The liberal media has to be greatly disappointed there isn’t violence and destruction.

Yeah. Apparently, tactics:

Were a skirmish to break out between liberal and conservative demonstrators, police would need to fight through crowds to reach the agitators.

Nice.

Given the author's connection to the leftwing Atlantic, I do think he is definitely trying to suggest something.

I liked this snippet:

“How come [Donald Trump] can’t just start being a mayor of a city, instead of trying to be president?” said Public Enemy’s Chuck D. “Your resume is not legit to be president of the United States.”

As opposed to BO, who never had to win a serious election before he ran? Every elective office he held before that time was won against cardboard cut-out candidates, candidates he disqualified or candidates he blackmailed into quitting before any votes were cast.

1) They saw the violent idiots at recent Trump rallies and know they are as likely as a Trump supporter to be hit by an egg or bag of rocks or worse.

2) They know they aren’t a match to the awesome (it seems to me) Cleveland police. And add to that open carry and bikers for Trump. They’d spend so much time changing panties whenever they get scared that it just isn’t worth the effort.

3) They are preparing for next week’s DNC. Exerting effort this week may cause farts to slip out. They want to keep those farts in for maximum influence at Hillary’s convention.

Cops came from around the country to keep the convention peaceful, an overwhelming police force.

Wonder if they’ll do the same for Hillary.

I've been watching the show on CSPAN... and what a pleasure to watch the speeches without any talking heads trying to tell me what to think.

Tuesday night I did see a Code Pink nut in the audience, but that was it... I hope tonight goes as smoothly.

Maybe they are wising up? Go after the DNC instead? After all, they are the party of the “unarmed”.

Maybe they’ve finally realized that acting like idiots only helps Trump.

I’m glad there is no violence at this convention.

I think the reason the hoards haven’t shown up is that the Hillarists/Obammunists have made sure that the travel funding was yanked for their violent thugs because they’re finally realizing the optics of what’s been going is extremely detrimental in the eyes of most voters and that having violent far-leftists create thuggish chaos in Cleveland could help cement a Trump victory.

I listened to the scanner last night and the night before. Law enforcement has been VERY proactive. Thankfully.

Seems many residents are reporting suspicious activity and people.

Perhaps Cleveland is interested in upholding law and order unlike San Jose, Chicago and the others.

There will probably be violence at the DNC next week. The protesters are probably getting rest.

Soros forgot to write their checks.

Or, he wrote their checks too early, and they’re stoned out of their minds somewhere.

Where Are All the Protesters at the RNC?

They are setting themselves on fire apparently.

Check the burn wards.

From the article: “Black Lives Matter decided to skip Cleveland altogether. These leaders aim instead to focus their attention on the Democratic National Convention”

That shows that it was a command decision by the hard left. The goon squads and provocateurs were not given marching orders. Maybe they are saving one headline attack for tonight.

Prayers up for the Philly PD.

“Is this author suggesting something? “

The conclusion of the article is highlighting the best place to create an incident, which they have searched out - lots of media on hand, and constrained space to focus their small numbers for the cameras:

“East 4th Street, a nightlife corridor where a number of news organizations have rented out restaurants to serve as pop-up news bureaus. Along this corridor, the pedestrian avenue is narrow and cramped, thanks to wide iron gates enclosing restaurant patios along both sides of the street. It’s a potential flashpoint: Were a skirmish to break out between liberal and conservative demonstrators, police would need to fight through crowds to reach the agitators. “

My theory is that the DNC called off the riots because they did not want to further aggravate the case against The Witch, which would have caused middle America to be further unlikely to vote for her. She is that bad of a candidate.
