‘Nonviolence’ Explodes in Chicago

May 21, 2012 By 84 Comments

Authorities said the activities of Senakiewicz and Neiweem were unrelated to another bombing plot involving President Obama’s Chicago-based reelection campaign headquarters.

Three self-described anarchists were arrested Saturday after traveling from Florida to Chicago and allegedly plotting to attack Obama campaign offices, the home of Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel, and police stations. Molotov cocktails were allegedly involved.

The men have been identified as Brian Church, 22, of Fort Lauderdale; Jared Chase, 27, of Keene, N.H.; and Brent Betterly, 24, address unknown.

Their lawyers claim the accused men were patsies set up by authorities. “This is just propaganda to create a climate of fear,” defense attorney Michael Duetsch huffed.

Last week demonstrators led a “F*** the Police” protest action in Chicagoland as mask-wearing activists in black clothing carried communist and anarchist flags in hopes of winning the hearts and minds of Middle America. Leftists and union goons terrorized entire neighborhoods, provoking fisticuffs, creating makeshift barricades, dragging dumpsters into the streets, and upending garbage cans.

Less than a month ago several radicals were arrested in Cleveland after plotting to blow up a busy bridge over the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Self-described anarchists Douglas L. Wright, 26, Brandon L. Baxter, 20, and Anthony Hayne, 35, were charged with conspiracy and attempted use of explosive materials to damage physical property affecting interstate commerce. The other two plotters, Connor C. Stevens, 20, and Joshua S. Stafford, 23, were arrested and charged with similar crimes but were not identified as anarchists.

Wright and Baxter reportedly told an FBI informant that taking out a bridge would cause great financial distress. “Taking out a bridge in the business district would cost the … corporate big wigs a lot of money,” Baxter was quoted saying. The duo also talked about blowing up the NATO summit in Chicago, the upcoming Republican convention in Tampa, Florida, and a Cleveland casino, according to authorities.

Wright reportedly said previously that anarchists across the nation would eventually be “rioting and destroying” both Cleveland and Chicago. Cleveland would be reduced to “a pile of rubble and ashes” and Chicago would experience even more chaos, he was quoted saying.

None of this surprises Brandon Darby.

“On the Right we call out our crazies and marginalize them but on the Left they rally around them, attacking law enforcement and launching spin campaigns and doing everything they can to deify and humanize the perpetrator and to minimize the crime.”

“Maybe if the Left would stop defending such crazy actions … then we’d stop seeing such violent atrocities from their ranks,” Darby said.

    Gee, I guess Glenn Beck was right. I'm sure the media will line up and apologize to him any day now.

    Hmmmmm, why would the administration choose Chicago for this summit? They know Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dorn are there, waiting to stir up violence. They know what Occupy communists are capable of. They support them. So why Chicago? is it a gift to good, old Rahm? Or is it just a great place for political theater?

    "‘Nonviolence’ Explodes in Chicago " what wry irony. Great quip.

    Just another Saturday night in Chicago –
    " Who will march for justice for Timothy Scott? Or the ten victims of gun violence last weekend in Chicago? Or the dozens of other dead people killed around the country in random and not so random shootings? Each death every bit the monumental loss for that family as for the family of young Mr. Martin. Each killing wracking the neighborhood and community where the dead lay as the pain caused by Mr. Martin's death in Sanford, FL.

          Obama and his supporters will deny any relationship he has with Ayers and his old lady. The facts state otherwise. Obama's past is about as shady as it gets.

          • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLNn2YflwNs Roger

            Facts are so inconvenient that way.

          • Alinsky USA HERO

            What about the fact that Reagan was a New Deal democrat in 1948, even though you lie and say he was a conservative?

            F u c k i n g liar!! You have never known a fact in your life. Nor what sex with a girl feels like.

          • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLNn2YflwNs Roger

            Did he also fly ufo's into area 51?

          • Alinsky USA HERO

            No.

            So you are wrong and exposed as a liar.

            You are the perfect example of a conservative pathological liar that will not use facts and will use dishonest methods to support your racist agenda.

            And you made the claim that Reagan was a conservative in 1948 and refuse to show any facts supporting your claims.

            this is why I know you have neber had sex with a girl. Men who have had relationships with girlfriends growing up learn how to debate like men.

            You debate and lie like a little boy. You have arrested development.

            That the reason Cowboy Logic doesn't want you making comments on Navy's site. And it's why your older brother thinks you are a homo.

