It seems Madison’s finest activists learned something during all those afternoons skipping class to protest outside Taco Bell and sit inside Bascom Hall.
Approximately 30 Madison residents joined thousands of others to protest the World Economic Forum in New York City last weekend. They brought with them rags (for tear gas), first-aid kits and — most importantly — a legal defense fund.
Whether you agree with them or not, there is no doubt the Madison protesters upheld Wisconsin's longstanding tradition of civil disobedience. Police reported about 150 arrests, three of which were Madison residents.
Three out of 150 is pretty impressive, especially when you consider that was only about 10 percent of the Madison residents present. Clearly the Madison delegation had something to teach the rest of the anti-globalization crowd.
