Affidavit says group’s strategy included Molotov cocktails, urine-filled sprayers

Almost a year to the day before the Republican National Convention began, members of a self-described anarchist group gathered to talk about ways to disrupt it, including kidnapping delegates, sabotaging air vents at the Xcel Energy Center, blocking bridges and “capturing federal buildings” in Minneapolis and St. Paul.

Reason: Please just post a snippet or two
I'm all for some healthy protesting but some of these kooks might be more suited for a cot in Gitmo. Kidnapping and capturing buildings! I think they had delusions of grandeur far bigger than the reality they are living in.

I totally agree. I have to wonder: if some of their most ambitious plans had succeeded--would they actually enjoy living with the various problems they created? Anarchy may be fun to achieve--for a day or two--but it's not much fun to live under.
Didn't Rush Limbaugh sing that he is "Dreaming of a Riot in Denver." Once again, payback's a bi^ch. Suck's doesn't it.
Indeed that was the case.
Pretty ironic how the Obamabashers prayed for rain during Obama's speech and instead they get a hurricane during their own convention.
Then Rush Limburger dreams of riots during the Democratic Convention and instead gets them during the Republican one.
Pretty ironic indeed.
