True North

Don't try this at home, kids...I'm a trained professional.

I stopped by the anarchist headquarters on Smith St. tonight, with the hope that someone might have found a way around Dave Thune's patronage, if you catch my drift.

Although there was no law enforcement activity, my time was rewarded with some choice video of the legal giants from the National Lawyers Guild in action. These fellows are walking advertisements for the adage "you get what you pay for".

Keep in mind, that I was wearing (in case the police did show up) a 100% authentic RNC press credential.

Despite that, the anarchists came the conclusion that I must be an undercover police officer, and decided to confront me. In fact, you'll see one "attorney" claim that he remembers seeing me at the Friday night raid on their HQ. The fat man with the big mouth that offered to damage my equipment identified himself as Lawrence A. Hildes, Attorney at Law. According to the business card Mr. Hilders gave me, he earns a living preying on the mentally challenged that hire him in Bellingham, WA.

The smarmy little fellow in the green shirt that tested my patience is known to me as Michael Cavlin, a local nutcase that was the Green Party's candidate for US Senate until the dope ran out and everyone sobered up.

Pay close attention to how many times these "lawyers" offer to commit crimes....and notice their behaviors. The scrawny guy that was kind enough to allow his offer to commit a felony to be recorded was at least smart enough to remain unidentified.

After watching this film clip, the next time you see a news report where an NLG attorney gets in front of a camera to tell you with outraged indignation and shining eyes, that he, she, or their clients were mercilessly attacked while knitting peace sign doilies, you will have another perspective to remember.

Remember; these people thought I was a cop....how do you think they behave with the citizens at large?
