No link. I heard it on fox news.
Police association is wanting Ohio state law regarding open carry suspended so there are no open guns during the Republican convention.
Kasich has refused their request.
One must always remember that rising tension, distrust
and repression of the whole community is in the best
interests of the insurgent who it will not effect in
the least.
The rising attacks on conservative elements are for
one purpose only, to cause an over reaction and martyrs
for the cause, who can then be held up as heros of the
revolution.
History is ripe with examples.
Six blocks isn’t bad, will they enforce that?
Understand your position. I however will.
Why?
If some BLM or other DNC terrorist shows up and starts trying to kill people, I will do my best to take him down. If I succeed, that may save some innocent lives. If I fail, I will at least have distracted him. Also, think I’m good with God so don’t particularly fear death.
PS No, I’m not a cop. Just play one on TV. And I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night. /joke
After listening to Chris Cox of Bikers for Trump speak last night, I don’t think we’ll have a problem. I’ll try and get the link for you. I expect thousands of bikers to show up to protect the cops and delegates.
Without a doubt.
Good for Kasich, he got this right.
Kasich has the National Guard. Were I him with all the BS going on I’d have the NG on duty fully armed and given the authority to order to shoot anyone who creates any danger to life or limb.
While I can agree with certain elements of your post, particularly concerning the motivation of these troublemakers, I cannot help but think that this did not work out too well for them in 1968. The unrest that year was far greater van anything that we have seen this year, and Nixon’s Silent Majority came out and denied the choice of the troublemakers for the presidency.
Also, while it is true that a lot of the Silent Majority of 48 years ago is dead and gone, people still value stability and peace in their lives. You will see a tremendous number of people coming out to vote for Trump this year, for the simple reason that he represents a return to stability. All that this violence, and threats to violence, do is to scare the hell out of the average person. In this way, the troublemakers are the cause of their own undoing. Let them riot, they are tightening the noose around their own necks.
Not the Fox interview but just as good.
This will be a convention that will have multiple mass shootings.
We are so screwed.
The Constitution is not temporary, is it? If you allow and insist on it here, when next, who’s agenda? No, the law is the law. Police need to set politics aside and enforce the law. Arrest non-peaceful protesters, if THEY pull a gun, shoot and kill them. Protect law-abiding citizens. If the police are not up to the task, then citizens will need to defend themselves. Who else will?
Authority no longer matters. Pens and phones do.
Yes, they perform that duty. But they are much more than that.
Used to live near a lieutenant in the Highway Patrol.
They are state cops similar (but not quite as badass) as the Texas Rangers (not the baseball team).
Not a crew to mess with.
Funny story: Got pulled over by a Statie for doing about 7 mph over the speed limit. Tossed out the “these are not the droids you are looking for” line just for levity purposes. He saw that I was on a date and played along. That ended up being a fun night!
LOL!
I can’t really take any chances like that unless absolutely necessary.
Two people depend on me for care, if I die, they will suffer hardship.
I kinda get the feeling that this is going to spread though, and there aren’t going to be many good places to lay low.
If he moves, we move.
I’d move the National Guard out NOW, to surround the convention site, with LOADED WEAPONS.
Excellent. APC's, and those nifty microwave painmakers.
I cannot help but think that this did not work out too well for them in 1968.
In 68 no, but they are where they are today because they
learned how to use the tactics successfully, and have
been using it for the last 40 years.
This is only the beginning of a long hot summer...
My best to you, maintain situational awareness
and be ready for what ever occurs.
I think that’s where this is going , Laz.
Our racist bastard president sowed the seeds of hate, anger and murder, and they grew into a forest.
The masterminds are trying to wreck the train into the wall as hard as they can so that they can then build a new and better train from the flaming wreckage.
Madmen.
