Head's up.

Yea, that'll play well in the midwest.

not knowing is inherent in his anarchist model, which relies on decentralised cells or "affinity groups" of five to 20 people who dream up and carry out autonomous actions. When larger numbers are called for, affinity groups temporarily team up, forming larger units called "clusters," and then disband when the deed is done.

I guess Al Qaeda is one of his "affinity models", sounds like it to me.

Jamie Moron is truly delusional if he thinks he hasn't been under continuous surveillence by the FBI for months now, including wiretaps. I doubt he'll make it through the first day of the convention before ending up in federal custody. Neither will most of the other "activists." By the way, notice that the article is a reprint from Salon.

The Social War is coming. Will it start this month????

What a scumbag

[Khurkris]

Good post, thanks.

It truly shows how self-absorbed this group is. And also how well organized this has become. These are professional protestors with little to no concern for laws, property or life in their anarchistic pursuits.

Also, this prompts a question.

Hey LEO's...R.I.C.O. statutes?

This was used in the infamous Chicago 7 trials. Crossing state lines with intent to engage in criminal acts.

nothing that some cannister shot would not cure

...living off savings from an office management job at a "non-profit", huh? Interesting. Wonder which one?

Glad to be here, MOgirl

I wonder what kind of surprise GB has for us. He seems to stay one step ahead of the bad guys.

They're taking "tips" from insiders? Hmmm? Well, here's their phone number: 212-696-6450 It's a voice mail line. Why doesn't everyone give them a polite call and give them what you know about the Republican National Convention? They also solicit "comments" for their voicemail. It might be worthwhile to, say, leave Lincoln's entire Second Inaugural Address on their voicemail.

I wonder if he's the same "Jamie Moran" who ran a workshop on "Advanced Issues in Gay Male Dating" last May?

Then his rioting and mayhem will be neat, orderly and done with style.

Queer Eye for the Anarchist Guy, I guess!

'chaining their arms together inside metal tubes, creating what's called a sleeping dragon. "You lock your arms in," he says. "When the cops come, they have to saw through these steel tubes. You get 30 people and you lock down a street for six hours.'

yeah, that will work. 'oooh, it's a dragon! better hit it with this taser! ooohhh, water hoses make dragons roll down the street..."

what kind of crazy people do things like this?

it's not as thought there were a draft that was going to snark them away to VN, and you would think they would rather protest against the terrorists that killed 3000 people than the President that tries to protect them...

fyi

Don't buy it when the left say that attempts to squash the anarchists are "anti-free speech". The anarchists mean to prevent the Republicans first amendment right to peaceful assembly.

The anarchists' rights DO NOT trump the Republicans and they are against our constitutional form of government. They hide behind the same Constitution that they seek to overthrow.
