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:

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...
They’re animals.
No, they're liberals.
Animals wouldn't stoop this low.
And the WOT widens.
Sorry, but animals have more class.
Well an “anarchist state” (as in govt.) is a contradiction in terms, but you are correct that anarchists are so loopy that they have no conception of what a catastrophe it is when govt. and security break down completely. They have some demented idea that “people can’t we all just get along” is a sufficient basis for modern societies, when the evidence is everywhere that a minimum level of govt. and security is absolutely essential to protect against internal and external threats. There are always those who would plunder, rape, and/or murder their way to get what they want, and also those who want to kill us all. Now how much police, military, etc. constitutes a reasonable level is always much in dispute, but anarchism (to the extent that there are any “ideas” there at all) is simply extreme adolescent dementia acted out.
Just a normal freedom loving group of American citizens wanting to express their loving concerns for free speech.
It's not like anyone would be at risk or put out with their promotion of freedom.
We should just let bygones be bygones./major sarcasm
Anarchists would free the savages from that fear.
I am not sure, but I would suspect that the number of savages amongst liberals is higher than the number of savages amongst conservatives. This article is just more evidence that this is the case.
nothing like dignified opposition.
given that the left exists exclusively as radical opposition to the very thing that civilizes people, I venture to say you have taken "understatement" to new extremes.
tire spikes called caltrops . just toss into the street & they will always land with one spike pointing up. great for trashing vehicle tires like on delegate buses or cop cars,ambulances,fire trucks.
You are correct. Sadly the dolt’s in the black bloc can’t quite figure that out.
Not KGB but definately DNC!
