3 protesters charged with conspiracy to commit terrorism
Three NATO Summit protesters have been arrested and charged with possession of an explosive device and conspiracy to commit terrorism, police said.
Sources said the protesters were suspected of building Molotov cocktails — bottles filled with flammable liquid that are used as firebombs.
The three men were identified by police and their attorneys as Brian Church, 20, of Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.; Jared Chase, 24, of Keene, New Hampshire; and Brent Vincent Betterly, 24, of Oakland Park, Fl.
They were charged early Saturday as dozens of dignitaries from around the globe are heading to Chicago for the NATO Summit. The men have a noon bond hearing Saturday, their lawyers said.
The men have been each charged with three felony counts: possession of an explosive or incendiary device, conspiracy to commit terrorism, and providing material support to terrorism, said Harrison District Police Lt. Kenneth Stoppa.

Women are expected to be nice and sweet, to make other people feel comfortable. A woman who says ‘hey, I think there’s a problem here’ is being ‘negative.’ A woman who doesn’t smile while she’s being harassed is ‘humourless.’ A woman who prefers to stay focused on tasks is a ‘cold bitch.’ Significant gendering is involved here; women have an obligation to look and act a certain way and when they don’t, they need to be hassled until they do.

The anarchist “terrorists” arrested in a May Day plot were supplied by the FBI and an informant with a lengthy criminal record.
Another example of the FBI “thwarting terrorist plots” it helped create.
Read the full story, and how it relates to the broader demonization of anarchists.

Another City is Possible, Another World is Possible.
A group of Palestinian youth decided to protest at the gates of the United Nations Ramallah Common Premises, unwilling to allow employees to get in. The group demanded that UN employees take immediate action to save the lives of Palestinian prisoners in Israel. Especially the ones in advanced stages of hunger strike, and those who are ill and still striking. They also plead that the UN employees make the enemy state comply to the demands of the freedom prisoners which are all compatible to the international human law and the third and fourth Geneva Accords.
freedom to all freedom prisoners!

He was a buddhist monk in vietnam who set himself on fire as a form of protest against the south vietnam government for persecution of Buddhists. This is probably the ultimate statement and protest that one can do.
