More at http://www.theuptake.org. Michelle Gross of Communities Against Police Brutality was the victim of a burglary...and she's hinting strongly that she thinks someone from the government did it.

She and her husband were detained by police in St. Paul on Fri. 8/29/08 while attending an organizing meeting of activists protesting the RNC in the Twin Cities. They were not arrested, and eventually released. However, they returned home to find their garage and car had been burglarized. Nothing was taken, but documents and belongings had been searched. Interviewed at a gathering in Powderhorn Park on 8/30/08.

3. It's only a matter of time before they break into the wrong house, the wrong garage...
And some good citizen, who has done nothing wrong, protects themselves and reduces a couple of these 'Nazis" to chalk outlines on the ground with one of the many products our second amendment rights allows us to own.

Something along the line of a 9mm Glock or a .357 variety.

Only a matter of time.

5. sadly..
they'll be enough of them to fire back and kill the person who had done nothing wrong, and the fascists will kill everyone in the house and leave...

this really is HUGE news, and of course, no one's reporting on it (yet).

4. fuk'n fascist pricks. they feel exhilirated waving guns in people's faces
and forcing people to the ground like you would an unruly animal! this gives them kicks... this woman needs to go before her Senator and demand an investigation be pushed for, and other contacts called, I know it's a lot to ask of her, but she seems willing. GOD bless her and protect her from the brownshirts...

7. That is the point. The police made sure they were NOT home
when the alleged burglary happened.

8. This is Fascism. This is an Atrocity. This is why we have the Bill of Rights.
And, this is why Fascism must end in the US. Bush, Cheney, and Pelosi Must Be Impeached Immediately... Fascism must end. Tyranny and abuse of power must cease. Basically Ms. Gross had a warrant issued against her because of her political involvement. That would mean an abuse of power, and a violation of the Fourth Amendment: http://www.usconstitution.net/const.html#Am4

Amendment 4 - Search and Seizure. Ratified 12/15/1791.

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

This is an unreasonable search.

9. The RNC is up to something
It's blatently obvious someone in the gov't was searching
their house for documents or videos relating to an incident
that previously occurred to cover up their tracks, or seeking
out locations where CAPB would be filming and jotting down
notes during the convention.