            I guess you have to work hard to pretend you are not in his eyes.

          • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLNn2YflwNs Roger

            Make up all you want. You have not shown Reagan was proud of the new deal and enjoyed participating in it.

            Reagan was a conservative democrat in 1948 before the party swerved to the left and 'left him behind'. It was the swerve to the left that made him join the republicans.

            And in 1948 FDR was dead and so was the new deal.

            I guess you have to work hard to pretend any relevance.

          • Alinsky USA HERO

            How do you know Reagan agreed with any changes to the New Deal in 1948. WHERE IS YOUR EVIDENCE??? WHAT HAVE YOU READ???

            In fact, if you listen to his campaign speeches for Hubert Humphrey (one of the most liberal New Deal Democrats in history) Reagan is ANGRY with the Republican attempts to make the New Deal more conservative.

            Then Reagan fought hard for and won FREE medical care for his UNION members shortly after 1948.

            So EVERYTHING on historical record completely CONTRADICTS your opinions and conjecture about what you think Reagan believed about the New Deal in 1948.

            And you refuse to give any quotes or facts to back up your opinions.

            You are a phoney. You are lying. You are the typical conservative that refuses to tell the truth, You are intellectually dishonest. You are a child.

            You embarrass yourself and other conservatives. That is why Cowboy Logic doesn't want you commenting on Navy's site.

            If you had ever been in a relationship ,with a woman, you might have outgrown your child-like debating tactics.

            You have arrested development, and are pathologically unable to accept it, even though just about EVERYBODY tells you the same thing.

            The closest you ever had to a friend was WeeTodd, and he hated you. Now that he is gone, you only have your stuffed Rat Ralph.

          • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLNn2YflwNs Roger

            There was no new deal in 1948. The war stopped it and with the death of FDR it was over.

          • Alinsky USA HERO

            That is a lie!!

            New Deal programs were very much in place and still working. We still have Social Security and Dwight D. Eisenhower left the New Deal largely intact. LBJ added even MORE programs to the New Deal.

            You are lying.

            You are a pathological liar.

            And EVEN if the New Deal was over in 1948, you STILL have shown that Reagan agreed with that. His quotes all contradict your claim.

            Refusing to admit you lied and are wrong, doesn't mean you don't lose. You LOST.

            Closing your eyes doesn't mean other can't see you. They can SEE you.

          • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLNn2YflwNs Roger

            You're showing how little you know.
            During the war all industrial output went into the war effort. People padded shoes with newspaper and cardboard, cars got jacked up for a lack of tires, it all went to the troops.

            Every able bodied man went and fought. FDR was dead, and it took only months for states to pass a constitutional amendment making sure he didn't happen again.

            After the war the GI bill allowed college education and the video you showed of Reagan was during that time. The republicans got elected and squandered it, that's what Reagan was mad about.

          • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLNn2YflwNs Roger

            You're showing how little you know.
            They passed a constitutional amendment to keep another FDR from happening.

            I have not shown that Reagan agreed with any of it. http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/r/ronal…

          • Alinsky USA HERO

            Those quotes are NOT from 1948. I said it a HUNDRED times…ypu have to show he disagreed with the New Deal being in decline in 1948.

            you are lying again. you are exposed again.

            Why won't you debate honestly??

            Because you know you are lying.

          • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLNn2YflwNs Roger

            And you can't show otherwise even in 1948.You can show that he didn't like the republicans wasting the time in office and not moving to stop inflation.You still lose. Want to rewrite some more?

          • Alinsky USA HERO

            He is making speeches for New Deal polices and didn't like Republicans wasting time with policies that were against the New Deal.

            That is proof.

            You on the other hand have not provided ANYTHING but your conjectures about what Reagan might have thought, even though there is nothing indicating he thought it.

            You are still trapped in your lie. try harder.

  • Jim_C

    You guys want SO BADLY for there to be violence and mayhem. But, awww, you're barely getting any!

    And when you do get some, it seems the perp wanted to go after Obama! Well, that just won't do! Obama's supposed to be the radical leftist puppetmaster! Why would they want to go after him? (Or, wait, that's Soros…)

    "Maybe they should protest blah blah blah…instead of blah blah blah." Who cares? I think these protests are silly enough without actually wishing things would come to harm. What the hell?

    • BLJ

      Sorry to burst your bubble there Jimbo, but no rational person wants to see any violence. I have no problem with people protesting peacefully. The anarchists who have showed up are looking for trouble and they deserve any police beat down that may come their way.

