Terrible.

We hadn't seen anything like this at the Wisconsin State Fair for years. It's awful that thugs running wild brought national attention to the last night of the fair.

There is a policy requiring juveniles to be accompanied by an adult during the evening hours to prevent this sort of chaos. It appears that broke down or those involved in the violence were adults.

The Wisconsin State Fair is such a wonderful event. This year, the fair was celebrating 175 years of annual summer fun. What a horrible way for it to close!

As of right now, JSOnline, Fox 6, Channel 12 and Channel 4 all have nothing on their websites on the violence last night at the State Fair. This is a media blackout and it is deliberate https://t.co/lJxNhBwbZf

I saw this story on X late last night, that multiple fights broke out at the State Fair. I checked local Milwaukee media sites for more information and found nothing.

Accoring to Mark Belling, as of 10:30 this morning, there was still no coverage. This is a major story. It shouldn't take until the afternoon for local outlets to offer reports. For more than twelve hours, it was ignored. That is unacceptable.
