Activists Charged with Providing Material Support for Terrorism Ahead of NATO Summit

UPDATE – 3:19 AM ET The three activists that remained in jail have now been charged with “possession of incendiary or explosive device, conspiracy to commit terrorism & providing material support for terrorism,” according to the National Lawyers Guild attorney Sarah Gelsomino who is representing the activists arrested and disappeared in a night raid on Wednesday in Bridgeport, Chicago. (h/t @OccupyChicago)

As noted previously, the three activists remaining — Bryan Church, Jarred Chase, Brent Betterly — appear in the video posted of police threatening violence during the NATO summit. It now seems clear that police are charging them in retaliation for posting the video.

Gelsomino stated to the press that the charges were very upsetting. She called them “nebulous” and “trumped up” charges. She added that the NLG has not spoken to anyone involved in the investigation. An officer told them that each of these three men have been charged tonight.

“Charging these people who are here to peacefully protest against NATO for terrorism when in reality the police have been terrorizing activists in Chicago is completely outrageous,” she declared.

9. Even though we've been on this slope for a long time

it's hard to take in.

Too bad for the primitives.

If that's her/thier idea of a peaceful protest, I want to see some violent protesting.

Yes, the people arrested were totally innocent, they were probably set up by the Tea Party.

22. I don't understand why Chicago was chosen for NATO.

Occupy Chicago is one of the most militant groups. The PTB could have chosen a number of different cities. All I can think is that this is important to Obama/Rahm/others politically ahead of our election?

26. Well, Obama comes out of Chicago, so there might be considerations

from his direction, too. I don't mean to "blame" him but, this year he might want to remind his organization there that he remembers them. I just hope, if that is so, it doesn't blow up in his face.

36. Why in bloody hell would you NOT blame him?

This is a set-up. As I said, it's a ghost town down here today. I will be back tomorrow for the main event but I am scared. Haymarket was the same deal.

25. What about the explosives?

Its hard to determine whether they were simply "activists", targeted because of a video they put on the internet, or whether they were planning something destructive. What about the explosives or incendiaries? That doesn't sound trumped up, but then again they may have just had some lighter fluid by the barbecue or something...

30. What about them LYING THRU THEIR TEETH?

So you just believe whatever you're told? I don't even think most of the roadside bombs were from Iraq or Afghanistan but CIA/Mossad!

Now that the occupoopers have fizzled away, it's cute how the DUmpmonkeys call any group of hooligans and vandals "occupy something or other".

Chase lived in a tent for a time after joining Occupy and traveled with other members of the movement to Rhode Island, Washington, D.C., and Miami before arriving in Chicago last month, his uncle said.

"I'm not surprised that he's in the protest movement because he's been with it for awhile, but it's a whole different aspect when you start talking about committing acts of terror using anything, and it's really not his style," Michael Chase said. "He's had brushes with the law in the past and bumping heads with the police and so forth.

I meant "Tea" party plants. Sorry for the typo, and the poor proofreading. I am more than a little bit embarrassed.
