Madison - Authorities have removed two protesters who locked themselves to the railing of the Senate gallery Thursday.

It appeared that Capitol Police put blankets around the protesters before the bicycle locks were cut away. There was a loud clanking sound as the locks were cut-off.

The removal of the locks -- and the protesters -- brought to an end another strange incident during the months-long chaos at the Capitol.

Just after 11 a.m., the protesters, one man and one woman, used U-shaped bike locks to lock their necks to the railing as part of a demonstration against Gov. Scott Walker's budget. Along with the two who locked themselves to the railing, a group of a dozen protesters loudly chanted "Kill the bill."

a goodly number of the comments are from paid trolls.
