What I enjoy about the criminal anarchist's mind is the full preparation they enjoy. After a nice trip to your neighborhood WalMart to buy gas cans, lighters, etc., (which I would assume this type of person would be repulsed by corporate America), these two and others evidently where being followed by the Feds. If there is one thing I know, the Feds generally don't mess around with guys who buy "terrorist" type equipment while there just happens to be a political convention in town. The Feds fire first, and then let the court/lawyers sort it out. And that is what they did, here.I do like the AP article stating that these two participated in a march "dressed in black with sticks." Sticks? Really? Don't look for these two to come home any time soon.
Austin men to fight detention in Minneapolis today

The lawyer for one of two Austin men accused of building Molotov cocktails with the intent of disrupting the Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minn., last week said he will ask a judge today to release his client pending trial.
Assistant U.S. attorneys in Minnesota are seeking to have David Guy McKay, 22, and Bradley Neil Crowder, 23, held in jail without bail. U.S. Magistrate Judge Franklin L. Noel in Minneapolis has scheduled a preliminary hearing and detention hearing on both cases for 1:30 p.m. today.
“He strikes me as a nice kid and he strikes me as a kid who everyone is kind of surprised is in the position he is in,” McKay’s lawyer, Jeff DeGree of Minneapolis, said this morning.
DeGree said that McKay’s father, who lives in Midland, has traveled to the Twin Cities and will testify that McKay can live with him pending trial.
Asked if his client is dangerous, DeGree said: “I don’t think so. There’s nothing in his history that suggests that.
“Obviously this situation raises some concern.”
