Protesters in Wisconsin cause $7.5 million in damage to State House

[AllieBaba]

If it costs $350,000 to do the necessary repairs, I'd define that as major.

Hugely. To the Taxpayers...

that right there is a lie

NO ONE claimed any such thing

Do you not know what thread your in?

yes, i do

do YOU?
no one made the claims that it was JUST to clean up tape
get your head out of your ass and actually read what was posted

the only other damaged mentioned was non-existent bullet marks and, just in the last few pages, some damage to the grass

Actually, damage to the marble, and landscaping damage.

Nice dishonest post there, bud.

if you read the link in the OP, it doesnt say the only damage was tape
but that the total damage COULD cost $3.5 m to repair

WHO CARES, 7.5 million doesn't even come close to the damages done to this Country, which is in the TRILLIONS!!!!

The 'damage to the marble' mentioned in the article is discoloration/stains caused by the adhesive from the tape used to hold up signs

Did you even read the article?

 

[Wicked Jester]

So you don't care about what's true? Typical partisan idiocy.

The truth is that there is substantial damage.

Typical partisan idiocy to pretend that's not the issue.

Define "substantial damage". Some bullets lying around and tape marks...Big whoop.

Yeah, and all that trash lying in and around your single wide is just "big whoop." eh, slob?

What they have claimed is tape marks on marble. Someone needs to show that costs $350 k let alone $7.5 million

They got caught in a major lie and are now trying to pad whatever charges they can

"But....but...they ignored "Keep off the grass" signs"

Did you even read the article?

Yes, a couple of times.

So in this case, damage to the marble isn't REAL damage because ... run that by me again?

This is like when I ask my kids if they have homework and they say, "No, just spelling".

Er..spelling is homework.

That's not what the OP said. It said there were an estimated $7.5 million in damages to 40 types of marble. Some estimate

And when your kids put tape on the wall, do you tell them it's going to cost $7.5 million to clean it?

So what?.......It's being revised. Are you still going to defend your fellow lunatics for trashing the fucking place?

One thing this thread is proving, is that you people are a bunch o' disrespectful lil' morons.

This thread is the poster child for logical fallacy.

This thread, and pretty much any thread that the left starts...

Tape is "trashing"????

I define tape on a marble surface as trivial

Tape is "trashing"????

Which is why I suggest they clean it up and be done with it.

 

[AllieBaba]

It's not trivial if it costs hundreds of thousands to clean it up.

Nor is it trivial if it stains....

When all is said and done, my guess is the cost will be maybe $20 bucks for some kind of solvent and a couple of hundred bucks to pay some local kids to scrub the goo off... oh, wait, the janitors union won't allow non-union kids to do the work, make that about $30,000 in janitors fees and 20 bucks in solvent.

Lol....that seems to be the flap. The damage isn't great, but if Union workers are going to clean it up, the sky's the limit as to what it will cost...

Check out this link...some funny, funny comments. Particularly the bids on cleaning it up:
