Left Wing Terrorist Has Been Apprehended

San Francisco Political Consultant Charged With Explosives Possession

A San Francisco political figure has been charged with possessing explosives following a manhunt that ended in his arrest Monday.

Ryan Kelly Chamberlain II allegedly had in his apartment an improvised explosive device "designed to maim or kill," according to a federal criminal complaint unsealed Tuesday.

The FBI issued an alert Sunday saying that Mr. Chamberlain, a local campaign consultant and social-media strategist, was wanted and considered armed and dangerous.

According to the criminal complaint, FBI agents found components of an IED in a messenger bag, including a model rocket motor lodged within a green powdery substance in a jar; ball bearings and screws "believed to be intended projectiles"; an igniter; and a circuit board configured as a remote-control receiver.

Mr. Chamberlain was apprehended by San Francisco police and FBI spokesman Peter Lee said "we do not believe at any time the public safety was threatened."

Mr. Lee declined to say what tipped agents off, but an apparent suicide note was posted on an iCloud account bearing Mr. Chamberlain's name. The source of the message couldn't be independently verified.

Is there no such thing as a right wing extremist who might be a potential threat?

(Careful, it's a loaded question.)

He Taught at University of San Francisco

On Social Media He Seems Like a Regular Guy



KTVU has learned Chamberlain was involved in sports marketing, taught a semester at University of San Francisco in 2011, and was active in political circles.

"I was shocked. It blew me away," said Howard Epstein, the past chair of the San Francisco Republican Party.

Epstein said he worked with Chamberlain years ago before Chamberlain switched sides and joined the Democratic Party's efforts.

"The only one I know that he worked with after he left the party was Gavin Newsom. He was an organizer when Gavin ran for mayor," said Epstein.

Alex Clemens of Barbary Coast Consulting hired him as a contractor for about a month back in 2009 and has known him through political circles for more than a decade. He described Chamberlain as a competent political operative.

"He worked every cycle on a campaign, or two or three, and you don't survive in the very high stakes of San Francisco politics without being competent," said Clemens.

A radical leftist? Who woulda thunk it? If Billy Ayers were dead he'd be rolling over in his grave.

What does that have to do with the price of rice in China.
