From the same people that brought you things you should know about Scott Walker before it’s too late the Wisconsin Citizens Media Cooperative
As Republicans rushed through a so-called “Right to Work” bill in the Wisconsin State Senate on Wednesday, some people were removed from the galleries for outbursts but not arrested, while at least two people were taken to an off-site Department of Administration processing facility and made to find their own way back to the State Capitol over a mile away in a bitter snowstorm.

This is the first account of Capitol arrestees being taken by to an off-site DOA processing facility. For people less familiar with Madison like Kelley (Albrecht) is, being abandoned after being released without charges adds to the trauma of arrest.
This marks an even more dangerous tactic that could have harmed the safety and well-being of citizens who must find their way back to the Capitol. In yesterday’s snow and blustery cold, that tactic could have been lethal.
What a unique way to welcome a citizen and provide her with the opportunity to get to know her State Capitol... Madison, Wisconsin... in Winter.
Video of Kelley Albrecht's arrest is below the fold.
WARNING! There is brief profanity in this video.
