What is the phrase? “if you don’t stand behind our troops/government/police/whatever, then feel free to stand in front of them”? If our government and its enforcement agencies stand for silencing dissenters, than I would much rather stand in front of them with a raised fist than cringe behind them like a coward… something you are no stranger to w00t I am certain.

Where would our country be if unpopular dissenters were not persistent and radical? Did you know less than 25% of the entire nation supported the Boston Tea Party, and even less condemned the actions of the British during the Boston Massacre? Unpopular dissent is the key ideal this nation was founded upon, and for you to make light of the efforts of these people to be heard puts you in league with the Crown Loyalists of the 1770’s… certainly a very un-American camp to be associated with isn’t it w00t?

Do some research, a majority of our founding fathers were decidedly Libertarian/Anarchist in principles

A man who sacrifices an ounce of liberty in exchange for security deserves neither liberty nor security

Wow, Woot: Are you a member of the prosecution? How do you know what evidence there is against these kids?

Anyway, these kids made a big mistake: if they would have plotted to kill the Democratic candidate for president, rather than just mess up the RNC convention, they might have gotten a break.

It pays to be on the “right” side.

Huh. Well, after the discovery phase, we'll ALL have a little better picture of what those kids had. I would guess it won't equal what your guys in Denver had.

And they didn't have “caltrops” or buckets of urine, they had the wingnut party favors of choice- meth and guns.

Unfortunately for the "minnesota 9", the prosecution is in possession of physical evidence (caltrops & etc.), electronic and written correspondence and the testimony of LEO's that had infiltrated the RNCWC. None of which was available to the Illinois prosecutors.

While our lefty domestic terrorists seem not to have learned a thing since '68, the police have been taking graduate courses.

I'm guessing that, with good behavior, these little assholes might see the light of day again in, oh, three years or so.
