NATO 3 Facebook post: 'We're definitely gonna get our riots' CHICAGO, Jan. 30 (UPI) -- Prosecutors said Facebook comments between two activists showed they were gearing up for a confrontation with police at the 2012 NATO summit in Chicago. Prosecutors said weeks before the out-of-town protesters were arrested on terrorism charges, Brent Betterly anticipated "riots" and commented on the possibility of catching "some charges" and becoming a "fugitive," the Chicago Sun-Times reported Thursday. Authorities accused Betterly posted "U can't apologize after throwing a Molotov cocktail," to a friend days before he allegedly made crude firebombs with Brian Church, 22, and Jared Chase, 29. "We're definitely gonna get our riots," Betterly allegedly wrote to someone else via Facebook. Betterly, 24, of Oakland Park, Fla.; Brian Church, 22 of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and Jared Chase, 28, of Keene, N.H., were indicted on charges that include conspiracy to commit terrorism, possession of explosives and attempted arson. Known as the NATO 3, they were arrested soon after allegedly assembling four firebombs with the two undercover cops four days before world leaders gathered in Chicago. The trial began Jan. 21. Defense attorney Molly Armour wanted to tell jurors that Betterly often erroneously called large protests riots, but instead tried to convince the panel Betterly wasn't violent, the Sun-Times said. The defense also said Church, who expressed a desire to be on the "front lines" in Chicago, posted on Facebook he had a "soft spot for all living things" and was against violence. On May 15, 2012--the day before the three men were arrested -- Betterly logged onto Facebook to vent about Chicago Police officers who stopped the men during a traffic stop. "Got the [expletive] pigs etched into my brains," Betterly allegedly wrote. I thought it was kind of cute. They must be so afraid of scaaaary protesters.
