Tempt fate often enough...

University of Wisconsin law professor, blogger and bon vivant Ann Althouse was attacked while filming a protest in Madison. The cops, as usual, were worthless, useless, and fat. Althouse needs to have about three or four six-foot plus tall friends to accompany her on her capitol grounds patrols to watch her back. These bullying types are totally willing to use violence to silence their critics. The attack is on video on her blog. Althouse has been fearlessly covering the whole semi-permanent protest/mob/demonstration scene at the Wisconsin state capitol that has been going on since January. It was bound to happen. Just sayin'.

Sounds like that is exactly what they are doing.
