The Wisconsin State Capitol was evacuated today after a man entered the building and claimed to have a Molotov cocktail in his backpack. Thankfully, no one was hurt, and there is no word on what was actually in his backpack, although a witness reported seeing a bomb squad member removing bottles from it.

We don’t want to jump to too many conclusions about Kvon Smith’s motives, but here’s a nice picture of him with Democratic Senator Tammy Baldwin. It’s taken from a video he put up on YouTube detailing his progressive activism.

He also uploaded a video of his “Molotov cocktails” to Facebook along with the cryptic message, “Haha.” Whether they were real is anyone’s guess. “This is for today,” a voice on the video says. “We’ll see what they have to say when I bring it to the Capitol.”
He also posted a ton of photos of himself without a shirt, along with multiple girl-in-bikini photos. Genius and class, such a rare combination. We’ll spare you the hyperlinks.
Assault Molotov cocktail being reported in the WI Capitol. Hope everyone is all right.

It's amazing how anyone was able to bring a Molotov cocktail into the WI capitol considering it is illegal to do so. #bancocktails
