Anarchist Group Buys Tasers - Republican Convention Targeted
I told you about “Recreate ‘68” before, and will continue to follow their activities leading up to and during the Democratic National Convention in Chicago this August. There is another group similar to Recreate ‘68, made up of many of the same people called “The RNC Welcoming Committee“…I’ve told you about them, also.
The RNC Welcoming Committee describes itself as:
“The RNC Welcoming Committee is an anarchist / anti-authoritarian organizing body preparing for the 2008 Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minnesota.”
On the front page of their website this week appeared a story with the following headline:
RNC WELCOMING COMMITTEE ORDERS TASERS FOR EVERY PROTESTOR
One excerpt from that article, which I have reprinted below, says:
Once the RNC-WC order is finalized, the St. Paul Police Department will no longer have a monopoly on the weapons that have been implicated in hundreds of deaths nationwide, including the killing of a Fridley man by Minnesota State Troopers in January.
What is disturbing is not that they have tasers…well, ok, that is disturbing, but even more so is the statement above. This statement demonstrates that they have a clear knowledge of the possibility of inflicting serious bodily harm and even death on people (Cops) who may try to uphold the law, establish public peace and safety, and maintain control of a crowd of self-confessed anarchists (remember Seattle?).
Read the article form their website below. Rest assured, Louie is watching these groups.
MINNEAPOLIS/ST. PAUL - The RNC Welcoming Committee (RNC-WC), an anarchist and anti-authoritarian organizing body based in the Twin Cities, announced today that it has ordered tasers for each of its members and friends. The announcement comes on the heels of last month’s St. Paul City Council approval of a St. Paul Police Department (SPPD) request for 234 tasers. Due to a unique corporate-anarchist confidentiality agreement, the exact number of tasers or documentable evidence of this new order will not be disclosed.
Both the SPPD and RNC-WC taser orders are scheduled to arrive before the September 1 so-called Republican National Convention (RNC) in St. Paul. However, “The RNC Welcoming Committee’s order of tasers has absolutely nothing to do with the upcoming Republican convention,” said Ann O’ Nymmity of the RNC-WC. “These deadly, yet humane, weapons are needed simply to protect the safety of members of our community on a day-to-day basis. The timing is purely a coincidence.”
Last month, St. Paul police spokesperson Tom Walsh made similar statements to the Associated Press, saying that in regards to the RNC, his department’s purchase is “in no way related [to the timing of the RNC in St. Paul]. It simply isn’t.”
Notice how these pukes mock the Law Enforcement authorities’ statement? One difference between the anarchists and Cops is that these idiots will not behave with the same restraint and responsibility as Police Officers.
During scheduled protests of the RNC, local police and federal agents are likely to get violent. In Minneapolis last August, police used tasers and pepper spray to attack a nonviolent Critical Mass bike ride which coincided with the “pReNC”, a weekend of radical organizing in preparation for the RNC.
The RNC-WC does not have state-approved funding revenues. O’ Nymmity explained: “Our plan is to finance the purchase through raids on local WMD manufacturers, such as Alliant Techsystems.” The SPPD is funding their taser purchase through $210,000 from drug raids. O’ Nymmity added:
“Through their website, the RNC Welcoming Committee is also accepting contributions from the public.”
Tasers, manufactured by Taser International, Inc., range from $300 to $1,000 and the fashionable weapons come in a variety of styles, including “black pearl,” “electric blue,” “metallic pink,” “leopard print,” and “forest camo.” O’ Nymmity noted, “We imagine St. Paul police will be visiting us soon, and now we’ll have something to talk about when they do. For instance, I can’t wait to compare my leopard print model to St. Paul police deputy chief Matt Bostrom’s metallic pink one!”
A demo of the consumer Taser C2:
Once the RNC-WC order is finalized, the St. Paul Police Department will no longer have a monopoly on the weapons that have been implicated in hundreds of deaths nationwide, including the killing of a Fridley man by Minnesota State Troopers in January.
The Welcoming Committee has no plans to purchase machine guns, rubber bullets, pepper spray, tear gas, concussion grenades, batons, water cannons or helicopters, all of which will be at the disposal of local police and federal agents in September.
O’ Nymmity concluded, “Convention delegates and attendees should feel free to enjoy their five-star hotels, three-course meals, and “gentleman’s clubs” without fear of protest or disruption. After all, if they follow the law and don’t start any illegal wars or anything, what should they have to worry about?”

