As many of you know, locla law enforcement conducted a series of raids against residences where known anarchists were staying. These raids resulted in a series of arrests and the confiscation of a lot of materials used to disrupt the convention as well as possibly injure/kill delegates.

I think that many of you ought there ought to read the entire article and then forward it on to anyone who thinks that the raids were a "police over-reaction".

Comments or opinions - anyone?

“They came here to try to stop the convention, to crash the gates, to stop the buses and the delegates. ... They failed”

Sounds like they came to stop democracy.

If you read DU (and can stand the slime) all of the people protesting are peaceful and we have nothing more than a police state.

People in this country need to wake up to the “agents of change” within the current democratic party.

Scary times indeed for the future of our Republic.

I have a feeling this election cycle is going to become very nasty, in a physical way. The extreme left seem to be saying they are going to win this election, even if it is by coup or civil war.

St Paul Police Chief said they failed. They have not failed unless they get long jail sentences and all their assets are confiscated to pay for the damage.

Anarchists are domestic terrorists, and as such should be dealt with accordingly. Terrorists do not have rights beyond not being pummeled beyond recognition. Round them up, detain them, and prosecute, prosecute, prosecute!

Issue the delegates concealed carry permits and some firearms and it could be interesting.

I want the police to release the voter registration information on the arrested suspects.

I'll bet it's Vegas odds that the majority of the criminals are registered democrats.

Group members discussed the possibility of kidnapping delegates, blockading bridges, using liquid sprayers filled with urine or chemicals on police and throwing marbles to trip police and their horses. At an "action camp" held from July 31 to Aug. 3 in Lake Geneva, Minn., one member talked of concealing inside giant puppets "materials" that could be used on the street. Others discussed the need for Molotov cocktails, paint, caltrops (devices used to puncture tires), bricks and lockboxes for protesters to lock themselves together.

Never bring urine, chemicals, marbles, molotov cocktails, paint, caltrops, or bricks to a gun fight.

Lockboxes to lock yourselves together is ok as it is harder for us to hit a moving target.
