Gun advocate arrested for punching Wisconsin union activist in the face
A daily non-violent singalong at the Wisconsin Capitol turned ugly Tuesday when it was interrupted by a former Republican state senator and two pro-gun advocates.

Former state Sen. David Zien yelled "Walker for president" while the two other men attempted to cover some of the union activists with the former senator's "Don't Tread On Me" flag, Sue Trace, who was participating in the singalong, told The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

Michael Dickman came over and tried to grab the flag. That's when Henry Rahr allegedly put him in a headlock and punched him in the face, chipping his tooth.

Rahr was arrested on the tentative charge of attempted battery. He was released after posting $650 bail.

And the circle is complete.

3. Attempted battery?
What kind of crap is that? If you punch somebody, there's nothing attempted about it.

4. Zien and his thugs were looking for trouble and they caused the trouble. IT is
strange though as the the gun laws were passed already. What a strange goon Zien has turned out to be.