“RNC WELCOMING COMMITTEE ORDERS TASERS FOR EVERY PROTESTOR”
I wonder just how they plan to get hold of enough of these for every protester when the company requires a background check for every person and has to send a passcode to activate the tasers.
Also the cost to outfit every protestor will be far more than thiese dumbasses are willing to spend.
Personally I would be more inclined to believe that the protesters would be all givin a handgun, before I’d believe some puke would pop for several hundred tasers.
March 24th, 2008 at 9:04 amAnarchists are idiots. have fun living in a society with zero structure or enforced laws. Guess then they wouldnt be made fun of for not working and being lazy pieces of shits all day.
March 24th, 2008 at 9:05 amAs for this recreate 68 horseshit. it will be interesting to see how many of them actually come out and to see how fast todays law enforcement will react to them given that they have plenty of time to prepare. I hope they get squashed
Yes, recreate ‘68, go right ahead. Nixon’s overwhelming triumph was due in part to all of the leftist rioters. Way to go, dopes.
March 24th, 2008 at 9:21 amThis is proof of why giving children “Time Outs” and being their “Friend” instead of their PARENT don’t work.
March 24th, 2008 at 9:22 amI wonder how they are getting around that whole background check for the activation code thing.
March 24th, 2008 at 10:04 amColorado has CCW so hopefully the locals will be out in force ready to meet electricity with hollow points if they see someone being attack.

March 24th, 2008 at 12:08 pmYeah, I hope they try recreating 68. The Chicago cops had a field day busting hippie skulls.
March 24th, 2008 at 1:51 pmThese depraved idiots are wishing for a death sentence.
March 24th, 2008 at 4:44 pmAs soon as one of them attacks a cop or anybody, full force should be applied.
Drop them!
They tried this shit in NYC during the ‘04 convention. Hundreds, if not thousands, got the shit kicked out of them and spent the weekend in a cage. Denver might let them pull shit, but I doubt St. Paul will. I haven’t know very many guys from Minnesota, but none of them seemed like hand-wringing types.
March 24th, 2008 at 5:59 pmI’m hoping the cops have the OC foggers ready. Looks like a slightly overweight fire extinguisher except it puts out a small cloud of OC. Oleoresin Capsicain being in my opinion worse than tasering since tasering ends when you let up on the button. OC goes away in half an hour or so and then reactivates when you take a shower.
So I figure a few days after getting sprayed these guys are in for a fun suprise.

Sully 0811: So I figure a few days after getting sprayed these guys are in for a fun suprise.” That’s funny. What a great way to say “stinking hippies”!
March 24th, 2008 at 6:51 pmAny dumbass that goes after a cop with a taser, will be shot with a glock. it is that simple.
March 24th, 2008 at 8:59 pmsomething tells me that I got “a small cloud of OC. Oleoresin Capsicain” on my pseudo, why is it that the lofty’s passed through ?
March 25th, 2008 at 10:55 amDon’t Taz me Bro!!!
March 26th, 2008 at 11:51 amSorry guys and gals, but I had to since no one else did
March 26th, 2008 at 11:51 amAny dumbass that goes after a cop with a taser, will be shot with a glock. it is that simple.
*****
I was thinking the same thing. Another question is, what does a cop do if he/she sees a hippie tasing somebody for no apparent reason? If somebody tried to tase me and I was armed, I’d surely put a new hole in them.
Hippies! Precisely the kind of idiot buys a taser and goes looking for trouble amidst an auditorium full of conservatives. Let the bloodbath begin!
March 30th, 2008 at 11:51 amjust like a hippie to bring a taser to a gunfight!
April 8th, 2008 at 7:42 pmThese clowns are planning a riot, so the prosecutors in Denver and St. Paul ought be able to get more time for them due to premeditation and aggravation. No weekend in jail…5 years minimum. See if they can explain their idiotic ideas to Bubba their cellmate.
May 12th, 2008 at 2:45 pmhey. this was a joke. the wc just has a great sense of humor.
