I get the feeling both conventions this year will make the 1968 dem convention look like a picnic. Expecting the worst.
masks, machete, knife....
Lord, please protect convention attendees, area residents and the police from those intending to commit violence there :-(
BB gun....sheesh. Maybe going to do a bit of damage to a sign or two but a BB gun? lol. We used those big time when I was a kid. People are too sensitive now a days. These guys should not be arrested for using a 2nd Amendment right. What a disaster America is becoming.
In Florida, a machete in an urban area is a great way to become a martyr...
Next spit balls will be “weapons” ‘c’mon.
Shaw, listed as a transient from Largo, was arrested on a charge of carrying a concealed weapon. Swanson was arrested on charges of possessing burglary tools, violating an injunction and being a delinquent felon in possession of a weapon.

... am very glad they caught these men before the events started.
WOW, my dear FRiend, this is proof positive that the Soros money is drying up, and Obama has a financial dilemma that is worse than we thought..
BB gun, replacing an AK47’s, and wire cutters, bottles, pocket knives, machetes, instead of lasers, rocket launchers, or it could be true, liberals really are wimps.. Sheeze
It’s also possible that they were already robbed by their other more aggressive comrades..
These "slugs" should be handled the same way Mayor Richard Daley handled them in Chicago in 1968. Nothing like a split open head to calm the anarchists. Screw all the PC crap.
I wonder if it was a steel BB shooting gun or a soft air plastic BB shooting gun?
Oct. 6, 2011 - House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi “God bless them for their spontaneity. It’s independent, it’s young, it’s spontaneous, and it’s focused. And it’s going to be effective.”
And as Nancy would further go on to say “God bless them all”.
They are fools if they try to start trouble.
Let all those mushy-middlers come to associate the Democrats with street violence; they will run to the polls to vote Republican.
Possible correction: "St. Petersburg sees first DNC-related arrests.."
Maybe I'm missing something here but who secures a mask with putty?
Why am I thinking they were there waiting to break into cars when everyone was attending the convention?
No bias in the title trying to characterize this as the RNC’s fault. Nope, none. /sarc

I guess it’s too late to move the convention to the other St Petersburg.

So were the jihadis fighting the USMC in the Second Battle of Fallujah. The young, spontaneous, and focused jihadis were so arrogant yet ineffectual in attacking the Marines, that it became in effect a “turkey shoot”.
They were so incredibly bad as fighters that after killing many who had made the same stupid mistakes over and over again, some of the Marines took to laughing, as what the enemy was doing was so irrational and suicidal, they couldn’t help themselves.
This was interpreted by the jihadis that the Marines had to have been on drugs, to laugh in the middle of a battle. So they talked of “The drug-crazed, laughing Marines”.
However, when all was said and done, in 46 days of combat, the Marines had 95 dead and 560 wounded; but the bad guyz had about 1,500 dead and 1,500 captured, with most of the remaining thousand wounded and fled. A very conservative estimate, with some unofficial estimates as double that.
In any event, “young, dumb, and full of ****” will generally fail when opposed by experience, age and patience.
We had better anticipate the spark for violence creating a Reichstag Fire.
The communist regime will try harder as the election draws close, especially if their internal polls are signaling a loss.
They are so close to taking over they are licking their chops. They can’t “allow” losing, especially in a landslide.
If We The People stay home when widespread violence occurs, we’ll suffer much more from the empowered communists the rest of our lives.
If the communists win, this will be the last FREE election for a long time.
Ask anyone who lived under tyranny to refute or confirm the above.
