TweetEver notice how so-called ‘peace’ activists always employ the same tactics as the terrorists in Iraq, and elsewhere in the muslim world? You know, the riots, the molotovs, the attempted kidnappings, attacking police, etc… Kind of makes it easier to see why far lefties embrace jihadists. They both share a hatred of rights enshrined in The Declaration of Independence.
A year ago, the Ramsey County sheriff’s office began looking closely at a group called the Republican National Convention Welcoming Committee.
What it found, according to an 18-page search warrant application and affidavit, led to weekend raids on two Minneapolis homes and a temporary St. Paul office for the self-described anarchist group.
According to the document, investigation learned:
The self-described anarchist group — whose main goal was to “crash” the Republican National Convention,” according to its Web site — traveled to or communicated with affinity groups in 67 cities to recruit members and raise money. Group members discussed the possibility of kidnapping delegates, blockading bridges, using liquid sprayers filled with urine or chemicals on police and throwing marbles to trip police and their horses. At an “action camp” held from July 31 to Aug. 3 in Lake Geneva, Minn., one member talked of concealing inside giant puppets “materials” that could be used on the street. Others discussed the need for Molotov cocktails, paint, caltrops (devices used to puncture tires), bricks and lockboxes for protesters to lock themselves together. Erik Oseland, one of the six group members arrested here, produced a video called “Video Map of the St. Paul Points of Interest.” It included such major companies as Travelers Insurance and Qwest, hotels such as the Embassy Suites and the Crowne Plaza. Also included: the Pioneer Press building The main sources for the information were “regular surveillance” of the group and three people who posed as members — two informants and an undercover investigator. The informants monitored e-mails and conversations.
Geneva Finn of the National Lawyers Guild, which represents many of those arrested, said it was hard for her to weigh the evidence in the affidavit because “it’s all based on the testimony of people who are not identified, and that’s a real problem.”
Police and the Sheriff’s Department characterized the anarchists as troublemakers who had come from other cities and states to disrupt the convention.
“Yesterday, there was a group of people, not the protesters … but a group of criminals who came here with a very express goal and intent,” St. Paul Police Chief John Harrington said Tuesday. “They came here to try to stop the convention, to crash the gates, to stop the buses and the delegates. … They failed.”
Many of the people arrested during violence Monday on the convention’s first day were listed in the Ramsey County Jail log as John or Jane Doe because they wouldn’t disclose their real names.
I saw the footage on TV of the moonbats rioting, breaking windows, and fighting with police. I think the police were TOO LENIENT. You put your hands on a cop like that, I believe he should have every right to put a bullet in you. Not necessarily kill you, but a kneecap should go bye bye. But then the leftists would whine that the rioter’s civil rights (apparently spraying piss on cops is now a civil right, as is breaking windows on buildings, and plotting kidnappings). But I digress, as most of the delegates are probably 2nd Amendment enthusiasts or have close family that are, and either would have planted the loonies in the dirt had they attempted to kidnap them. I know I would.
Spraying urine on cops? My brother is a cop, and if some moobat lunatic sprayed piss on him, I am pretty sure my brother would soak the sumbitch in pepper spray. And then maybe, just maybe, I would get myself arrested and put in the same holding cell with that piece of crap.
