Terrorism charges lodged against protesters at GOP convention

Well, since you have corrected your original claim that Ron Paul supporters were breaking windows and throwing urine I guess we have it sorted now.

 

Do you read? I didnt correct anything.

 

I give you way too much credit Rev.

You have not even told us that you anecdotally saw a single Ron Paul support commit an act of terror - the worst even you saw was them 'getting in the face of a Fox reporter.'

For doing that, all the supposed proof you have, you equated them with the KKK.

You have not given one speck of proof that a single Ron Paul supporter committed a single act of terror.

 

[/QUOTE]


What you did say is that "they were Ron Paul supporters"
What I can say to you is this I am a Ron Paul supporter and am not an anarchist.
I love this country and the Lord Jesus Christ,so do you retract your unfounded statement or not?

 

Confession of an RNC security guard

Confessions of an RNC security guard

Local law enforcement officials watch McCain campaign director Rick Davis on a giant screen at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minn., on Aug. 31, 2008.

Sept. 6, 2008 | ST. PAUL, Minn. -- Gathered in the basement of an office building in a tough section of St. Paul, less than two weeks before the gavel drops downtown at the Republican National Convention, roughly 30 recruits hired by a private security company sit through 12 hours of lectures. I am one of these officers-in-training.
The group is a mix of moonlighting prison guards and cops, infantrymen and Marines between tours of duty in Iraq, immigrants, assorted freelance goons and young career seekers. There is also a crisp-looking airman and an outspoken right-wing ideologue, who never fails to demonstrate his remarkable talent for transforming any conversation, even one about the weather, into a discussion about the Mossad.

The RNC, I am told, is a training ground for these recruits. Those who perform well during the grueling 12-hour shifts before, during and after the convention will be considered for permanent jobs at the security firm.

Thanks for your support.
The instructor is Charles T. Thibodeau, or Chuck, a rotund and self-effacing 65-year-old security consultant bedecked in gold jewelry. Thibodeau leans back, cracks open a can of Rockstar Energy Drink and extols the virtues of non-heroism. He has taken painkillers all week to cope with a recent operation to remove varicose veins and is in something of a confessional mood; having been raised by a town drunk (one of his confessions) he isn't much of a romantic to begin with.

"I'll be the first to admit it," he says, crossing his arms. "I don't fight fair. I fight to win. If you got to take someone out -- sorry, I mean, 'reposition them to the ground' -- you go in with help. Under no circumstances do you go toe-to-toe. You gotta get some beefcake in there. I myself prefer to go in with four to five people. Last thing I want is a level playing field."

"What if you're alone and the guy is coming for you?" asks one of the recruits.

Thibodeau doesn't miss a beat.

"You run."

"I know what some of you tough guys are thinking," says Thibodeau, draining his Rockstar. "But trust me, unless you've got no escape route and are being seriously threatened, and can prove that in court by crying on the stand, you had better retreat. You either run or you cry. Your choice."

A recruit sitting in the back of the room begins to fidget and sink into his chair. He wears a T-shirt in the ubiquitous purple and yellow of Minnesota Vikings football. The shirt reads "What Would Leif Erikson Do?"


I, however, stay until the bitter end and await my assignment. The following is a log of a night in my life as an RNC security officer. The night shift is 7 p.m. to 7 a.m.


So it was not all Minneapolis/St. Paul Police but hired goons of the RNC who took the club them first and ask questions later approach, am I surprised

It's it up not the police if a person gets charged and what that charge is? All focus on the family did was call police when there was a disturbance, as we are supose to be able to do. It doesn't matter if they were christians, christians should know better.
Seems certain topic are choosen for the 3 page limit and closed, because there are threads in this forum that go for 5 or 6 pages, no threat of closing them.
