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.

I agree. Hearing a lot of praise for the police, but let’s be honest the New Black Panther’s threat of open carry led the patriots in and around the area to respond in kind to assist law enforcement in keeping a polite society.
We still have a few days to go though.
My first thought was that BLM is fading out because of the horrific murder of police officers. Thugs always show up, but the violence at the protests and the violence against the police scared off the average folks. Look at the Day of Rage flop last week.
And to think liberals were terrified of Tea Party rallies.
I agree...if the protesters saw the “Rolling Thunder” of bikes coming into the city, I expect they had a change of heart about acting up.
I hope they all took Soros’ money and are living high on the hog for the week in the high priced hotels .... unfortunately for the hotel cleaning staffs they will bear the brunt of MoveOn.org pigs and piglettes.
A combination of things: Bernie’s not just out but endorsed Hillary. And, the murders of policemen in Dallas and Baton Rouge. It’s gotten too real for many of them, they talk big but can’t handle the aftermath of what they advocate.
Considering the size of her ass, it’s going to be one hell of a whippin!

...defied a downtown tennis ball ban?
They are waiting for next week.
Trump’s opposition could not afford the transportation and hotels to attend a big protest. Maybe with the cop shootings, the pay masters, like Soros, decided it was too risky to set up the chaos. Police officers should sue the funders of BLM as they called for the killing of police officers loud and clear.