      BTW, how much is Soros paying you to post here?

      • Jim_C

        I actually agree with you.

        And…I'm stationed on Papa George's yacht right now off the shore of Lake Michigan. In between mimosas I detail marching orders to my minions.

  • mrbean

    I see we have a new version of winter soldiers marching uniform who throw their medals away in Chicago as part of the useful idiot riff raff. DoD should take their photos and if they have not completed their inactive reserve issue them all dishonorable discharges and allow the media to publish their namesunder the FOIA.

  • tagalog

    The MSM and Fox News have shown extensive film of the confrontation(s) between the Chicago PD and the demonstrators. There doesn't seem to have been a hell of a lot of violence, some sticks and stones thrown, a couple of people beaned with nightsticks, a few arrests for what seems to have been mostly obstreperous acting-out, and that seems to be it.

    I don't think the protests can exactly be called "peaceful," but I wouldn't exactly call what happened all that far out, just some kids (and some adults who should know better) being resistive to authority. The bottom line is that when the cops advanced the kids backed up. Nobody needed tear gas, no Illinois National Guard were visible, there were no rifles with fixed bayonets, no jeeps outfitted with frameworks of barbed wire, no arrest centers on public lawns, nothing like that. Mayor Daley would have called both sides a couple of pussies.

  • Ghostwriter

    Beatings,shootings,destruction of property. That was the OWS people seem to thrive on and fools like Jim_C seem to encourage such things.

    • trickyblain

      How has Jim C encouraged "such things"?

  • wctaqiyya

    From watching hours of live Ustream videos, I saw several motley groups of maybe a few dozen to perhaps a hundred mostly young people hiking aimlessly around Chicago. Sometimes they would chant about who's street it was, sometimes a few of them yelled 'no justice, no peace' at perplexed security guards. Most of the time, they were polite. Like when they hushed each other while hiking past a hospital or when asking a cop for directions. And they asked for directions a lot. Nobody had a map. Or a plan. Or a clue. No, they sort of had a plan, they were always asking each other, 'where are all the other guys?' Sure, a few were arrested, but the cops have bosses and the bosses have to justify overtime. Invariably, if they saw more than one or two cops in the street, they would immediately decide to hike in another direction. So, while the OWS children can be scary. The ones in Chicago this week-end weren't. Mr. Vadum, please take a chill pill and call me when something really exciting happens. Yawn.

  • Alinsky USA HERO

    But the question is Reagan's frame of mind in 1948.

    Why do you believe Reagan liked that the New Deal was not in existence after the war as you claim it is.

    I notice you are trying to shift the debate away from what Reagan thought of the New Deal in 1948 to an argument about whether the New Deal existed after the war.

    You must be using distraction tactic like that because you know you lied and are being exposed for it.

    Lets not let you re frame the debate just because you are trapped in a corner.

    • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLNn2YflwNs Roger

      • Alinsky USA HERO

        You explained your opinion about his frame of mind, but provide nothing that back of your claim.

        So where is your proof?

        I have sited many links that say he is a liberal democrat and there is nothing on the internet that says he changed his opinion about the New Deal in 1948.

        You are a pathological liar, and a great example of the evil of conservatives. you go by emotion and opinion instead of logic and facts.

          • Alinsky USA HERO

            No, there is nothing that backs your opinion that Reagan changed his mind about the New Deal in 1948.

            You made it up based on what you WANT to believe.

            There is nothing to suggest there was a new deal in 1948.

          • Alinsky USA HERO

            That is not the argument. You are just avoiding the issue and trying to create a distraction by changing the argument because you have nothing to back up your lie.

          • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLNn2YflwNs Roger

            It is the false premise of your argument.

            The new deal was dead as they shifted funding to the war effort.

          • Alinsky USA HERO

            Reagan is quoted in this conservative article that he believed in big government AFTER the war and supported New Deal big government AFTER the war.

            You still have not provided anything except what you WANT to believe. You never site anything that shows Reagan didn't believe in big government in 1948.

          • Alinsky USA HERO

            Ronald Reagan –

            "I thought government could solve all our postwar problems just as it had ended the Depression and won the war. I didn’t trust big business. I thought government, not private companies, should own our big public utilities; if there wasn’t enough housing to shelter the American people, I thought government should build it; if we needed better medical care, the answer was socialized medicine.”

          • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLNn2YflwNs Roger
