Protestors Violently Turn On DEMOCRAT ‘Gay, Progressive’ State Senator, ‘All I Did Was…’
A violent mob in Madison, Wisconsin not only tore down statues promoting Women’s Rights and celebrating abolitionists but they beat a Democrat State Senator.
The violence seemed to center around the arrest of Devonere Johnson, 28, who followed a man into a restaurant in the Capital Square area carrying a baseball bat.
Madison Police released videos of the incident showing Johnson, who is black, using a bullhorn call a white man “racist” as he followed the man into Coopers Tavern.
Explicit Language warning
Johnson was taken into custody after struggling with police.
A few hours later a crowd of protesters shows up.
Democratic state Senator Tim Carpenter photographed the crowd, that’s when they turned on him.
“I don’t know what happened … all I did was stop and take a picture … and the next thing I’m getting five-six punches, getting kicked in the head,” Carpenter said. Carpenter is ok however he was transported by ambulance to the hospital after he collapsed trying to get away from the area.

Later, rioters smashed windows and set a small fire by the Dane County jail. One of the statues that was torn down was named “Forward,” which shows a woman depicting progress.

The other statue destroy was of Col. Hans Christian Heg, an abolitionist who died in the Civil War.
Hans Christian Heg, a anti-slavery hero, had his statue destroyed also. Heg died while leading his Volunteer Regiment during the Civil War. Now he dies again at the hands of «progressive» thugs, true descendants of slave owners.
But in the hearts of free men, he will never die. pic.twitter.com/ccrZS3nrVV— Nuno Rogeiro @nrogeiro (also in Facebook) (@nrogeiro) June 24, 2020
