Elaborate plans are underway to encircle and "shut down" the Republican National Convention at St. Paul's Xcel Energy Center in September. The strategies and tactics involved could come straight from a guerrilla warfare manual.
Anarchist groups with ominous names -- the RNC Welcoming Committee, Unconventional Action -- have announced a "three-tier strategy" to cut off the Xcel Center. The steps include "blockading" streets and freeways, "immobilizing" delegates' transportation and "blocking" bridges to impede delegates' access to the center.
The plan also features a "swarm, seize, stay" strategy. After dividing the city into "sectors," protesters propose to "seize space" through both "hard technical blockades" and "softer, more mobile blockades" such as congestion, according to anarchist websites.
Some demonstrators may chain themselves together in public thoroughfares, while others operate in "waves" designed to "spread out police both geographically and tactically."
Last week, St. Paul city attorneys described these threats in documents filed in a federal lawsuit involving a permit for a march planned for Sept. 1, the convention's first day. Between 50,000 and 100,000 demonstrators are expected to participate.

After about a hundred deaths, the problem should dissapate.
Might backfire. I for one would be asking whether this is really the kind of America that we want the liberal nutcases to create.
Let them do it..let people see how oppressive the left is. I want this on TV 24/7.
At least their mamma’s will be happy to get them out of their basement for a day or two. I think they will be lucky to get a few hundred kooks to show up for this.
kristallnacht was merely an exercise in free speech
coming soon to a city near you
They have no idea how many “thumpers” the St. Paul PD has on the payroll...
Anarchy is right. This is Communism in every way and these people are downright dangerous. I haven’t owned a gun since I was pregnanat with my daughter but I will be arming myself beofre this summer is through. I cannot believe I’m seeing the kinds of things in my country that Eastern Europe got rid of twenty years ago.
And George Soros has contributed how much to these groups?
This is Bolshevism, plain and simple. The Democratic Party has become the Bolshevik Party. They are never wrong; all means are acceptable; no one else has any rights—speech, assembly, etc.; win at all costs; words never mean what they seem; etc.
All the conservatives ought to get together and do this at the Democrat convention. No, wait. That won’t work. We have jobs.
Free speech, man....You know...like....
Reports are that the home fumigation business is already booked up for those days!
"Bush-Hitler-Republicans are like taking our speech away and we got to wake up man..."
Those morons are why the USA should have mandatory military service.
As Joe Soucheray remarked, “This is St. Paul’s protest community.”
Community? Foghorn?
;-)
Precisely. And I hope the disrupters are all wearing their OBAMA buttons when they catch their ugly mugs on the 6 o’clock news.
Uhhhhh, sure.
Right.
Uhuh.
No problem.
Oh yeah.
Ah, the leftists and free speech. It is only free for them.
