Fury at anarchist convention threat

[papau]

Seems some folks on the internet plan on planting terrorism decoys - gunpowder or ammonium nitrate-laced tablets - so as to halt trains/subways, perhaps get an evacuation of the Convention site , via the Police dog response - plus some folks plan violent disruptions.

Fury at anarchist convention threat

'These hard-core groups are looking to take us on. They have increased their level of violence.' - Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly

By PATRICE O'SHAUGHNESSY DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER

The NYPD aims to keep things well in hand during the convention.

"Where is the legitimate protest in trying to endanger the public?" an angry ­Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly told The News.

Fringe elements are hoping to spark major disruptions at the Republican National Convention with a series of sneaky tricks - including fooling bomb-sniffing dogs on trains bound for Penn Station, the Daily News has learned.

Internet-using anarchists are telling would-be troublemakers to decoy specially trained Labrador retrievers with gunpowder or ammonium nitrate-laced tablets in a bid to halt trains or even spur the evacuation of Madison Square Garden.<snip>

1. Why does Kelly deliberately confuse...

legitimate protest and endangering the public?

There could be half a million people in NYC protesting the convention, and a couple dozen anarchists doing this shit. I know that doesn't make his job easy, but to throw everyone in the same basket with this rhetoric is uncalled for propaganda.

2. what he forgot

to say is that there will be fbi agents planted among the fringe to provoke violence..it`s an old trick and the fbi still uses it...

4. If anyone sees anything like this on the net

Please be sure to inform them of the stupidity, and of the likely COINTELPRO origin of the ideas.
