OK, Boys, Set Your Nightsticks on "Whomp."

Those famous words were spoken by Chief Wiggum in The Simpsons' "D'oh-in' in the Wind" espisode, and I think it's time for the Chief of Police in St. Paul to issue the same order. Here's a report from Powerline:

The first day of the RNC was fun but muted. One group, though, wasn't deterred from pursuing its agenda by events in the Gulf. The Communist/anarchist/truther/pro-Obama protesters were out in force, committing various crimes and attempting to disrupt the proceedings.

The most shocking events are described by Jim Hoft, who was on a bus that was attacked from above when a group of protesters dropped sand bags on to the top of the bus. This is attempted murder: if the protesters had succeeded in hitting the windshield, a sand bag would have crashed through and killed the driver. The resulting accident would have killed or injured others on the bus. To my knowledge, the left-wingers/would-be murderers were not caught.

A little later, a busload of Cub Scouts were en route to the convention, where they were to present the colors to open the convention. A group of protesters--liberals, Obama supporters, or whatever--blocked the road, surrounded the bus, and attacked it, rocking the bus back and forth, denting and scratching the sides, and generally terrifying the children trapped inside. The left-wing protesters attacked a number of buses in the same way, but there is something especially despicable about attacking a group of Cub Scouts.

In addition to this, bleach was thrown in the faces of some Connecticut delegates and an 80-year old female delegate had to be hospitalized.

Once again I quote Chief Wiggum: "Eh, it's time for an old-fashioned hippie ass-whomping!"

Exactly. If they want to Re-create 68, let's give them the 2008 version of the Chicago Police Department.
