Activists marched illegally down streets, fought with one another and defied a downtown tennis ball ban Tuesday during the second day of the Republican National Convention. But as the excitement unfolded, some activist leaders wondered where the crowds were.
Cleveland has seen far smaller protests than those at other recent conventions, despite the nomination of Donald Trump eliciting a rage from progressives that rivals or exceeds their hatred of former President George W. Bush. In a further distinction, it has also seen very few activism-related arrests.
“Look, I’ll say this: It’s not a good thing people aren’t here in a bigger force when an openly fascistic candidate is being nominated,” says Noche Diaz, who served as spokesman for the day’s highest profile march, which promoted revolutionary communism and the jailing of “killer cops.”
“Why? I don’t know all the reasons, you’ll have to ask them,” Diaz said after the hourlong march by about two dozen protesters, a greater number of reporters and likely even more law enforcement officers, who rode bicycles alongside and behind the group.
“Slavery, genocide and war, America was never great!” the group chanted as they walked past Republican convention-goers, one of whom shouted that they should consider moving to another country.

Oooooh....you just sent a thrill up my leg.
“Fascistic candidate” — several million
“Revolutionary communists” — 24.
You lose.
“Exactly! They heard the bikers were going to be there and were afraid they would face some real opposition. Wussies.”
But they’re not going to be at the DNC convention...muahahahaha!
But a few to protect Independence Hall would be great.
Thursday ain’t here yet.
I'll take a stab at an answer.
Because you suck?
Someone mark these folks down to talk to about the violence in Philadelphia next Monday and Tuesday.
Alex Jones immediately took note of how few there were of them and quickly plunged into their ranks, taunting them with his trademark bullhorn.
BLM’s plans were exposed so they’re laying low.
Agree with others; looking like Trump Pence landslide in November. Still predicting 45 states. Manafort seems comfortable citing 35 states, but I think he's purposely being coy and conservative with his numbers to keep Dems guessing.
Where they know they'll get away with anything they want to do.
Bikers are there in big numbers along with the Ohio NG.
Way to go: bikers, prayers, open carry good guys!!
1. The right to carry
2. The recent assassination of cops.
Open carry laws promote peace. Whoda' ever thunk it?
Epic. Ignorance.
---or---
A serious trying-to-use-the-useful-idiots fail.
Either way, this individual is a real loooooozer. d;^)
I doubt the protestors are that savvy.
They are just demoralized.
Between the police, National Gaurd, armed citizens, and the bikers, the leftists knew they were outmanned. This wasn’t going to be a San Jose type thing where they had free reign to wreak havoc.
I suspect the anti-Trump protestors may have been afraid they would get their asses kicked.
