the RNC

[maevele]

is having protesters preemptively harrassed and arrested. I'm too pissed to link, and if I had more money less kids I'd be up there helping the protesters right now. They're busting food not bombs, the poor people's collective, and other non-violent protest/anarchy/change groups.
there's a post by Starhwk from in the middle of it on her listserv.

fuckers.

Although I am also outraged at the raid at Bread Not Bombs, the RNC Welcoming Committee posted plans for illegal activity on their own web site, which reads like probable cause to me:

http://www.nornc.org/156/

"Tier One: Establish 15-20 blockades, utilizing a diversity of tactics, creating an inner and outer ring around St. Paul’s Excel Center, where the RNC is to take place.

Tier Two: Immobilize the delegates’ transportation infrastructure, including the busses that are to convey them.

Tier Three: Block the five western bridges connecting the Twin Cities."
