  @ GG in response to your comments on mine

  I am not assuming that everyone targeted and arrested is with this group. I am saying that anyone stupid enough to be affiliated with the RNC Welcoming Committee should expect this kind of treatment - not deserve - expect. The RNCWC is clearly not just planning a nonviolent human blockade. They intend to create chaos and disrupt the ability for this convention to be held. The state is not going to tolerate that.

  Yes, these home invasions are repulsive. Absolutely unacceptable. No advocacy group or other protester should be detained or arrested for any reason other than intentional violence.

  The police actions are understandable only if the group targeted is this RNC Welcoming Committee in the context of what they advertise are their goals on their website. That is only understandable in that they advertise a plan that obviously will entail violence. Anyone affiliated with that group should expect in a post-9/11 environment an excessively robust police response as a matter of fact that this is just the way our government now functions.

  It is extremely dissappointing and unacceptable that the lives of nonviolent protesters are affected by the outlandish efforts of a bunch of fake revolutionaries like the RNCWC and the now to be expected excessively robust response of the police state.
