From The DNC - A Preview of St. Paul

The blogger known as Zombie is in Denver prowling the streets with the Recreate '68 crowd. His report from yesterday was interesting to say the least.

Word had disseminated among the protest crowd that there was to be an "Anti-capitalist march" as well as a "Meet-up for Fundraiser Disruption" jointly announced by Recreate 68 and DNC Disruption 08, two radical groups dedicated to causing problems at the Democratic National Convention in Denver. A notice online said, "Interested parties will gather at 6pm at civic center park" where "top-secret information on a couple of the choicest fundraisers and parties in Denver" was to be handed out. Then, "at the appointed time monday night, we'll emerge from the shadows to reconvene in downtown and get down and dirty."

OK - note to the protesters....advertising where you are going and when on the internet or the radio is NOT a smart thing. Yes it is a great way to get the word out to your people but they aren't the only ones reading/listening...the cops are too!

After the police managed to contain the protesters (and any observer who was unfortunate enough to get caught up in the action as Zombie found out) one protester turned to a makeshift target.

Denied their primary targets, the anarchists made do with what they had: some began spraypainting slogans on the walls. This guy was writing "We're taking St. Paul next!"

Oh goodie...St. Paul next. I hope the St Paul PD is paying attention to what is happening in Denver. Because this is a preview of what we will see.
