While Glenn suggests this is a run of the mill protest, the RNC Welcoming Committee suggests otherwise (www.nornc.org).
Just a few excerpts:
Under the "Goals" heading.
"Crash the Convention – We didn’t get an invitation, but we’re showing up anyway....Together, we can derail the purely ceremonial show of this repressive system and remake it with our own hands and according to our own visions."
Under "How we get there."
"2. Transportation Troubles – This includes blockades downtown (at key intersections), on bridges (10 bridges over the Mississippi River in the metro area), and other sporadic and strategic targets (busses, hotel and airport shuttles etc)."
Check out the website for yourself. These aren't a group of kids painting signs to wave in front of the convention.
