I’m sorry Superdave, but you are a dumb ass. To compare what Anarchists are trying to accomplish to National Socialism is an insult. Anarchists strive for an anti-authoritarian, autonomous, stateless, classless society organized without coercion or domination, but rather in cooperation. National Socialism is disgusting, fascist, and the complete opposite of what these guys are trying to accomplish.

I just got wind of this guy tonight on the radio. After reading so many posts on this site (and having spent ten years in Universities earning my Ph.D. then three more as a postdoc), I can see the minds of many young students, a couple idealistic professors, and many others who REALLY want change for the good of society and the uplifting of the poor out of poverty. Your motives are saintly, but the means you propose (i.e. Marxism) are the source of the greatest misery, genocide, and suffering the wold has EVER known. Hitler had 6,000,000 Jews and other “undesirables” killed under his socialistic central planning scheme. That was a true Holocaust!!! Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot and the other Marxists killed at least 100,000,000 people in order to bring about their Marxist socialist utopias visions. In every case, those that survived suffered WORSE than if they were left alone.

LEAVE US ALONE!!!

I tried to work with common ground, then went back with the folks who later became Emergency Communities. A Snitch is a snitch is a snitch. no excuse. no justification. if you have a problem with someone’s tactic’s handle it face to face, not lure them to the jake’s. Once a snitch always a snitch.

1. I disagree with his position on my party, but a lawful, peaceful (even noisy) protest is ok with me. -he is not a traitor.
2. The terrorists that had the bombs are not viable participants in our system, they are no different than the KKK, Bill Ayers, Eric Rudolph, the Unibomber, Robert Matthews, the Weather Undeground or any other participant in “direct action,” including abortion clinic bombers.
3. Good for this citizen for protecting his rights and the rights of those that he opposed.

I was a Common Grounder also and a native of New Orleans. What I saw was a bunch of wanna be activist coming into my community offering help but really all they were trying to do is further their own agenda. They came into my community trying to tell the community what they need, not asking what the community wanted. Stuff like bio-remediation. Who cares if the soil is contaminated. If you go to any metropolitan area the soil will be contaminated. The people in New Orleans needed a home, a roof over their head. Yes Brandon was running Common Ground for a while and I had never heard him advocate violence. Maybe a protest but not violence. Yes you had different groups coming to common ground with different ideas to do things and Brandon was pretty adament not to change due to the groups coming in would be there for 2 weeks and wanted to change to a better system. Every group coming in wanted to change things.One group of vegans came in pushing to have all meals served to the community should be vegan due to any other food is harming the community, are you people crazy, coming into my community and telling us what we need, change your own community. Well if you changed things every 2 days nothing would ever get done, the only thing getting done would be changing things. All they cared about is their own agenda. Forget the real reason we are supposed to be in New Orleans helping the people. That is the one thing I haven’t heard from any of you guys “helping the people” all I hear is your agenda. Tell you what if there is another Katrina do us a favor and stay home. Don’t come to “help” we don’t want you. Fix your own community leave mine alone. Brandon did a good job in New Orleans considering he had all these wanna be activist trying to make it happen their way. Brandon took charge and got things done for the community. Brandon did the right thing regarding the Austin 2 Violence is the last resort of the ignorant. Also, I see all the activist community is basically burning Brandon at the stake, once again it is about the agenda not what this is really about. These people were going to hurt people. I see no comments on this. I guess it is ok to do those types of things, once again the word agenda is creeping thru.

I witnessed his testimony this morning in Minneapolis. Seems everything hinges on whether he encouraged McKay and Crowder to make molotovs. The fact is, talking shit was criminalized several years ago, and Darby didn’t have anything to do with that. If he encouraged M & C to make explosives, the entrapment defense makes sense. He claims he did not, and honestly the defense did not do a very good job showing or even implying otherwise.

Weren’t molotovs discovered in the hotel room? In which case it’s not a question of intent to create weapons but rather of intent to use. But making them in the first place is a felony, so the defense is in a pretty difficult place.

You can question Darby’s motivations, loyalties, sanity, all that kind of thing, but I don’t see a way to impugn his decision to notify the authorities that Crowder and McKay intended to create or had created bombs.

In the trial, the defense called up a story where Darby was a passenger in a van being driven by McKay. Darby and others wanted McKay to stop the van so they could go to the bathroom and smoke, but McKay refused. It got heated between McKay and a number of passengers, including Darby, as McKay refused to pull over. The defense intended to suggest a motive for getting McKay to do something that would result in his arrest. They didn’t succeed in persuading the jury, I would say, but the prosecutor scored a very good point by turning the story around: If Darby couldn’t even persuade McKay to stop driving so he and others could go to the bathroom, how likely was it that he could stop him from making and using bombs?

Anyone who feels the need to criticize Brandon Darby and his work when in NOLA, I wonder how you would have done in his shoes? How you would have been able to juggle it all? All of these comments reek of sour grapes, in my mind.
