Some turn violent in march to GOP convention

ST. PAUL, Minn. - Members of the Connecticut delegation said they were attacked by protesters when they got off their bus near the Xcel Center, KMSP-TV reported. Delegate Rob Simmons told the station that a group of protesters came toward his delegation and tried to rip the credentials off their necks and sprayed them with a toxic substance that burned their eyes and stained their clothes.

One 80-year-old member of the delegation had to be treated for injuries, and several other delegates had to rinse their eyes and clothing, the station reported.

Five people were arrested for lighting a trash bin on fire and pushing it into a police car, St. Paul police spokesman Tom Walsh said. Authorities didn't have immediate details on the other arrests.

Up to 200 people from a group called Funk the War noisily staged their own march. 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 rearview mirrors on a bus and flipped heavy stone garbage bins on the sidewalks.

At one point, people 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.

Ok if the Anarchist  can use pepper spray...the cops should be allowed to shoot them.

You can kill someone with pepper spray.

Especially an 80 Y.O., do they know what type's or repertory aliments you can get at that age?

With the right pepper spray it doesn't matter the age.  The stuff you can buy mail order is stronger than what the cops use.  It will send someone into respiratory arrest at MY age.

I hope one of these turds ends up trying to resist arrest.

Don't know if I can. I'll be at Indiantown Gap during the week of the 15th and in Philly the week of the 22nd.

Too bad you could have had some one on one time with these hippies.

When it's you and 14 Anarchists

The anarchists had better send for reinforcements.

Most of them are cowards and not up to a fight with a real man.

A group of dirtbag "protestors" attacked a group of children.

A little later, a busload of Cub Scouts were en route to the convention, where they were to present the colors to open the convention. A group of protesters--liberals, Obama supporters, or whatever--blocked the road, surrounded the bus, and attacked it, rocking the bus back and forth, denting and scratching the sides, and generally terrifying the children trapped inside. The left-wing protesters attacked a number of buses in the same way, but there is something especially despicable about attacking a group of Cub Scouts.
