"The 'Welcoming Committee' is a criminal enterprise made up of 35 anarchists who are intent on committing criminal acts before and during the Republican National Convention," said Sheriff Bob Fletcher in a statement. "These acts include tactics to blockade and disable delegate buses, breaching venue security and injuring police officers. They have recruited assistance in their criminal conspiracy from other anarchists groups throughout the country. Through their plans and actions they have exhibited a blatant disregard for the law and the safety of others."

The statement said the items found in the searches included:

*Materials to create "sleeping dragons" (PVC pipe, chicken wire, duct tape), which is when protesters lock themselves together
*Large amounts of urine, including three to five gallon buckets of urine
*Wrist rockets (high-powered slingshots)
*A machete, hatchet and several throwing knives
*a gas mask and filter
*Empty glass bottles
*Rags
*Flammable liquids
*Homemade caltrops (devises used to disable buses in roads)
*Metal pipes
*Axes
*Bolt cutters
*Sledge hammers
*Repelling equipment
*Kryptonite locks
*Empty plastic buckets cut and made into shields
*Material for protective padding
*An Army helmet.

The five people being held at the Hennepin County jail are under arrest on suspicion of conspiracy to riot, conspiracy to commit civil disorder and conspiracy to damage property.

Arrested at the 17th Avenue home were Monica Rachel Bicking, 23, Erin Chase Trimmer, 23, and Garrett Scott Fitzgerald, 25, Nestor said.

Nathanel David Secor, 26,was arrested at the 23rd Avenue South home.

Minneapolis and St Paul (moreso, Minneapolis) is FULL of rabid left-winged idiots. I can't remember just how many times from 1986-1990 I had to dodge the protesters while I was recruiting. I don't know what it is about the metro area up there, but it's FULL of left-winged idiots. Perhaps it's too many lattes. The suburbs, OTOH, is a LOT more conservative. in 2004, the suburbs got out some 60% of the vote for GWB.
