Anti-War Protesters Attack Conn. GOP Delegates Some Delegates Doused With Bleach-Like Substance; Rowdy Crowd Estimated At Between 2,000-10,000 ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) ― Protesters attacked Connecticut delegates near the site of the Republican National Convention Monday in a demonstration where more than a dozen people were arrested by police using pepper spray amid window-smashing, bottle-throwing and tire-slashing.
It was a violent counterpoint to an otherwise peaceful anti-war march not far from the Xcel Energy Center convention site.
Many protesters involved in the more violent protest were clad in black and identified themselves to reporters as anarchists. They wrought havoc by damaging property and setting at least one fire. Most of the trouble was in pockets of a neighborhood near downtown, several blocks from where the convention was taking place.

How come the Police did not shoot them as they were trying to kill people?

Why don’t they just launch itching powder over these thugs and terrorists?
Pepper spray is nice, but itching powder would leave them rolling on the ground in agony for the entire rest of the day. And zero actual damage, so their whining about “brutality” would be completely irrelevant.

I would ask where were the lead bullets?
These are violent felons who should be dealt with accordingly.

And zero actual damage, so their whining about “brutality” would be completely irrelevant.But then they would claim "cruel and unusual punishment".

The police arrested anarchists the other day for “conspiracy”. By definition, anarchists have no structure or organization. How can anarchists possibly plan?

Look, you can’t allow people to throw unknown liquids on you and not react as any sane person would. Shoot the bastard.
