Their paranoia is showing ...

Police raided a rental hall used by a group organizing protests at the Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minnesota, on Friday.

The RNC Welcoming Committee, which describes itself as "anarchist/anti-authoritarian," accused St. Paul police of trying to disrupt their protest planned for Monday, the day the GOP convention is set to begin.

While no one was arrested, the group said police temporarily detained and photographed at least 50 people who were inside the building.

St. Paul Police spokesman Tom Walsh said they were executing a search warrant.

"The cause for the search warrant is not public at this time," Walsh said.

As many as 30 police officers entered with guns drawn, according to witnesses in the building.

"The convergence center is simply a gathering place and is not used for illegal actions -- it is a place for workshops and trainings," a statement from the protest group said. "Tonight, we were watching films and sharing food."

"We are now accused of a simple fire code violation," the statement said.

Now what I want to know are where are the reports of raids on those protesting at the DNC in Denver last week ... oh, wait there are none.

A few 'good ol'boys' planning to kill the Democratic nominee and had the arsenal to do it are treated like 'boys will be boys' and a room full of liars were left alone by the police in Denver at the discretion of a repugican U.S. attorney.
But lord, in Minneapolis there are people watching a movie - send in S.W.A.T!
Want to bet there is a repugican U,S. attorney in Minneapolis as well?!
