First they bust down the door and arrest the owner of the house.

Then the City inspector arrives and proceeds to board up the house because the door is broken.

When lawyers arrive and ask the inspector if he got the owner's permission, the inspector said the owner was unavailable (in jail).

Listen to Bruce Nestor of the National Lawyers Guild talk about the raid.

1. Conspiracy to commit riot. Does that mean the cops are conspiracy theorists?

What a bunch of crap. The police state is totally out of control!

2. Does anyone

Have a defined reason as to why these police view these potential protestors as such a grave threat to their community to justify the semi automatic rifles and the general "swat" demeanor of these raids? And when will the National press report on these injustices to prevent innocent people from being persecuted?

3. Well spoken!

Thanks for posting this. It is important that people see what is happening to our rights as American citizens. It isn't just Guantanamo bay where people don't have rights.

4. What an intelligent, well thought out commentary

by this lawyer. I'm impressed. I sure don't like to see our civil rights violated like what happened here. Isn't the right to Peaceful Assembly guaranteed somewhere? Generally you need some type of parade permit to and an agreed upon route for your protest but we are entitled to march. I think this Homeland Security thing must not have a hell of a lot else to chase around if they are going after these folks. Too bad they weren't watching, Prince Bandar's wife and all her donations to Arabic charities in the run up to 9/11 like they are watching a few kids planning a protest. These hopped up cops will be giving us another Kent State, shoot first ask questions later, situation, just for the amusement of George and Prick, oops Dick.

5. Butlikely they did see those donations to Arab charities,and doubled theirs.
