3 #Occupy Activists Hit With Terrorism Charges at NATO Protests
Jared Chase from New Hampshire was one of the #Occupy protesters arrested on terrorism charges this week in Chicago.
Brent Vincent Betterly was also arrested earlier this year in Miami and charged with disorderly intoxication.
Three #Occupy activists were arrested and held on terrorism conspiracy charges in Chicago this week. The three leftists tried to make Molotov cocktails for attacks during the NATO Summit.
FOX News reported:
Three men arrested earlier this week when police raided a Chicago apartment were being held on terrorism conspiracy charges Saturday stemming from allegations that they tried to make Molotov cocktails ahead of the NATO summit, but the first major dress rehearsal of this weekend’s large-scale protests was relatively peaceful.
Chicago police Lt. Kenneth Stoppa said the men face a bond hearing later Saturday on charges of conspiracy to commit terrorism, possession of an explosive or incendiary device and providing material support. Stoppa identified the men being held as Brian Church, 20, of Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.; Jared Chase, 24, of Keene, N.H.; and Brent Vincent Betterly, 24. A police spokesman gave Betterly’s hometown as Oakland Park, Mass., but no such town exists. There is an Oakland Park, Fla., that is near Fort Lauderdale.

There’s a fourth hippie being charged with terrorism now, not necessarily connected with the original three.

Hope they weren’t just partying and drinking flaming shots, that would suck.
If they were making molotov cocktails, line them up against the wall and toss them at them.

“…the first major dress rehearsal of this weekend’s large-scale protests was relatively peaceful.”
They had a ‘dress rehearsal’ for a protest?
What? Really? To many drama majors involved? Trying to alleviate performance anxiety? Or maybe it was just the costume and makeup final check.
These people make my ass crave icewater.

Release Betterly. He looks like he would end up barbequing himself.

I reckon, as far as the “dress rehearsal” thingy goes, that the “protesters” (aka Obama thugs) were a bit surprised by the massive turnout of Chicago Police. 500 police turned out to almost outnumber the one group of nurses. The “Occupy” thugs that tore down a NATO banner on a bridge were quickly rounded up, too.
Chicago ain’t Berkley, folks. The cops there are NOT gonna put up with any shenanigans.

The bimbo from the National Lawyer’s Guild that’s representing these fine utes said that all the PD seized was beer making equipment.
I didn’t know you needed 93 octane to make Stout.

That may have been true 20 or 30 years ago. Today, the city is so lawsuit-shy that the CPD is almost completely hamstrung by rules and regulations. They’re barely allowed to take their nightsticks off their belts anymore.

I blame teh NOW.
When I was that age, I was “occupied” with satisfying my natural “urges” instead of thinking of ways to be destructive.
There’s gotta be some female,(ANY female),that hasn’t fallen victim to NOW’s itinerary of ridding this country of it’s masculinity.
Maybe some Phillipine mail order brides?
Those women would certainly pin the ears back on these dumbasses.

that they tried to make Molotov cocktails ahead of the NATO summit
Seriously? They had to try and weren’t successful?
How dim are these bulbs not knowing all you do is
1. Fill a bottle with gasoline
2. Insert a rag into the bottle opening
3. Light the rag and throw
Your typical 3rd World goof knows more than these fcuking HIPPIES!
