Not long before the crowd of 100 protesters stormed the building (or was let in by the police), Meade got through the line and into the building. I've edited the video he shot, which shows the conditions of the hallways and even a men's room — and everything looks quite clean and undamaged. In the rotunda, the protesters have formed a circle and are discussing what they will do ...
Apparently protesters have been ordered off the grounds.
But here's the report from the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, "Demonstrators Suddenly Enter Capitol" (via Gateway Pundit and Memeorandum):
A group of perhaps one hundred protesters has entered the previously restricted and quiet Capitol and is now chanting, “Our house, our house.”
David Noyce of Madison said that he entered the building with the demonstrators after someone let them in and that a policeman flashed him a thumbs up as he entered. The protesters entered just as Gov. Scott Walker was about to start a news conference in a separate room of the building.
“It’s about time,” Noyce said, when told that a Dane County judge would be issuing an order to open the Capitol.
The protesters have been stopped by phalanx of police on the ground floor of the west wing and prevented from reaching the rotunda and joining the separate group of protesters who have been spending the night in the Capitol.
I bet there's a bunch of Socialst magazine-pamphlets somewhere in that trash..?
