"The total amount ordered is about 150 sets of riot helmets, thigh and groin protectors, hard-shell shin guards and other riot gear."

I don't think this is any big deal...do you?

I reviewed the solicitation and the thing that sticks out is it is an urgent request in “support” of the convention is late august. We have been doing this for about 200 years, why is this all of a sudden “urgent”. We have known about these conventions for years. Giving companies time to submit proposals is to ensure that the selection can be across ALL who offer the products commercially for best product/price, not just those that have high paid lobbyists so this was rigged for someone in the know.

Suiting up 150 guys in gear doesn’t seem like a big deal to me.

If it were 15,000 then I’d be on heightened alert.

150 sets doesn’t sound like anything.

They needed more than that when the gays raided Fredericks of Hollywood in Hollywood a few Halloweens ago.

OK, I am as unhappy about this administration as anybody else here, but this article from RT is really scare-mongering. 150 riot suits? Come on, Putin has twenty times that number in each of his former KGB neighborhood depots.

Sometimes it’s scary that RT/Pravda is actually more truthful than our Obama media sycophants. This article is not one of those times. This is pure propaganda designed sow division and to appeal to us as conservatives. We conservatives have legitimate concerns about the direction of this country, but we have to recognize attempts by outsiders to exploit this sentiment.

Can you imagine wearing all of that gear in August.....in Tampa? The Dem convention starts on Labor Day.

Van Jones and the Soros soldiers met not too long ago, they were plotting a game plan.
