Some protests turn violent in St. Paul
By AMY FORLITI Associated Press Writer
ST. PAUL, MN. – Protesters attacked delegates, smashed windows, punctured car tires and threw bottles Monday, a violent counterpoint to an otherwise peaceful anti-war march at the Republican National Convention. Police wielding pepper spray arrested at least 163 people.
The trouble happened not far from the Xcel Energy Center convention site, and many of those involved in the more violent protest were clad in black and identified themselves to reporters as anarchists. They wrought havoc by damaging property and setting at least one fire. Most of the trouble was in pockets of a neighborhood near downtown, several blocks from where the convention was taking place.

Thugs, with, and without uniforms. If the uniformed thugs, don’t know the difference, they shouldn’t be in uniform.

Why is it here in Spain there was no coverage at all about the disturbances at the DNC in Denver but there is at the beginning of the RNC in St. Paul? Why has Amie Goodman, (left-gatekeeper) been arrested? The elite are trying to get the “left” into the street before the NO to the NWO does the same. Why are we, the awakened to the NWO false flag world, so many in Internet yet so few in the street? We had our chance and now the Elite shall use the “Left” to take away that protaganism which should be ours.

I dunno people but I think its well beyond the time to start getting pissed off. We can’t let these ignorant thugs walk all over us like this. They are doing it openly with no regard what-so-ever for our constitutional freedoms. The police are getting so comfortable with brutalizing people and now we see reporters getting beat down by battle ready storm troopers. The people in Minneapolis should be up in arms and lynching the squads of supposed “public defenders” that are sworn to protect and serve the very people that their jack booting. When is enough gonna be enough?
It has become sooo damn frustrating to live under the tyranny of the self proclaimed pedigree class, “civilized” elitists, ridiculously corrupt politicians who pretend to care about the people and the swarms of Bush backing, lobotomized Americans. What is the answer? What can we do to to start waking these people up? The time is upon us to act and we owe this to our children. I for one, do not want to see my three kids indoctrinated into the “system” and enslaved like we have allowed to happen to us. I does not matter what country you happen to live in, the NWO cancer is spreading around the globe and it’s spreading fast. There is power in numbers and WE need to unite, organize, and get active in our communities before all hope is lost.

Live by the sword, and the sword will eventually go UP YOUR ASS! >) patiently waiting…………….

Gary:
It’s not openly. The mainstream news is hearing a different story..until the general public gets to see whats really happening, they won’t get pissed.
They focus on the anarchists doing the bad. By which they get everyone in the minset that all protestor are doing it.
The main news networks never showed anything about the pre-Raids on peaceful protestors, and our truth reporters.
Only thing that had any truth to it was the Daily show. It told a good story tonght…pretty much how the partying continues for the republicans and obama is the godlike saviour (Fake). But it seriously showed how they just don’t get it. It was hysterical, yet at the same time very sad.
I do think it might be enough to get some people to start waking up though.
I wouldn’t vote for either. I think a large show of Ironacy could make a huge statement. Vote Cynthia McKinney on the green pary. Everyone still gets a black president, throw in she’s a woman. And She’s honest. She may even shoose Ron Paul or Dennis Kucinich as a running mate. Win, Win! And then we’re done with the two party Killing Machine!
I betcha that’d be a ticket that would be real change. And a restoration of the bill of rights and constitution.
Peace all
