Opponents later used a sledgehammer and other construction tools to tear open the room's wooden doors, only to find barricades of furniture set up inside as a second line of defense .
Cable news channel YTN reported that an electric saw was used to open the door. YTN footage showed security guards spraying fire extinguishers at those trying to force their way inside and one man with blood trickling down his face.
lol, they are maniacs!!!

I hope that is not your wishful thinking about how it should be here!
We already have enough problems in our fine State.

Our politics used to be this interesting.
I can't locate who was involved at the moment but a debate on slavery ended in a fistfight on the floor of congress. And of course there was Hamilton and Burr.

Watch some old news tape of the 1968 Democratic convention and ask yourself if you want to see us go through that again.

Maybe throwing shoes will become an artform in Congress?

It used to be. Find out how Alexander Hamilton died.
Hint, a duel with a sitting Vice-President.
Personally, I think a few good fistfights in Congress would be a good thing. Emil Jones had to wrap his arms around Obama and drag him out of the Illinois Senate once, he was about to unload some whoop ass on another guy there.

Check the Wilmot Proviso.
Just this past year, a fistfight broke out on the floor of the Alabama Legislature.

BTS...we can only hope that Obama &Co will enforce the Heller decision in Washington DC.
Cant speak for anyone else but I'd pay to see Pelosi and Reed in a duel...I guess they could do it in Virginia.
