“But police were mainly interested in the “RNC Welcoming Committee”, a self-described anarchist group that vowed on its Website it was going to “crash the convention”.

Police say they confiscated weapons, explosives and ingredients to make Molotov cocktails and disrupt buses.”

If the cops are finding “weapons, explosives and ingredients to make Molotove coctails” then I’m behind them 100%. I’m not a big fan of the notion of anarchy.

Isn’t Sara Palin a dedicated member of the NRA? Don’t they believe that people have a right to any of those things? I don’t see how you can have it both ways.

‘Automatic assault rifle’ — strictly speaking it almost certainly wasn’t automatic, probably semi-auto and “assault rifle” is one of the stupidest terms in common use today, nearly all definitions include cosmetic constraints that have no actual impact on the weapon’s lethality (e.g. pistol grip stocks)

and for what it’s worth, I’m a bit disturbed by the seizures; I hope there was much more evidence collected beforehand to warrant the raids.

Not about Dems vs. Reps. It’s about freedom vs. fascism. there was just as much criticism about the dem convention antics.

Is spraying 80 year old conventioneers in the face with bleach a lot of fun? What about throwing bags of cement from overpasses onto buses full of regular folks? I don’t get it.
Is there a special hatred toward Republicans vs. Democrats. If so, why?

Wasn’t there a movie about that? Entrapment or something?

All I can say is, thank goodness they seized that poster-making equipment.

I love the “guilty before charged” feel of some of the comments here. Thank goodness we have those psychic cops who can stop crimes before they happen!

Automatic assault rifle protected under the Republicans’ interpretation of the constitution. A machete, a hatchet, throwing knives, axes, bolt cutters, equipment used in rappelling – not protected?
