thank you! please DONT BE SUPRISED like it seems so many are (partially due to their inexperience) that the cops are beating you. EXPECT IT- and BE PREPARED FOR IT. You will be better off for it. The St. Paul pigs and minne pigs are RUTHLESS. Theres been controversy and proven incidents where the st. paul pigs were in direct support of white supremacist groups. Keep the militant actions OUTSIDE of the PLANNED protest area (for the most part) because, DUH- they are prepared for it, and have greater resources to control THAT AREA. Not other areas. Keep that in mind, and stay safe- those pigs are urging to straight up KILL someone- I can feel it. Solidarity.

Erase this

Let me see if i have this straight.

You commited (or claim to have committed) an act of petty vandalism like this:

Then you take credit for the action via infoshop:

...and with this reply to someone else's message, possibly making them a target as well.

You believe this is an appropriate action to gain attention for your cause.

Perhaps you haven't considered how committing a petty crime, and taking "credit" for that crime via the websites of others, could conceivably open them up to scrutiny and possible warrants that could be used to confiscate equipment or compromise security in an attempt to uncover the identities of anyone who has ever availed themselves of anonymity on those websites. What a reckless way to further endanger the infrastructure of our free speech.

Asheville Democratic Party Headquarters Trashed in Opposition to Oil Drilling and War

Last night, on the eve of the Democratic National Convention, we trashed the Democratic Party Headquarters in Asheville, NC. We dumped several gallons of used motor oil onto their front porch and painted, "No war, No warming, No Drilling" on their walls.

We took this action to express our outrage at the Democrats pandering to the oil companies. Instead of looking for real solutions to global warming, the Democratic party, including the head honcho himself, Barack Obama, is pushing to open up more of our fragile coastal ecosystems to oil drilling. If this plan is allowed to go forward thousands of miles of coastline could be devastated by this toxic industry. All the while, greenhouse gas emissions will escalate, and our Earth's climate will teeter closer to the tipping point.

Meanwhile the Democrats continue to fully support the war on terror. While making half hearted gestures about ending the Iraq war, they have remained unabashed supporter of the war in Afghanistan. One recent highlight of this "just" war was the massacre of over 90 civilians at a wedding last week. Democrats, may the ghost of these innocents haunt you for the rest of your lives.

This action was taken in solidarity with all those in the streets of Denver, and people around the world who refuse to be silent.

Citizens Hoping Against New Gas Emissions

liberal, nonviolent "protesters" should step aside. I bet you were there clapping during ward churchill's speech. you know that book he wrote "pacifism as pathology"... you should read it.

Do you really believe the average American gives half a shit about your movement? About your "solidarity networks" and "radical direct action?"

You people are an insignificant political force in this country.

Do you really believe the American people will stand up and march beside you and wave your black and red flags?

You don't have any mass support. You're nothing but a fringe group of political extremists on the margins of society.

Get a life

Welcome to the police state. Pay your taxes, go to war and shut the hell up.

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?

the cops were prepared. they trapped the protesters between two blocks. pepper balls were shot into the ground. some pepper spray, but not much.

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?
