The groups expected to descend on the city were focused on a range of agendas. A coalition of activists planned to hold a “Shut Down Trump and the R.N.C.” march to oppose the nomination of Donald J. Trump.

Trump’s candidacy is drawing the most reactionary elements of the capitalist class to Cleveland for the RNC July 18 to 21. Their agenda is war, racism, raids and austerity. . .
Cleveland is notorious for racist police murders. Tamir Rice, Tanisha Anderson, Timothy Russell and Malissa Williams are only the latest Black people murdered by the Cleveland Police Dept. Cleveland police will gain a vast new arsenal to be goons for Trump and the RNC and will continue to use these mega-weapons in their war on the Black community. This too we will protest.

Finally, I will draw attention to this piece: Dem strategy to counter GOP convention leaked
The Democratic National Committee (DNC) has allocated an $806,650 budget for its counter-events and tactics, according to documents posted online by an individual calling themselves “Guccifer 2.0.”
The hacker, who recently leaked the DNC's opposition file on Trump, also posted what appears to be a donor spreadsheet of more than 17,000 names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, event names and dollar figures marked “Amount.” A sampling of phone numbers tested appeared to accurately match voicemails of the listed names.
Ping.
Ping.
These malcontents are major players in the DEMOCRAT PARTY. President John F. Kennedy would roll over in his grave if he saw this.

He was way too liberal for me, but he was a patriot, you’re right.
I suggest FReepers dont shed their blood in Cleveland.
It will be unorganized chaos.
We will need you more if God forbd, Trump doesn’t win, and maybe if he DOES win!
I’m sorry, but Cleveland is absolutely the worst place to hold the RNC convention. I would have loved for the convention to be held in Anchorage, AK. That would have stopped the protesters cold.
Thanks for the link!
I’m going to go on record as saying that Cleveland is going to be a bust for protestors.
Between the police, who are ready to process a 1,000 arrests each day, and the motorcycle guys, the protestors are going to generally behave themselves.
The big news is going to be the lack of big news of riots and violent protesters.
And Kendal Unruh will be stuffed in a seat way away for the main stage.
Let’s hope you’re right. It may be that the Democrats end up having bigger problems from the Bernie supporters in Philadelphia. In any case, it’s useful to keep an eye on who’s organizing these protests.
I just returned from Anchorage 3 weeks ago. Mid afternoon it was close to 90.
Today at 4:12pm, it was 73.
That said, I think your right because of the distance to Anchorage. My guess is that Anchorage will never have a convention because it has too few Hotel Rooms or cops for that matter.
I hope Cleveland has it set up to only accept cash bonds and have all their tasers fully charged.

Outsiders who underestimate Cleveland will be sadly disappointed.
I think that BLM is about done. We’ll see in Cleveland.
what do you mean by that?
Colorado’s delegation is seated to the far rear right. LOL. Get some!
