involved shooting.
Madison elites: "Heyyy vendors ... You fucked up. You trusted us."
"If the good people of Madison are actually good, they will swarm the city council, insist the roads be cleared of protesters, demand the State Guard if necessary, and honor their commitments."
I agree with you.
I also would imagine it would be a pretty dangerous thing to do, for the sake of both person and property. The Madison Brownshirts would love to make an example of you.

'...They should ignore whatever it is The Diversity (if any) in Madison is doing and focus on issuing traffic tickets to AWFLs who don't come to a complete stop or drive 3MPH over the speed limit. ...'
The unfortunate truth is that the police always report to the Mayor. And the Mayor takes instructions from the community, especially the entitled rich but also the entitlement Super User poor, who are good at kicking back, for insurance.
You might recall a few years ago in MN, when the great rallying cries of 'Defund' and 'Nobody is Illegal' arose. Homeless encampments suddenly started to appear in some of the nicely-landscaped residential park areas, to the initial delight of nearby 'In This House...' residents. At least, until the attendant problems started to manifest, poop in the bushes, trashed out restrooms, syringes, assaults, robberies, home burglaries by druggies, etc. Then the Mayor got the calls and the riff raff were sent packing, pronto.
What you suggest would only work if the police were so fed up, they told the Mayor to f*ck off, f*ck straight off. Then there might be some change.
If you want to see real change, hire some scary, hardened criminals, and give them a ton of money based on results - in a way that is deniable. You'll see some changes then, I bet.
So, a stupid violent career criminal gets himself killed and everyone else has to suffer for it?
The left believes in honoring their heroes and role models.
The SASY neighborhood is ground zero for Francesca Hong support. I'll be curious to see how this affects the election in 2 weeks.
Meanwhile, all the businesses in that street, like Lazy Janes and St Vinnies, cannot operate, cannot pay their workers. And we had an email from Alder Green asking for donations to maintain the blockade. I'm glad I don't own a business in Madison.
"Justified anger"? Because what happened was blocks away. I wager they don't care about the actual facts of the incident that happened blocks away. Much easier just be angry, and to feign sadness by cancelling your "community" music program.
Many a local political position and a wad of donated cash has been garnered by just such incidents. Facts* be damned.
* Likely a hallmark of white supremacy.

0.6??? Oh no, thousands d thousands de will DIEwjthkut these funds.
You get what you vote for, Madison. Good and hard. Stop asking small businesspeople to feel your stupid shame and be destroyed. They don't get government pensions.
Folk singers are always big lefties. They're always mad because they have so much talent, but the money always goes to commercial hacks.
