UPDATED: When Politicians Try To Make Domestic Terrorists Seem Mainstream: Anarchists Attack RNC Busses! UPDATE: Talkleft says “So much for freedom of assembly. Exercising that right in St. Paul apparently results in an arrest for conspiracy to riot.”
Gateway Pundit could have been killed when the bus he was riding in was hit with cement bags that the anarchists domestic terrorist were throwing off the overpasses down on the interstate.

Violent march to GOP convention
ST. PAUL, Minn. – Protesters smashed windows, punctured car tires and threw bottles Monday during an anti-war march to the site of the Republican National
Convention. Police used pepper spray in confrontations with demonstrators and arrested five.
Police estimates of the crowd shifted during the event before settling on 8,000 to 10,000. The crowd was clearly in the thousands, many of them marching peacefully.

About 20 anarchists who had started the trash bin fire later tried to block the intersection of St. Peter and Exchange streets. Police quickly dispersed the group, then shot two tear gas canisters at the fleeing anarchists.

[...]Wearing black clothes, bandanas and gas masks, some of their members smashed windows of cars and stores. They tipped over newspaper boxes, pulled a big trash bin into the street, bent the rear view mirrors on a bus and flipped heavy stone garbage bins on the sidewalks.
One man who seemed to be the leader of the group carried a yellow flag with the motto “Don’t Tread on Me.” The group chanted: “Whose streets? Our streets!”
Meanwhile, a group of about 100 anarchists pushed a trash bin filled with trash and threw garbage in the streets and at cars. They also took down orange detour road signs. One of them used a screwdriver to puncture the back tire of a limousine waiting at an intersection and threw a wooden board at the vehicle, denting its side. Another hurled a glass bottle at a charter bus that had stopped at an intersection. The bottle smashed into pieces but didn’t appear to damage the bus.

The William Ayers ad that Barack Obama does not want you to see!
The company Obama keeps: “you can tell a a man who boozes by the company he chooses ” and you can tell volumes about a politician comfortable with the likes of ACORN, Tony Rezko, Jeremiah Wright, and William Ayers”
On Obama: “I really don’t care how many houses you have but it does matter how you got that house,”

Others blogging:
UPDATE: TChris at TalkLeft obviously wrote this post without researching the subject. Throwing cement bags or sand bags off interstate bridges rises to the level of attempted murder. Destroying police cars to protest a war is ignorant.
Jeralyn has 2 posts up on that blog that dealt with the protest cages at the DNC Convention. See here and here. Which convention limited the free speech of the protester?

Party of peace and love only when all do their way. They take after their hero’s Marxist and Hitlerites. Riot and act like a bunch of spoiled babies, Men-child and women-child.
