Lawyers for Senakiewicz and Neiweem said the cases are linked to the earlier arrests only by common police informants.
"We believe the two informants have been working to create crimes in the city of Chicago," said Sarah Gelsomino, an attorney for the National Lawyers Guild said. "We do believe they were working for the police."

I'm pretty intrigued to see how this plays out. Two of the others arrested were tied to this group initially, and then the media said the two incidents were isolated. If the charges don't hold up, it could call into question other cases where police have "trumped up" charges.

I said maybe, I don't trust the Nat'l Lawyers Guild either, but I do question a Molotov cocktail being considered a bomb. And there have been instances of false flags of terrorism using dopes set up so they can sting them.

Stand there and let one hit you and then call it what you want.

Yeah what happened to the guys who were going to blow up the bridge in Ohio with a cell phone? They called the number a bunch of times trying to detonate the "bomb" and then were arrested. Good thing that was a false flag "sting" eh and not the real thing. Better to wait until these kooks blow crap up and kill folks then try and catch em right?

Just got back from a 90 minute walk around downtown Chicago and also going to the protests at Boeing. Maybe 150 protesters showed up, hundreds of cops and hundreds of office workers taking pictures. Pretty boring really. The police though were extremely nice and even cheery. One woman smiled and asked if I wanted her to move so I could take a better picture.

I think they've really stressed to the cops to be extremely helpful and nice and not come off as harsh. I walked the loop and it was PACKED with police as well as thousands of visitors. Something like 20,000 people in town between all the support staff from the 30+ countries. Cops everywhere giving directions, etc. Certainly seems much more like a showcase the city and tourist thing than protests.

One thing I couldn't help but notice was the total lack of office workers and especially cars on the streets. Most people worked from home or took the day off.

Default Black Bloc Anarchists had violent agenda

Inside Sunday

Quote:
But a “Black Bloc” of about 100 anarchists wanted something else. The group, which chanted “What do we want? Dead cops!” as it left Grant Park at 2 p.m., surged to the front of the protest crowd and tried to break through the imposing line of Chicago cops in riot gear blocking its path.

Then, in a scene Chicagoans feared ever since the city learned it would host the NATO Summit, the two sides violently clashed on live TV, with police nightsticks flailing and protesters unleashing a volley of sticks, bottles and at least one rock.

What is funny about "dead" people? Some people on here are disturbing in their favoring of violence. The LRAD etc... is a big MIC industry. Police officers nation-wide get funding to purchase these dangerous "toys". Sick stuff.
