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:

Perhaps you already picked up on this, but the owner of the duplex on Iglehart where there was a search for the RNC Welcoming Committee is owned by Mike Whalen, a very close friend of Sara Jane Olson/Kathleen Soliah. He is mentioned in several of the news stories shortly after her arrest. I ran into him several times at her parties. Please leave my name out of this and do your own independent verification. Thought you’d be interested in this timely link.

Dude, deinstitutionalization is the only humane way to treat the mentally ill by comparison. The soviet Union locked people there for disagreeing. And when you consider that almost everyone would fit the bill as having a mental illness according to these quacks it makes perfectly good sense. These people want to take anyone who even seems anyway peculiar or non conformist and gulag them.
Liberals OTOH aren't just mental, they're evil.
