If you ask me who (one of) the fed(s) was, it was probably this guy (on the right).
His sign advertises a website in support of the five social revolutionary extraordinaires who thought their talents would be best directed at blowing up a bridge outside of Cleveland. Though the Cleveland crew seems to have executed a plot handed to them by their friendly federal informant, the same is not the case with the ‘terrorism’ raid and arrests in Chicago the week before the summit. The three individuals charged as ‘terrorists’ under Illinois state law are not accused of having carried out any sort of attack, and it is known that a confidential informant tipped off the raid resulting in the multiple arrests. Both cases were introduced to the public alongside claims from law enforcement that the suspects were all ‘self-proclaimed anarchists’.
Stay tuned for more content from the action packed weekend.
