This morning’s Austin American Statesman reports that two fine, young citizens of the Capital City had planned to bring a little more…uh, “excitement” to last week’s Republican National Convention in St. Paul, MN than the convention organizers had planned on:
Austinites David McKay, 22, and Bradley Crowder, 23, were arrested last week on charges that they constructed Molotov cocktails to throw at police during the convention in St. Paul.
Nothing like some wood alcohol, glass bottles, and burning wicks to support the free expression of ideas and and show your tolerance for dissenting political views.
Is this tolerant?
But if you happen to get caught just have some community organizer explain it all away…

Thanks to Calpernia for pinging me.
Yes you were certain that it was the FLDS or some of their supporters. That is why I pinged you : )
Well, maybe you’d better check back on that.
I said it was more likely to be some kind of anarchists, or nuts, who were motivated by the FLDS raid.
I think the FLDS men were too busy hiding from the Law to worry about using molotov cocktails on the Governor’s mansion.
There were other posters who said they thought it was FLDS men.
And... Thank You for pinging me.
