WTF Is Right With Wisconsin, Badass Mayor Edition.
I don't give a shit at the moment that Tom Barrett is a Democrat. I don't give a shit that he probably looks the other way while Milwaukee's vote fraud machine keeps the state barely Democratic. I don't care that he was a Congressman who tried to muck up impeachment back in 1998.
I don't care at the moment, because he just proved he is one ass-kicking mayor.
Dude, that's hardcore.

Police said the woman was a grandmother who was trying to protect her 1-year-old granddaughter from a 20-year-old man, an assault authorities characterized as a domestic dispute."The mayor stopped and said something (to the man) like, 'Let's all cool down here, I'm going to call 911,'" the mayor's spokesman Patrick Curley said. "He said it one or two times according to him. When he took out his phone, that's when the suspect attacked him."The suspect hit Barrett in the head and torso with a metal pipe. Barrett apparently fought back, fracturing his hand when he punched the suspect."I think he hit the guy," Curley said. "I don't know where, but it was hard enough, whatever he hit, to fracture his hand."The suspect then fled the area when he heard sirens. He was arrested on Sunday at a Milwaukee home, and police recovered the alleged weapon. The woman and baby were uninjured.The mayor, who did not ask for security to accompany him to the fair because he wasn't on official duty, underwent successful surgery Sunday on his fractured right hand and also had cuts on his head and lip stitched up, Curley said. The mayor likely will remain in the hospital through Monday, he said.The mayor's brother, John Barrett, said the family was optimistic about the mayor's recovery."We're extremely proud of Tom's selflessness and his courage," John Barrett said, fighting back tears at a news conference.Gov. Jim Doyle said he also visited Barrett at the hospital Sunday morning and found him in "good spirits and looking good considering what happened.""The mayor's heroic actions clearly saved a woman and others from harm," Doyle said in a statement.
Dude, that's hardcore.
