Two Protesters, Dozens Cops And Troops At Illinois Capitol

After failing again to approve a state spending plan, Rauner and Democratic leaders in the Illiniois Legislature look to move past a chaotic night and convince voters the other side is to blame for the state's enormous mess. But there's huge political risk for both sides leading up to the November election. (AP Photo/Seth Perlman)

Just two people turned-out to protest at the Illinois Capitol on what was billed as a possible day of national violence. Dozens of Springfield police officers, National Guard Troops, and State Capitol cops surrounded the statehouse yesterday. There were armored vehicles and barricades. In the end, just two people showed-up. The FBI last week warned officials in Illinois and other states about possible large protests.
