You wonder how long it is until one of these attempts will succeed (again):

A 43-year-old Madison man demanded to see Gov. Tony Evers at the Wisconsin State Capitol on Wednesday afternoon and returned later with an assault rifle after posting bail, according to state officials.

Evers told reporters Thursday he was unharmed and had confidence in the state Capitol police would continue to keep him safe.

“I’m OK. To their credit, the Capitol police took control of the situation and so it’s over, but yeah, it’s always something, that is, things you don’t want to see happen, but that’s why we have good people in the police departments, in the Capitol police and the State Patrol,” Evers told reporters. “They’re doing their great work.”

On Wednesday afternoon, Joshua Pleasnick, who police say goes by “Taco,” arrived at the state Capitol shirtless, with a leashed dog and wearing a holstered handgun, according to information on the incident provided to lawmakers and obtained by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

“While being interviewed Pleasnick said he would continue coming to the Capitol until he spoke to the Governor about domestic abuse towards men,” the report said. “Pleasnick stated he did not own a vehicle and it is likely he has access to a large amount of weapons and is comfortable using them.”

“A large amount of weapons and is comfortable using them” would be a good title for the Oxford history eventually written about this period.
