FBI too busy targeting anti-war, social justice, and earth activists.
How ironic.. they ignore threats and organizing of "home-grown" terrorists because they are targeting "abortion clinics" and "abortion doctors".. even after these people/groups.. have bombed, committee arson, stalk, harassed. etc.

(A man rammed his SUV into Planned Parenthood clinic in St. Paul, MN several times and where is the FBI? ) http://rnc08report.org/archive/726.shtml

Yet FBI target, infiltrate, lie, pressure other agencies, prosecute, anti-war, social justice, civil-rights, and earth activists. (Ramsey Co. Sheriff's dept has missing money, cars, large items)

I wonder how many of these FBI agents are fundamentlists, and feel it is their "christian duty" to select who they protest and who the prosecute?


Call MN's Ramsey Co District Attorney to Dimiss all charges on those arrested during the RNC.. so that the fbi agents who like to sit in the court room all day to intimidate those accused.

Call (651)266-8510 and tell Mayor Chris Coleman’s office that the city of St. Paul must hold police accountable for their actions and brutality during the RNC and that all charges against protesters be dropped.

Call (651)266-3222 and demand that Ramsey County Attorney Susan Gaertner drop the Felony charges against almost 2 dozen RNC protesters and that you are watching the “RNC 8″ case very closely. Demand that her office not prosecute protest organizers as “terrorists”.

It is beyond sickening.

1. some personal stories of those arrested
Help Dave!
Dave Mahoney, 23, was temporarily in the US and due to return to his home in England before the new year. He was arrested by the FBI during the Republican National Convention (RNC) in September 2008, and has been charged with 3 counts of aiding and abetting 2nd degree assault and 3 counts of terrorist threats, for an incident that has the loosest connections imaginable to a so called assault. Trapped in Minneapolis, Dave now faces expensive legal costs and over 20 years in prison. As numerous RNC related charges are dropped, it is clear to the community in the Twin Cities that Susan Gaertner - the prosecutor of all RNC related felonies- is desperate to justify the temporary police state in St Paul while providing a framework for her run for governor in 2010. Dave, currently out on bond, remains determined and active within his community. He could be separated from his loved ones for a long time and needs all the support he can!

*
Monday morning in Ramsey County District Court, RNC activist Dave Mahoney pled – under pressure and significant duress – to a single count of second degree assault, a felony. Instead of going to trial on the 10 felony counts stemming from a single invented incident, Dave and the office of Ramsey County Attorney Susan Gaertner agreed to a plea bargain. Given the disproportionately ferocious, political prosecution, Dave and his attorney evidently found it in their best interest to agree to a 90-day cap on jail time, reduction of the (single) felony charge to a gross misdemeanor after the sentence is served, and the ability for Dave to return to his native England after the jail term. With credit for good behavior and time served, Dave is looking at 56 days or less in jail, as opposed to the decades possible if he had lost at trial.

2. the fbi has not been ignoring the anti-abortion groups.
to say so does`t do justice to the agents who have tracked these people for years. to say that the agents in in charge are fundamentalists who would look the other way knowing that people would be injured or killed is childish.

the anti abortion movement was one of the main groups that the fbi tracked during the 90`s. the focus of the fbi then changed during the last 8 yrs because of the "war on terror". instead of domestic terror they focused on foreign terrorism whether in the usa or abroad. now the focus will be changed with obama`s fbi and justice dept.

the problem with the anti abortion terrorist`s are they are very smart,well organized,and have people who are willing to support them across the country. the biggest failure of the social activists,anti war and other left groups they are not very smart in weeding out the informants and provocateurs. it`s time for the people in this movement to learn from the mistakes of my generation of activists. i realized years later that one of my high schools friends that i shared many a night getting high and discussing the my joining the sds was an fbi informant.
