I just want to reach out and CHOKE SOMEONE

Good job.

Boy, you know you've posted a good thread when you go away for 15 minutes or less, and there are 30-40 new posts!

[Liberal Classic]

BUMP!

So much for peaceful protest. Next comes the bricks and molotov cocktails.

"Disband "International A.N.S.W.E.R." at once as a seditious, terrorist group."

A number of the members of this terrorist organization should be behind bars. The more I learn about these people, the more I am convinced that you are correct. Brian Becker, Co-Director of IAC/ANSWER, has an office in San Francisco IIRC.

cathy, maybe you'd better count me out for that speaking spot on sunday;
that is, unless you want a firebrand on stage ...

Anarchists have long said that they envision a different form of "government" than our constitutionally defined 3 branches (it is socialism). When they add violence to their political movement, they should be shut down as a threat to government.

[Grampa Dave]

Thanks for posting this.

This is an old trick of the anarchists in the NW, (Seattle and Portland).

They will leave backpacks, molotov cocktails and other violent terrorist weapons hidden in bushes, behind trash cans.

When the cops chase them or things get tense, they run to where they stashed the weapons of terror. Grab them and then run to use them.

Cops in these areas know to search these areas that join a protest area or approach a protest area.

I suggest calling the FBI on International A.N.S.W.E.R. today, as they clearly and blatantly vow to 'shut down the war machine/shut down the USA government' at a time our nation is at both Congressionally-sanctioned WAR and at CODE ORANGE against terrorism.

If this is not a federal crime, I don't know what is. Thisis treason. This is sedition. This is aiding and abetting the Enemy of the Unites States as well as International Terrorism. And they are doing it right out in the open and on the internet.

If the FBI is too busy with al Qaida, I suggest telephone calls to local police agencies indicating what this group is proposing, and asking them to take action.

[HOYA97]

I see all this stuff and I am trying very hard to maintain my composure. What is wrong with these people?

[CyberAnt]

Hmmmm? This goes along nicely with the letter I just sent to the SF Chronicle. I indicated I was "concerned" that the protestors were distracting the police from being able to protect us from terrorists.

[toddst]

Start shooting to kill ... this is crazy.

Seems appropriate to make a statement that any demonstrator spotted with a Molotov Cocktail in his hand may be shot by a police sniper. Of course, SF officials don't have the guts to take such a position.

[Lockbox]

Couldn’t happen to a better city. Hope they burn it down.

[Im Your Huckleberry]

Ah yes..."peaceful" protesters...

Isn't that what we hear? They're all about "peace" right?

And this differs from terrorism how?

[MattGarrett]

"All we saying ... is give peace a chance!"
- John Lennon

NOT!

Simple, Hoya, if you look at the lists of organizations that sponsor these antiwar demonstrations, they are usually very BAD people who hate this country.

[TenthAmendmentChampion]

One of those arrested was Vanessa Acosta, 45, of Highland Park. She knelt in the street and prayed the rosary. She held a sign saying "Peace is the first casualty in war."

She held her hands together in prayer as she was led away.

"I want to give a little bit of myself ... the people in Iraq don't know who I am but at least I know that I'm with them," she said.

Yeah, the people of Iraq just love their oppressors: Saddam's son beats 12-year-olds who say no to sex: defectors

[IYAS9YAS]

His stash?

[livius]

Stashing stuff in the bushes along a "demonstration" route is standard practice for the Black Bloc folks and others influenced by them. When they had their little frolics last fall in Denver, the police got word of it and went along and removed bags and bags of items - nail studded sticks, molotov cocktails, slingshots, etc. - from bushes, trash cans and other places in the downtown area. The creeps had stashed them over the course of several days in preparation for their fun. Boy, were they surprised when they got the signal from their leaders, ran to get the stuff out of the bushes, and found - nothing!

That said, I think you're right. This goes way beyond peaceful protest, and I don't know why these people are not getting the charges and the punishment they deserve.

[IYAS9YAS]

That's a funny thing, too. Anarchy is a complete lack of government and law. These morons call themselves anarchists but their definition is off. What they really are is socialist brown shirts, no different from Hitler's (or Stalin's) lackeys.

[weegee]

Their movement is really known as anarchist-socialism. I don't believe that it incorporates elections. They still want a social support structure (things like public health care). They believe that funding would be voluntary.

They believe in Eutopia.

I got into a discussion on anarchism with some troll here on FR. He eventually got banned but he felt that he wasn't a traitor to America because he saw the anarchist movement taking several more generations to overthrow the American government (he conceded that it would not happen in his lifetime). I still say that he was guilty of treason.
