Wisconsin is absolutely beautiful in late October and this is a great weekend to visit the State. This year's long Halloween weekend has arrived, and after rioting the last three years at bar time, Madison has deployed a paramilitary looking force on State Street. The city is actively trying to dissuade out of town revelers, but as Jib points out, telling young adults not to do something has the potential to backfire. Still, Mayor Dave is running his version of the nanny state and like all good socialist governments, Cieslewicz is promising ample room in Jail.
Tonight on the local news, an official Madison Police Department spokesperson says with a straight face that there are limits to how many people they will be able to incarcerate, because “it takes a certain level of cooperation to book somebody”. Apparently the police expect a person to be able to stand up for their mug shot, and absent that baseline ability of the apprehended, the police imply their hands are tied.
