Police Raids St. Paul On "Suspected Anarchrist Protesters" Before RNC

Unlawful Raid?

Or Dangerous Protesters?

Those are both sides of the story.



After reading both stories, I feel like this is more of an attempt to quell an openly anarchist and anti-establishment movement against the current government than an attempt to stop violent protesters. These people's only crime has become to try and protest at the Republican Convention.



If you dare to venture to their website at http://www.nornc.org/ , you'll be surprised to find no intentions of violent activity expressly advocated in any way(minus plans to blockade roads, although this could also be construed as a joke). This was supposedly the link police made to this organization and their malicious intent. This ultimately led to the arrests of at least 5 persons charged with counts of civil discourse, intent to riot, and conspiracy.
