'Shoot To Kill' Was Only A Joke; WI Officials Seem To Agree


One noisy outburst a few weeks ago by a few protesters provoked a hard-edged condemnation by Gov. Walker along with praise of the proposed GATC iron mine evan after GTAC reacted by posting heavily-armed, but unlicensed guards at its site.

But  it doesn't appear that law-and-order will be invoked with similar vigor and commitment by Wisconsin officials after repeated threats against mine opponents were posted publicly online by a group of mine supporters, The Capital Times explains:
The group provoked even greater outcry when it claimed it had authorized a "shoot on sight" order for four anti-mine protesters, three of whom told Channel 27 news they were alerting authorities in response. 
Perhaps in recognition that it had gone too far, the administrator of the Facebook group (who refused to disclose his or her identity) said the group was nothing more than satire.
Oh, I get it. Haha.
