RNC in twin cities: 8 protesters charged with terrorism under Patriot Act

nicely written.

excellent information.

so we charge protestors with terrorism charges huh?

okay.

or is it?

hmmmmm.....

it appears the Republicans are sending a message.

I guess they are not to be contested.

turning our military and police against us.

does not say much for the police or military really.

I am ashamed.

So, what did they do that categorizes them as terrorists under the "Patriot Act"?

Actually they didn't do anything at all but are charged with "Conspiracy to Riot in Furtherance of Terrorism.” That's the problem of the Patriot Act, it gives the authorities the right to charge people prior to committing a crime.

This is what American's, all Americans can expect more of under the totalitarian regime of mcSame palin' -in the light- and the desperate (running to save their arse) Ripusofficans who've been committing treason against the vast majority of Americans.

Vote for a breathe of fresh air and our Constitution, VOTE for Barack Obama and Joe Biden.

The only thing the patriot act does is give permission to arrest Real Patriots.

This sets a terrible new precedent...

The Patriot Act has given the Neocon's unlimited power.

My only hope is these people get a reasonable jury who can see through the lies... if they even get a trial...

7 1/2 years for opposing a fascist regime...

Just the beginning of the Patriot Act Atrocities.

Good luck my fellow citizens!

Ride on!

It sure seems like the twilight of democracy.

funny how these monsters invoke the word "freedom" at every speech and beat their chests with pride.

then erode our freedoms like water to a sandcastle.

The question is, will Obama/Biden repeal the Patriot Act?

The patriot act was a travesty of justice. It is against the constitution and needs to be revoked. Fear does not give us the right to overturn the constitution.

we need an anti-patriot act coalition. does that make me a terrorist for saying that??? I think I better move now they are probably going to arrest me next. the only way to fight these injustices is through the spreading of knowledge. we're pretty much screwed.

These pre-emptive strike measures have effectively kissed "using force only as last resort" goodbye.
From the same mentally challenged folks who brought you the attack on Baghdad.
4 more years of this?
No way.

When the Patriot Act was passed, supporters said the new powers would only be used against actual terrorists, against real threats. The opposition said that the powers would inevitably be used against Americans for political purposes. Guess who was right?

Norman Mailer pointed out--was that the alleged conspirators "understood that you didn't have to attack the fortress anymore." All they had to do was "surround it, make faces at the people inside and let them have nervous breakdowns and destroy themselves

he was referring to the Chicago 7

Chicago 7 Minnesota 8

RESTLESS YOUTH
YOU CANT STOP THE YOUFFF!

And they said that us conspiracy theorist was crazy!!! Let us see who is crazy when we are sitting in jail for protesting what we think is wrong. Protesting is now terrorism. Here we go Folks. This does not look good for us. See you in jail!!!!!!

Given what we all saw happen in Minnesota - all of it - anybody plan ever to visit the place?

You know - tourism? Investment? Retirement? Drive through in a hurry?

What exactly is there? What's to anticipate, I mean assuming more bridges don't collapse while they're building another sports palace?

And now, you say, it's a hangout for Terraists!

I'm staying at home. Minnesota you can freeze in the dark.

I see a small group of four stoned kids sitting in a circle:

First kid: Yeah its gonna be crazy..
Second kid: Screw those bastards we should do something...
Third kid: We could bring them all back here and get em stoned.
All three laugh, except the police infiltrator..

Call in the cops, these kids are terrorists

George Orwell tried to warn us.

I concur with SLDN. The Patriot Act has been more of a hinderance than anything else. Compare the number of individuals that have actually been brought up on charges in connection with 9/11 vs. the hundreds of thousands that have been harassed, prodded and persecuted on less than credible information. Our borders should be protected, but this, clearly, is not the way to do it. If this is the plan for fighting 'evil', the question needs to be asked who the real enemy is.

Dear Americans,

I would like to propose a "NATIONAL STRIKE DAY" for every American that is able. I have heard France has been doing this with great success. Please let us get everyone engaged here and anywhere we can post this message or one of your own.

The Questions I would ask here are as follows: What day should it be and when and how often? Once a month to start or? I believe this would really give the people back their power in this country. It is time to take action! If we do not take some action now as our Declaration of Independence says we have the right and obligation to, it looks like our country will fall.

People are losing their homes by the millions, and jobs of course with it, and our government with the media's help are trying to hide it from us. They are going to let us just fall, we have to save ourselves, to many good people's lives are being ruined.

This is the responsibility of a free people. Be sure the world bankers have a diabolical plan for us and unless we truly want to be slaves, we have to do something. I am open to other ideas, or maybe someone is already doing this (I heard something). I plead with each American here on Twitter to get involved and support this idea, and everywhere else we can get this message out.

This will be a peaceful way to get our government's attention, while we take back our country. Trust me if George Washington and the many honorable men and women who fought our war of Independence were here today, they would have already taken action years ago, many years ago, and I doubt it would be very peaceful.

Thus, no one works until our demands are met. Start with say five or ten demands. So my idea, proposal is that Americans just go to the street, your city hall, or what is ever appropriate in your state. No one works until our demands are met. But absolutely No violence, no vandalism, no matter what please. That will destroy our honest political cause afforded us by our constitution. In fact, we should make, in my opinion that it is a very somber and quite sit in, almost complete silence until our demands are met, so they cannot try and intimidate people or arrest them unlawfully as they have been doing. I believe this is very important point, no conflict what so ever, just freeze everything. We are all allowed to stay home from work. We need to get employers involved obviously.

My list of demands start as follows:

1.) No more bail outs, but instead money is to be given directly to the American people.
I heard some experts are saying that this is the only real cure, some 450,000.00 to each American is the answer to our financial crisis. http://www.dvorak.org/blog/?=26321

2.) Abolish the IRS, period!

3.) Reinstate our fourth Amendment rights.

4.)

5.)

I hope others will give their suggestions. I would recommend we elect a board and thus work to organize our first AMERICAN NATIONAL STRIKE DAY, or if someone has already started this, please if anyone is aware of this let me know.
