Welcome to the police state. Pay your taxes, go to war and shut the hell up.
this type (pens) of entrapment is nothing new. i'm guessing they're gonna detain everyone for the remainder of the dnc.
in the future i suggest that we plan better in advance - read the book 'policing dissent.' it won't give us any clear ideas of what to do, but will hopefully lead to some creative ways to beat the govn't/fbi/law enforcement at their own games....
hi fbi - or whoever is reading this. see you all at the rnc.
Do you really think the average American gives half a shit about your “solidatarity networks” and your “radical direct action”?
You are a non-existant political force in America and, infact, the whole world.
Do you really believe the American people will stand up and march along side you and wave your black and red flags?
You don’t have ANY mass support. You’re just a tiny fringe group of political extremists on the margins of society.

You're nothing but a bunch of rich, white suburbanites (how else could to take a few days off to go to Denver?) who listened to a little too much RATM in high school.
You want a "class war"? How about you start by burning down your own houses and throwing rocks at your neighbors?
fix the numbers on the headline. theyr ehigher than supposed to be.
the cops were prepared. they trapped the protesters between two blocks. pepper balls were shot into the ground. some pepper spray, but not much.
That's police pens not pins.
I'm all for anti-imperialism, but Larry Holmes is a fucking idiot. Troops Out Now is just a front for International ANSWER, which is a front for the International Action Center, which acted as apologists for Milosevic, Liberia's Charles Taylor and Mao because they were anti-US.
dead prez were sweet though. I wonder if the Stalinist organizers realize they're anarchists?
i hear the chants, 'they say get back, we say fight back!' and yet nobody fights back. what's up with that?
thanks to the videographers!
but its sad that this stuff is being posted on corporate giant/homeland security collaborator goggle's website.
why not use indybay instead? http://indybay.org
It's a sad day when folks can't just sit down for a minute on the curb and enjoy the passers by. You see the 50 million dollar secuirty budget puts the pressure on the police to fullfill a quota of arrests. I'm sorry your mate's been caught in the trap. Maybe Obama, in his acceptance speech, will address the threat to freedom of speech in this country, and or the most recent bombings in Afghanistan of 91 civilians, mostly women and children. Maybe somebody from the DNC is aware of what's happening in the real world, not just the world of rhetoric and obscenely expensive parties and will have the courage to speak up. But don't hold your breath. Stay strong and thanks for standing up for justice in this crazy time.
people shoulda ran, or at least had counter-surveillance teams to alert marchers that they were planning to surround folks...break free! fuck it we need some militancy
I'm listening to the NPR live stream from inside the convention, There is some cognitive dissonance here. I hope folks are released and keep struggling.

"Therefore, the other protesters need to just stay home."
That's dumb. Sunday was a big day and the protest got people talking. Today was a march for a more marginal issue ("political prisoners") so it was a bit more quiet.

The FOX NEWS reporter "Griff Jenkins" that was removed for being a supporter of a fascist war-mongering so-called media outlet. Link to fox "news" video on it. His comments are idiotic and hypocritical. He whines about "freedom" and so-on. Guess what? Militants don't care about being incredibly PC when it comes to a tactical situation in ousting THE ENEMY.
He also comments about how "most of these protesters weren't even BORN in 68'" Who cares? Seriously. THis guy is a complete MORON.

How can five people walking down a public street be arrested for criminal trespassing? By the local police and the FBI, no less? That sounds really weird...something doesn't make sense here...at any rate, it's a good thing for them that they didn't speak or answer questions until they saw a lawyer...because the first thing the lawyer would have done was told them to not answer any questions.
If whoever posted this has more details and wants to ask defense lawyers specific questions, you can get free legal advice here. It sounds like The People's Law Project has things covered, though.

Typically I appreciate the analysis that comes out of Team Colors, but this amounted to nothing more than cynical griping. Declaring the convention protests as a failure before they began? Seriously? At least wait a week until the dust settles!!
To declare that " these protests, overwhelmingly, do not come out of substantial movements, and will not generate substantial movements." is to show Team Colors to be out of touch with the movements they claim to understand so well. It's time for this collective to get out of the revolutionary armchair for a bit, ease up on the heady analysis and give things time to unfold. Putting out gloomy forecasts of storms that are still building isn't going to help strengthen our movements. Honesty and genuine reflection is needed, but right now people are busy in the streets. It's time to lend a hand, not tisk tisk from high above.
While I respect this call for reflection and recentering our efforts, which seems especially poignant at this juncture, I think we have to be careful to establish a movement narrative that is too linear or that unproblematically privileges certain kinds of struggles over others.
Power works in many ways - certainly economic, but also political, ecological, psychological. Its effects on the imagination are frequently as profound as its effects on the body. Spectacular disruptions of the narrative of power - as in the electoral party spectacle - can certainly provide a point of departure by which space is opened for radical imaginings. While this does not in and of itself lead to the social transformation we desire, it can certainly be a significant catalyst for opening the field of the possible upon which the nitty-gritty, day-to-day of political organizing takes place. It should not be poo-pooed, and frankly production and labor-based forms of movement and struggle, while quite legitimate, do not set the parameters for the field of legitimacy.
Still having problems uploading images...
Started a flickr pool - anyone can join & upload their photos.
Just have to have a yahoo account which is quick & easy & can be made w/o using your real info. All Indy media sites can also easily access any photos there.

fact is, this site is not very functional. i'm rather disappointed that the IMC techies have not yet responded to criticisms or heeded suggestions. this is a major protest event. the latest news and photo/video coverage can be found, unfortunately, by typing a few keywords into the search prompt at news.google.com and sorting by date. hopefully, minneapolis.indymedia.org will be better prepared.

Guys, this is the great fizzle of 2008. I work downtown and expected a show. There is nothing going on. Therefore, the other protesters need to just stay home.
In fact, it is so lame that the roads on the protest routes have reopened.
