Police raided a rental hall used by a group organizing protests at the Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minnesota, on Friday.
The RNC Welcoming Committee, which describes itself as “anarchist/anti-authoritarian,” accused St. Paul police of trying to disrupt their protest planned for Monday, the day the GOP convention is set to begin.
While no one was arrested, the group said police temporarily detained and photographed at least 50 people who were inside the building.
St. Paul Police spokesman Tom Walsh said they were executing a search warrant. “The cause for the search warrant is not public at this time,” Walsh said.
As many as 30 police officers entered with guns drawn, according to witnesses in the building.
No bombs or infernal devices were found. Just people exercising their constitutional rights. Oh!
“While no one was arrested,…”
At least they aren’t pushing reporters into oncoming traffic like the Dems. LOL
In all fairness…I think any group that refers to themselves as “anarchists” deserves a little looking after.
#2. Yes, people who distrust government are downright un-American.

We are the Republican Party. We have your best interest at heart.

I suppose you also support the tree sitters in Berkeley. These jerk anarchists are a royal pain in everyone’s butt. Perhaps if you had a few living next door, you would love them even more. I live in San Francisco, and I have to put up with these idiots on a daily basis, since I am a news photographer. I think the cops should spray these creeps with something really good, like super glue mixed with cow turds.
Double standards…
Four more years of deceit, blatant constitutional violations, expanding government, and vastly reduced international security. McShame has it all!
On September 20, 2001, In an address to the nation, George Bush stated, “Americans are asking, why do they hate us? They hate what we see right here in this chamber — a democratically elected government. Their leaders are self-appointed. They hate our freedoms — our freedom of religion, our freedom of speech, our freedom to vote and assemble and disagree with each other.” http://tinyurl.com/rrkj
We are loosing freedoms because of enemies. Who are the enemies of “We the People”?

Have any of you read the Patriot Act?

Do you really believe this legislation was drafted in just 44 days. Congress wasn’t allowed to read many of the parts of the Patriot Act before they voted to pass it.
Both parties, the Dumbo’s and the Jackass’, are complicit. It’s Fascism no matter who does it!
#7 “Four more years of deceit, blatant constitutional violations, expanding government, and vastly reduced international security.”
Don’t worry. Obama’s chance is less than 50%.
1: a person who rebels against any authority, established order, or ruling power
2: a person who believes in, advocates, or promotes anarchism or anarchy; especially : one who uses violent means to overthrow the established order
I don’t think the purpose of protests should be to be violent and harass people. Be loud only, don’t get in the way.
Hack editors trying to mock the GOP for the same things done by the left during their vacation renders their opinion meaningless.
Not that I haven’t already been destroying your opinion for years. Once things even out here a bit I’ll gladly stop, but until then enjoy your servitude.
Hey…the very fact that this post exists with the piccy proves a lot about our freedoms. Not that anyone in the U.S. would notice something like that. Besides, the whole story’s not in…yet.
#13 – Good point, but it is well accepted that the “I can’t believe what’s happening to America” crowd isn’t really complaining about the condition of the nation, but their inability to do anything about it.
That tells you why BHO is framed as the Great Black Hope.
Can we please put a cork in the NAZI and fascist allusions. It doesn’t help arguments. It’s an insult to those that greatly suffered from these regimes. There’s plenty of legitimate arguments against any current political party. Be vigilant against abuse, but keep perspective in all things.
I live in Minnesota. This really does not surprise me from the police we have here.
Because we know this things would never happen with the Democrats.

And all this guy was doing was taking pictures.
#15 – “Can we please put a cork in the NAZI and fascist allusions.”
Sadly, no. These come primarily from pampered upper middle class to wealthy individuals who have never actually had to live under the yoke of Socialism or Fascism. They can usually be found lurking around college campuses wearing Che Guevara T-shirts expounding on their superior knowledge of … everything.
I deny the Republicans got a head start. We have already seen the film of the Dems getting the head start.
The Republicans are merely trying to catch up with the Dems.
#15 RTaylor – Re, “…put a cork in the NAZI and fascist allusions”
No you HUA neocon sympathizer. Stop listening to Bobby McFarrin, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjnvSQuv-H4
Bush has already surpassed the Nazi’s death toll.
Current events, not covered by the MSM, are far worse the NAZI’s atrocities to which you allude.
