100s rounded up? pepper spray? going down in front of rnc...rumor right now
Then again, could have been staged / provocateured by the police.
Wouldn't be the first time: http://paulitics.wordpress.com/2007/08/22/proof-of-big-brother-tactics-at-spp-protest-pics-vid/
Hey they have to justify all of that police overtime and over-planning, you know.
I mean imagine if there were ZERO "protesters/police" incidents... people might start to get pissed off at all the money wasted on unnecessary police.
In order to hire MORE police and make things MORE intrusive, they need to make a BIG SCENE out of the whole thing.
Plus, there's the "wacko" Democratic fringe groups that are into the whole "confrontation" and "get arrested" type thing and are more than willing to oblige the police.
Takes two to tango, you know.
This way everyone gets what they want.
UPDATE See otherwise then end up with something like this:
C/O Star Tribune
The "March on the RNC'' was supposed to be the major protest during the Republican National Convention. As the event kicked off around 11 a.m. Monday at the State Capitol, there was plenty of room for picnicking on the grounds. Organizers had floated the number 50,000, but far fewer were in attendance. It looked more like a Gophers football crowd. A few dozen bored-looking police officers on mountain bikes looked on from a shady spot, probably wishing they had chosen another line of work.Hmmm... a boring "protest" with "bored-looking police" -- and then "presto" out of nowhere this "splinter group" of anonymous people with bandana-covered faces...
It was, for the most part, a very dull affair before a splinter group of of about 100 protesters took off toward downtown, carrying a "Students for a Democratic Society'' banner and broadcasting a strange mix of rap and broadcast messages.
Dressed in black and with their faces covered with bandanas, the SDS crew looked a little scary.
And of course the Star-Tribune's own "journalist" got involved as well... see the link for more of the nauseating details.
Smell's slightly fishy... but of course there IS a river running through Mnpls/StPl, so... nah.
Doesn't sound like Ron Paul people. Even if they were RP people, I'd say it is way out of line and deserve to suffer the legal consequences of their illegal behavior. Then again, could have been staged / provocateured by the police.
It's no doubt the socialists, but probably with the aid of some agent provocateurs who have been in place for months, if not years, now.
Heck, they did that in the 60's. I'm sure they're much better at it by now.
Kind of sounds like they deserved it.
Our media isn't asleep. They're accomplices in the agenda to destroy every shred of freedom we have left.![]()
