Three Occupy Protesters Arrested for making Improvised Explosive Devices to Confront Police With - Yea Thats Just Like the Tea Party Right?

Lets see here, on Sunday three Occupy Portland protesters were arrested by local police for having some marijuana and drug paraphernalia in their car, which was stopped for speeding. OK, no big deal right? When sheriff's deputies found some homemade improvised explosive devices in the car as well things got a little more interesting.

It seems three young men, Emery Luff (21), William Patterson (21) and Zachary Salzwedel-Kemp (20) were on the way to the Occupy Portland encampment because they knew the local authorities were saying the camp out had to end. These three decided they would use the "mortars" inside glass Mason jars like hand grenades. One admitted the idea was to throw them at the police when/if they tried to clear the camp. These guys went so far as to have gas masks and goggles. They were obviously serious about the issue.

For everyone who wondered how these Occupy protesters compared to the Tea Party organization simply think about it this way. Did you ever hear of a case when a Tea Party group actually planned to confront and attack law enforcement? You and I both know that if the media could have found such a story they would run it until the end of time. Municipalities are using bulldozers just to clear the trash left by these protests, when the Tea Party groups left a site is was cleaner than when they got there.

Again consider this, these three were 20 and 21 years old, how much could the giant corporate machine have damaged them? I suppose it was enough to warrant making improvised explosive devices to confront the police with.
