Article in NY Daily News

Just because this particular article refers to people disrupting the GOP Convention in NY doesn't mean similar techniques couldn't be used in Boston at the DNC Convention or on election day to prevent people from getting to the polls.

It only takes one person on the fringe to disturb things in a gigantic way. There are fringe groups on both ends of the spectrum who might take up these techniques. So how can we prevent them from disturbing our daily lives/conventions/gatherings/elections?

No, you will not see the same things in Boston.

The anarchist, violent leftie thugs won't be there.

Yes, there are. However, violent protests have normally been the domain of the left.

We shall see what happens. I expect not much disruptions in Boston,and I expect chaos in New York. As I stated in a previous thread, I will try to be there to test out my digital camera. I want bloody pictures of lefties being detained and beaten up, they are asking for it. And Yes, the article you linked to is indeed scary.

Any lame ass that f**s around trying to foil legitimate bomb-detection efforts of any kind deserves to be thrown in jail with as stiff a sentence as planting actual bombs would carry.

And if any actual terrorist event took place while some f-wit fringe-left lunatic has diverted police resources elsewhere, they should be held equally accountable as accessories to the act of terrorism.

I got a speeding ticket the other day while a man five miles away was being robbed and murdered. Obviously I'm guilty of murder, since I was diverting police resources... Honestly Crash, I know you know better than what you just wrote. Hell, why don't we just add charges related to 9/11 to the criminal record of every individual investigated by the FBI in 2001, because they were all diverting resources from preventing the attack.

You’re being purposefully obtuse and you know it.

Your example has absolutely NOTHING to do with this issue.

Purposefully trying to foil a bomb sniffing dog who’s task is to protect people FROM THE REAL THING, is hardly the same thing as your lame speeding ticket example.

If you’re really so dense that you can’t see the difference and would defend some lunatic who willfully puts others' lives in danger with such a stupid stunt, then you’re just hopeless. There’s a time and place to lose all the ridiculously P.C.-wacked out 'moral-relevance' and get some common sense already.

Falsely yelling "Fire!" in a crowded theatre and causing a stampede which injures or kills people is NOT ‘freedom of speech’. Never has been, never will be.

Likewise, creating false bomb threats that have the potential to make police miss the real thing is NOT ‘legitimate protest’. Never has been, never will be.

Sure, I agree with that and I agree that the groups mentioned in the article are deranged. But what you wrote went further. If police resources are diverted to deal with legitimate protestors, for example, those protestors can't be held accountable for crimes committed by others. I agree with with clarification you just posted, though

[CRASH HARDDRIVE]

There was no clarification needed.

Perhaps you just didn’t read the article. It’s not about legitimate protest, but wackos seeking to create false bomb ‘positives’ to burn out bomb-sniffing dogs, and other such stunts that endanger the lives of others and purposefully squander police resources that have nothing to do with anything they’re supposedly protesting.

Trying to disguise flat-out criminal acts as ‘protest’ just doesn’t cut it.
