Almost a year to the day before the Republican National Convention began, members of a self-described anarchist group gathered to talk about ways to disrupt it, including kidnapping delegates, sabotaging air vents at the Xcel Energy Center, blocking bridges and “capturing federal buildings” in Minneapolis and St. Paul.

. . . .

In addition to buckets of urine, investigators seized homemade devices used to disable buses and other vehicles, weapons, gas masks, flammable liquids and rags that could be used to make Molotov cocktails, computer storage devices, documents, pamphlets and banners. Some materials, such as banners and signs, were returned Monday for demonstrators to use during the protest marches. Albert Goins Sr., attorney for the plaintiffs, said they are likely to file an emergency appeal to get the rest of it back.

How completely typical of the left's base. They are so ready to preach tolerance as long as they are the one's being tolerated. So ready to demand free speech for themselves and to deny it to others. So ready to claim peace while they commit violence.

The poor need afordable housing - just not in my neighborhood!

TYPICAL LEFTIST PROGRESSIVE HYPOCRITES!!

Homeless housing plans at Fort Lawton ruffle Magnolia residents

Many residents in Seattle's affluent Magnolia neighborhood are fuming over plans to house homeless people near Discovery Park at soon-to-be-closed Fort Lawton.

At one community meeting, some residents wondered whether homeless housing at the fort would attract wife-beaters, sex offenders and crack addicts. They rolled their eyes when city officials asserted that such housing increases property values. They worried about the impact on schools and scoffed at the idea of homeless people shopping at the closest grocery — which sells pheasant-and-rosemary pâté for $9.99 and ground coffee for up to $18 a pound.

"We're the ones who live here, and we want to have a nice, safe neighborhood to live in," Donald Raz, a King County deputy prosecutor and Magnolia resident, said later.

It's okay to put these developments in YOUR neighborhood - but NEVER in the neighborhoods of these hypocrites. BTW - they want to take your money to pay for these developments. Rest assured that they will be spending their money to protect the endangered polar bear and the screech owl and loads of microbes that live in mud puddles.
