Live Ammunition Planted Outside Capitol.

What a coincidence? While a judge is considering lifting the restricted-access rules put in place over the weekend, a suspicious pile of 41 rounds of ammo was found outside the Capitol this morning. You know how those gun crazy, Second Amendment remedies shouting liberals are? I also heard a hardware store down the street was selling box cutters. 
What's to sweat? If armed tea party protesters were so safe, what's to fear from a few bullets? Especially around the freedom fighting, concealed carry loving Republican legislature.  


CNN:


USA Today: Sheriff's deputies report finding 41 rounds of hollow-point rifle ammunition on the grounds of the Wisconsin Capitol. 
The bullets, all long .22 caliber, were found outside three entrances, the Associated Press reports. 
State attorneys revealed the discovery today while asking a judge to order the Capitol be cleared of protesters and closed for a security sweep. The judge did not immediately rule.
During the hearing, a u
nion attorney Peggy Lautenschlager suggested the ammunition could have been planted by someone other than a protester, WISC-TV reports.

About 100 protesters remain inside as demonstrations against Gov. Scott Walker's proposal to repeal nearly all collective bargaining rights for most public employee unions enters their third week.
Washington Post: … University of Wisconsin Police Chief Susan Riseling said police were conducting a sweep of the bushes and grassy areas in search of any more ammunition. She noted that ammunition often comes in 50-round boxes, meaning an additional nine rounds may be missing if the ammunition all came from the same source. 
Assistant Attorney General Steven Means, who is representing the Department of Administration in the lawsuit, asked Circuit Judge John Albert to order the building closed for security purposes.
