Adam J. Schmidt – Is it possible to consider those idiot protestors to be thugs physically intimidating political opponents and not the FBI and riot police that have been kicking in doors of people they considered potential protestors around Minneapolis? That’s potential as in, they hadn’t protested anything; they were just sitting at home minding their own business. Police and FBI have been knocking down doors, putting everyone in the houses in handcuffs, searching the houses, and then leaving often without taking anything or arresting anyone (unless to many questions are asked about warrants and such). How about the the police who shot pepper spray into the face of a girl holding a flower on the side of the road, are they thugs, too? Is it considered political intimidation to restrict people to “free speech zones” behind walls of armed riot police and chain link fence as has been done at several conventions and many place GWB goes? How about the politicians that either authorize such things or write the laws that allow it to happen, are they thugs engaged in political intimidation?

If you don’g consider that thuggery and political intimidation, would you if it happened in China? And you do… does it matter who draws first blood? Of course, like many idiot protestors, the ones throwing bleach probably don’t even know the source of their grievance and just lashed out at whatever was easiest.

[...] EJ is in Minneapolis – St. Paul (MSP) for the RNC convention. Since most of today’s events were canceled there was a lot of confusion about what is going on – that didn’t stop the protesters. As seen here area around the Xcel center is about as secure as Guantanamo Bay and one of our EJ correspondents caught the tail end of a protester being rowdy (the tail end being the protester being loaded into an ambulance). We also hear the Connecticut Delegation was attacked on they’re way into the Xcel center today… [...]

Hope everyone is okay – and that the authorities didn’t use restraint in apprehending those thugs. Physically intimidating political opponents (and in this case an elderly women as well!) is how fascism rose to power. This is surely the furthest thing from “civil disobedience” that I can imagine.
