Buckets of urine, slingshots, anti-bus weapons seized in raid on anti-RNC protesters - By Mara H. Gottfried, Elizabeth Mohr and Dave Orrick (hat tip Jane)

Ramsey County sheriff's deputies found weapons and devices to disable buses - among other items - in searches in the Twin Cities last night and today.

Authorities said the items came from "key members of the RNC Welcoming Committee," a self-described anarchist group.

Five people have been arrested and four properties have been searched, according to the sheriff's office.

"The 'Welcoming Committee' is a criminal enterprise made up of 35 anarchists who are intent on committing criminal act.

before and during the Republican National Convention," said Sheriff Bob Fletcher in a statement. "These acts include tactics to blockade and disable delegate buses, breaching venue security and injuring police officers. They have recruited assistance in their criminal conspiracy from other anarchists groups throughout the country. Through their plans and actions they have exhibited a blatant disregard for the law and the safety of others."

The statement said the items found in the searches included:

Materials to create "sleeping dragons" (PVC pipe, chicken wire, duct tape), which is when protesters lock themselves together

Large amounts of urine, including three to five gallon buckets of urine

Wrist rockets (high-poweredslingshots)

A machete, hatchet and several throwing knives

a gas mask and filter

Empty glass bottles

Rags

Flammable liquids

Homemade caltrops (devises used to disable buses in roads)

Metal pipes

Axes

Bolt cutters

Sledge hammers

Rapelling equipment

Kryptonite locks

Empty plastic buckets cut and made into shields

The five people being held at the Hennepin County jail are under arrest on suspicion of conspiracy to riot, conspiracy to commit civil disorder and conspiracy to damage property.

Pamela,

The leftwing San Francisco Chronicle has an article today at SFGate.com where they spin the arrests as suppression of legitimate dissent. Of course they don't mention the long list of weapons and anti-personnel materiel that the police listed as confiscated. For the Left, politics is "war by other means" and they have proven it time and time again.

Did the police also confiscate all cell phones, computers, PDA's, etc? These five individuals weren't planning to transport multi-gallon containers of urine and their arsenal by themselves. Round up every contact listed on their electronic devices.

State and Federal law enforcement officials should use conspiracy laws to hammer these criminals.

nothing bad folks. Just a taste of Ayers. Whom I still wonder how this bastard is not in jail

[kobi]

hence the term, when someone goes weird/nuts: he went left.

part of our task is to remain vigilant and turn the focus back to the truth. when repubs were at the dem convention all they did was interview people. hmmm.

[Marjo]

Time for the Tasers.

[neverforget]

Do not try to interview any of these pigs. Your safety is more important than a story. BTW, why are we getting gray stories?

[Cindy]

Want to see these guys cry like a little girl?

Make them use those buckets for a toilet while they are in jail. They would be screaming GITMO in about 10 minutes.

Interesting laundry list of items they seized. But one not on the list but visible in the picture is a little more disturbing - the bow and arrows.

I am a hunter, and I bow hunt when I get the chance. The bow pictured is a compound bow, which is capable of sending a 300 or 400 grain arrow in excess of 250 feet per second. The kinetic energy created by the weight, length and speed of the arrow can easily kill people as well as big game. And they can also penetrate some body armor. The presence of the archery outfit indicates that there was a possibility of a little more than vandalism on the menu.

So help me my mother in law wrote that cookbook.

Recalling the movie "Black Sunday", does anyone know the whereabouts of the Ron Paul blimp?

Did anyone else read the book EMPIRE by Orson Scott Card?

About a 2nd US Civil War... started of course by the peace loving anti-war LEFTARDS.
