Ramsey County sheriff's deputies found weapons and devices to disable buses - among other items - in searches in the Twin Cities last night and today.
Authorities said the items came from "key members of the RNC Welcoming Committee," a self-described anarchist group.
Five people have been arrested and four properties have been searched, according to the sheriff's office.
At 8 a.m. today, the sheriff's office executed search warrants at three Minneapolis homes - 2301 23rd Ave. S., 3500 Harriet Ave. and 3240 17th Ave. S. The FBI, Minneapolis police and the Hennepin County sheriff's office assisted them.
"The 'Welcoming Committee' is a criminal enterprise made up of 35 anarchists who are intent on committing criminal acts before and during the Republican National Convention," said Sheriff Bob Fletcher in a statement. "These acts include tactics to blockade and disable delegate buses, breaching venue security and injuring police officers. They have recruited assistance in their criminal conspiracy from other anarchists groups throughout the country. Through their plans and actions they have exhibited a blatant disregard for the law and the safety of others."
The statement said the items found in the searches included:

think I'll skip work downtown St.Paul next week.
If I got hit with urine from one of these worthless,feckless,hopeless,freaks I'd be on trial for something.
Actually, the buckets of urine and piles of feces were Sheryl Crow’s idea for saving toilet paper.
Ping!
ACORN I would presume.
This is way WAY past free speech These people acting in this way need HARD prison time!
I dare say the demonstrators will be downright out of hand next week.
Stick ‘em in a cage and let them practice anarchy on each other. Better yet, let us show them the consequences of anarchy. They’ll be hollering for governement, police and courts in no time.
I thought it was the Dim’s party platform.
From an earlier, initial report......
“Oddie Miller, a 19-year-old from Fort Collins, Colorado, said it was “just a space to get food, free Internet, community organization.”
“There were no bombs or anything in there,” Miller said.”
Am I the only person that it has occurred to, that if we actually lived in an anarchistic state; these people would all be hanging from trees within about five minutes?
Anti-bus weapons? What for? Are they expecting Obama to swing by and get rid of some more friends and supporters?
I wonder if the MSM will bury it so that the country doesn't get a chance to see what the 'Rats are really like.
nice name. how appropo.
probably nicknamed “s**thead”
call me paranoid (o.k. maybe i am a little) but tell me that i’m wrong when i say that i smell the k.g.b. at work here.
That is a charming Mpls neighborhood they chose. Most people are afraid to walk around it at night.
caltrops, most likely.
They probably watched “Jackass 4” to get most of the ideas.
Now these are fine upstanding examples of who will take over this country.....(Now I fully understand why some animals eat their young.)
Note: this did not happen in Denver. Only Democrats do this.
Fascists.
Jonah Goldberg has them pegged in his new book:
Liberal Fascism: From Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning
And they are there to do the bidding of Bill Ayers and his annointed one.
No Joke:
Now they get to meet “key members of the General Lockup Welcoming Committee.”
Don't they know the definition of "anarchy"?
I posted this on another thread today, but thought someone here would be interested in it. I found this anarchist website when I was volunteering for the RNC in NYC in 2004.
What shocked me then was that they posted addresses in NYC, (even private home addresses), revealing where every VIP was meeting, and at what time of the day or evening.
Scary bunch of creeps.

LOL!


Don't know. But you'll find a lot of people Brack Oblahblah threw under it.
These anarchists are strictly Fourth (Trotskyite) and Fifth (Situationist + Chavismo) International. They work as a united front with the Socialist International, but aren’t organized by them.
A SuperSize tailpipe potato.
That’s hardly fair considering the same things are carried aboard Obama’s chartered 757...




No, see, the anarchists have been very upfront since the start that they would do these sorts of things. The feces and urine, blocking traffic by any means necessary (disabling buses and light rail).
The cops are getting credible info and tips, they are getting court warrants and they are going to do everything they possibly can to keep everything safe and orderly.
I see the resemblance now. poop-flinging libtards.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caltrop
From Wikipedia: A caltrop (calthrop, jack rock, star nail, crow's foot or partisan nails) is a weapon made up of two (or more) sharp nails or spines arranged in such a manner that one of them always points upward from a stable base (for example, a tetrahedron).
Buckets of urine.
OK, this is why I'm not a liberal.
I can't even relate to this.
Disgusting.
Exactly! Mobilizing the entire society with military discipline, but without a war is the statists wet dream.
Recall Obama's comments about a parallel organization to the military...
Never forget (the way the anarchists obviously have!) that after the anarchists help the Communists gain power, the Communists turn around and kill the anarchists, too. Anarchists are useful for destabilizing and creating fear, but not for the Communist program. The Commies killed the anarchists in Russia, and they killed them in the parts of Spain that were taken over by the left, too.
Well. . .urine and feces breed nasty bacteria.
Bacteria used as weapons are Weapons of Mass Destruction.
Sounds like life in Marion or Leavenworth to ME. . . terrorism involving WMD. . .
Not sure if your question is rhetorical or you want a response....but i’ve pondered that question also.Bottom line-imo these people(anarchists)are for the most part mentally defective,professional malcontents,seriously disturbed,etc...aka losers.I’d give em more than 5min though.More like an hour:)
These aren’t liberals.
They’re animals.
These are the same a**holes who will tell you, “I don’t agree with what you’re saying but WILL DEFEND TO THE DEATH! your right to say it!!!” ROTFL!!!! What a bunch of brainless buffoons. Oh yeah! Did I mention that they are “patriotic” and they also “support the troops?”
By definition anarchists are anti-democracy.
Ask an anarchist why they are violent instead of acting within the rules of law and civility. They will then start saying that violence is justified to get a point across...
When they get to that point, break their nose. Then ask them how they like their theory now.
There is only one suitable answer to these people. SHOTGUNS.
It sounds very much like Woodrow Wilson’s nakedly fascist American Protective League.
Ah, the pacifist/free speech movement is here.
Indeed it does. Curious how this too-obvious similarity is nowhere to be cited in the LBM. Curious, I say...
Theyre animals.
No, they're liberals.
Animals wouldn't stoop this low.
And the WOT widens.
Sorry, but animals have more class.
