Recalling NYC 04’ I’ll just say hot naked chicks are welcome to disrupt proceedings anytime.
Seriously, I recall the protest circus did a great job of reminding all who were present just what we were fighting against.
Minneapolis police are likely to be among the protesters.
It will be a disaster, with delegates harassed even at the Mall of America and on The (billion dollar) Train that will get them there.
RINO Gov. Pawlenty won't help either.
The mere ORGANIZATION of such an event by protests is a conspiracy to “shut down” your right to travel.
Then why not invoke RICO.
Many of these “protestors” are professionals that are paid to drum up support from the fringes.
And who is paying them? George Soros? For any damage that takes place, the “money trail” should be investigated. Whoever is at the end of the money trail should be prosecuted as well. Invoking RICO statutes should be considered.
I am just amazed with Minneapolis (Moonbatapolis). Some punk can commit an act of vandalism, and claim that it is simply his/her “exercise of protected political speech”. And the police departments here in Minnesota show no backbone.

Oh no, 1968 all over again. I somehow doubt the police in the Twin cities will knock heads that need knocking as much as the Chicago PD did in '68.
OTOH, they might want to try some of the new crowd control technologies. Such as the high power millimeter wave device that makes it feel as if one's skin is on fire, but doesn't even leave a sunburn (apparently stimulates the nerves directly) or the "slime" that can be put down on any surface reducing friction to very near zero. The demo videos I've seen on that one show that it's impossible to walk, or even crawl on the stuff. Can't ride anything with wheels either. A sled poled along like a canal boat in Venice might work, but only on a surface, such as dirt or grass, where one could punch through the slime into the surface.
I'd like to see some invention that would work like a broomstick in the spokes, on a grand scale. Toss these losers on their asses en masse. Failing that, they should be given a good stiff dose of a fire hose.

Sir, I know the city very well and how spineless the city leaders themselves are. I don’t let the PC leadership give the PD a bad name when it comes to dealing with adversity. They did a fine job of kicking gang ass even when sharon sayles moonbat was mayor holding them back.
Don’t get me wrong. I have a lot of respect for the officers. They have a huge amount of work on their hands.
I just think that Rybak and his sanctuary city cr*p oftentimes holds them back from doing their jobs as they see fit. Threats of lawsuits and the like....
I agree with you about them doing a great job busting up the gangs. I lived through the Murderapolis days when Officer Jerry Haaf was killed at Pizza Shack a few blocks from our former house.
Yes, I've said the same to friends many times. We would be unlikely to see the same reaction to a Great Depression for instance. Where as people had been brought up in a tradition of stoicism, self-reliance and faith, today's generation is brought up on entitlement, whining and blame. It would almost be fun to watch it unfold were it not for the suffering that many innocent would go through.
I’m confused. Does this “...Don’t see how it [RICO] applies? Guess I am too straight forward on this, but when they are intimadating Republicans they have violated peoples Rights.” mean there is agreement or disagreement?
See posts 80 and 81 which I believe with 38 1/3 percent certainty oppose and/or support the use of RICO in this situation......and then, who would or would not invoke it and then defend the invokers or non-invokers from suits brought by the ever inventive radical lawyers for the radical left

Are they coming in automobiles?
Please, tell me they're going to be travelling in automobiles....
An aluminumized *space blanket* makes an inexpensive and reasonably effective countermeasure, if they know in advance to bring 'em.

Styrofoam peanuts affized with rubbercement or *shoe-goo* to the soles works pretty well for both tennis shoes and GI combat boots. You are invited to guess how we found out how well these field expedients work...and why.
Some senior citizen might panic and accidentally hit the gas pedal rather than the brake, and take out the whole bunch. They should be wary of pissing off motorists.
Is that so? My Federal Jurisdiction professor in law school said that everyone who had ever had two dirty throughts in a room with a working telephone had violated the RICO Statute.
I haven't seen much to make me think he was wrong. Not if the US Attorney wants to ruin you.
mayor coleman of st.paul is going to allow the largest
group of protesters to be assembled to oppose the republicans- all of the council members are FLAMING
Demons ! why the dopey republican party party picked the
twin cities? they flat out WANT to lose the election!
You forgot the tear gas & the beatin sticks. 8*)
