What is Wrong with this Picture?

Madison - The Capitol is shut down to visitors from the public Monday morning, with only staff and media being allowed inside.

The state Department of Administration tightened rules on access to the statehouse Monday morning after deciding the night before not to force out hundreds of demonstrators who were camped out in the rotunda. Some of those protesters from the weekend are still in the building.
...
The remaining protesters in the building have mostly gathered in the rotunda on the ground floor. But there also several present in one wing of the first floor, where an area had been set up for protesting families to spend time with their children.

Megan Hendrick, 29, of Madison said her group intended to stay in place.

"We're just holding this space in the Capitol to defend our rights to peacefully assemble," Hendrick said.
...
On Sunday, police decided to let the crowd of several hundred drum-beating, dancing and chanting demonstrators spend the night and continue the protest against Gov. Scott Walker's budget-repair bill.

"The people who are in the building will be allowed to stay," Capitol Police Chief Charles Tubbs said Sunday night. "There will be no arrests unless people violate the law."
...
Tubbs announced the decision to let the protesters stay after he saw how they moved aside while work crews went about cleaning the Capitol, including mopping and polishing floors.

"People are very cooperative," Tubbs said. "I appreciate that."

"Plus, we're racking up booku overtime!" Tubbs added. *snark off*

I just hope they have this all cleared up by springtime, fieldtrip season when the schoolkids annually visit. Seems a shame to keep ALL Capitol visitors out, for the sake of protesting liberals who seemingly can't afford the costs of hotel rooms...

Start hauling them away, if necessary. If nobody else gets overnight privileges, why this group?

ADDED: Gag me with the hippie talk:

Dena Ohlinger, 22, a University of Wisconsin-Madison student, said for the last week, she had gone to classes and worked during the day and used a yoga mat and blanket while sleeping atop the cold marble floors of the Capitol at night.

"Everyone has been incredible here," she said. "Regular social barriers have been broken down."

Blanca Martin, 29, of Stevens Point said the protests accomplished many things even as the budget-repair bill makes its way through the Legislature. All 14 Democratic state senators fled to Illinois to block final passage of the bill.

"We've had unity of purpose, unity of spirit," Martin said. "Everyone who has been here has been transformed for life."

During the protest, demonstrators organized cleanup details, set up a system of marshals and brought in food.

"There has never been a cleaner group of protesters or a more public health conscious group of protesters," said Matt Kearny, 28, a research assistant at UW-Madison.

Shortly before 8 p.m., a worker on a waxing machine polished the main floor of the rotunda and dozens of demonstrators chanted: "Thank you. Thank you."

"Get Out!" *clap, clap* "Get Out!" *clap, clap*
We need to get that chant going, I think.
