Sorry to use "Breaking" but this is kind of big. This was posted over at Dane101.com @ 8:42 PM CST.
After the State Senate republicans' unprecedented move earlier tonight, the Capitol was closed and all the doors locked, keeping out the thousands of protestors outside. Just now, protestors inside opened the door on the State Street side of the building to allow in those outside. State troopers ran to hold the doors but could not stop the flow of the crowd and soon gave up, allowing all the doors on that side to the opened.
Jesse Russell, on the scene for Dane101, reports that more than a thousand protestors have streamed into the building, reoccupying it. At the moment, the State St. and Martin Luther King Blvd. doors are open.

Not sure what's going to happen next. It's clear that the WI GOP has thrown gasoline onto a fire. I sure hope this doesn't lead to violence. Not sure what tomorrow is going to bring here in the Badger State. This weekend should be very interesting.

Thanks for the recs folks. 1st time on the list. I'm off to bed now. I really hope that I wake up tomorrow and find that everyone has remained calm and that no one has been hurt. Good night everyone.
