#1 Is there any way we can nab these hillbillies, and send them to Singapore for an "atitude readjustment"?

#2 What a convenient cover for terrorists-imitate the anarchist protestors and infiltrate a huge public event.

#3 Hold the people and if a bomb gets in and kills anyone charge them with aiding and abetting an terrorist act -- send them to prison for 20 years....

I say we send them to the North Korean 'Workers Paradise'......

#4 ""There is the same hard-core element that we have seen move from city to city where violence has marred protests," another police source said."

What about a good old fashion act of pre-convention "police brutality"/shit pounding. If they know who these creeps are. The Liberals will have no problem with that.

#5 As a NYer, I am sure I will be tempted to beat any jackass I see wearing a black mask or Palestinian kuffiyah or Phish t-shirt on my way to work. Good thing I don't have to commute through Penn Station.

#6 bring in cops that were related to or friends of people who died in the 9/11 attacks. Issue them large batons, helmets, shields and loose ROE. Let the head-cracking begin!

#7 Things like this are why the GOP wanted a zone cleared of pedestrian traffic around the convention. Bloomberg the RINO would have none of this. Watch what happens if a terrorist attack actually occurs during the convention.

#8 Although how much intelligence you'll find in Boston is open to question.

Nice kick to the balls, Steve-o... :-)

Watch what happens if a terrorist attack actually occurs during the convention.

They'll just Blame Bush^TM, no surprise there...

#9 I'm with Frank on this. We have neglected these children for too long and now we have to take these guys 'clubbing.' Let the Oakland PD in for fun, they are quick to reach for the baton. I would also suggest a large contingent of South Korean Police. They excel at kicking ass and taking names. Also private citizens should be allowed immunity from prosecution it they wail on one (or more)of these anarchists. Offering a bounty for each one turned in would also whittle down their number.

#10 Yawn! These "Black Bloc" idiots run at the first hint of the police. Question: if they run like hell from the San Francisco PD, how are they going to react to the NYPD? Answer: they aren't going to do a damn thing. Left Wing Anarchists are like an ocean storm: full of sound and fury signifying nothing.

Now, if it were Right Wing Anarchists threatening something it would be an entirely different matter....

#11 It's insane to have the convention at this particular location, given what the intel is now indicating.

#12 Anymouse,when they are arrested,they spend a night in jail,released on own recognizance,and get a suspended sentence and maybe small fine.To put a stop to most of the idiots they need to serve a 3-5yr.hard-time sentence.Make it a three strikes deal-get arrested three times for civil disobedience(anywhere US),get mandatory 3yr.jail time.

#13 I don't know if 3-5 years is really necessary. Even one month in a maximum security prison should be enough. Not a prison for stock fraud, but one with murderers and gang members.

This is your ass before prison -----> o
This is your ass after prison -------> O

Any questions?

#14 I DON'T see this as "Fury", I see this as the NYPD having their act together. Unlike Boston, which is cherry to this kind of event (and at which I think the gods of chaos are plotting against them), the New Yorkers are experienced and savvy to the hard cases.
When it has its act together, the NYPD is a formidable army. I imagine morale is still quite high--a holdover from Giuliani--which means that each and every cop will enthusiastically strive to maintain order. I mean, heck, they're so intent on keeping it together they are doing *research*, for crying out loud.

Look to Boston for disaster. Look to NY for a happy little gathering of friends.

#15 One reason San Diego is one of America's finest cities is that our cops would just shoot the bastards.
