What a relief it was, because he was a relentless, versatile driver with a fantastic record of success...
...allegedly members of the RNC Welcoming Committee, a self-described anarchist group that was the target of weekend police sweeps. After police and FBI authorities entered suspected Welcoming Committee buildings with battering rams and guns drawn, they confiscated items purportedly used to make Molotov cocktails, along with pipes, smoke bombs, shields, spray paint, bricks, ignitable liquid, maps of downtown St. Paul and even feces and urine, according to one Hennepin County search warrant...
