This wasn't a peaceful protest by all accounts there were assaults on guests arriving at the event, police officers and significant damage to property.

I put on my memory cap and think... think... think...
Was there ever a protest by conservatives against Clinton where these sort of things happened?
Ummm... perhaps once when the trouble was instigated against a protestor by a union thug. Otherwise, no.
Why is it that the "peaceful" left is so violent?
Any of you liberals out there explain?

"Rubber Bullets" by 10cc

I went to a party at the local county jail
All the cons were dancing and the band began to wail
But the guys were indiscreet
They were brawling in the street
At the local dance at the local county jail

Well the band were playing
And the booze began to flow
But the sound came over on the police car radio
Down at Precinct 49
Having a tear-gas of a time
Sergeant Baker got a call from the governor of the county jail

Load up, load up, load up with rubber bullets
Load up, load up, load up with rubber bullets

I love to hear those convicts squeal
It's a shame these slugs ain't real
But we can't have dancin' at the local county jail

Sergeant Baker and his men made a bee-line for the jail
And for miles around
You could hear the sirens wail
There's a rumor goin' round death row
That a fuse is gonna blow
At the local hop at the local county jail

Whatcha gonna do about it, whatcha gonna do
Whatcha gonna do about it, whatcha gonna do

Sergeant Baker started talkin'
With a bullhorn in his hand
He was cool, he was clear
He was always in command
He said "Blood will flow;
Here Padre
Padre you talk to your boys..."
"Trust in me -
God will come to set you free"

Well we don't understand
Why you called in the National Guard
When Uncle Sam is the one
Who belongs in the exercise yard
We all got balls and brains
But some's got balls and chains
At the local dance at the local county jail

Load up, load up, load up with rubber bullets
Load up, load up, load up with rubber bullets

Is it really such a crime
For a guy to spend his time
At the local dance at the local county jail
At the local dance at the local county jail

Whatcha gonna do about it, whatcha gonna do
Whatcha gonna do about it, whatcha gonna do

You got it. Most of these 'protestors' are the professional anarchist types. Note the pictures where they are equipped with swimming goggles, masks, etc. These are the same yahoos that protested (rioted)in Seattle. I guarantee you that they were paid and provided transportation. Hopefully the FBI is working on infiltrating these groups like ALF and ELF and will take them down. I'd sure like to see the money trail on them.

For some inexplicable reason, the national press insists on calling riots "protests" when in fact they are nothing of the sort. Note they don't fail to use the term "riot police" however.

I wish I could find some more 'balanced' accounts of the 1968 Democratic National Convention, for an example -- it was NOT as the popular press would have you believe from what little material I can find. Intelligent folks can read between the lines.

It amazes me to no end the level of disrespect for any human being that these bastards display. All the huggy-kissy respect in the world for rocks & trees though.

I'll stand by my assessment that they need their butts blistered good and often! It'd be a hell of a lot more merciful than what they have coming on Judgement Day when they find out there IS a God and their beloved Mother Nature was as ficticious as Mickey Mouse.
