Full Title: Report: Charlotte Police canceling all vacations in fear of major violence during GOP convention next August
Respected journalist Paul Sperry took to Twitter with a report that I see nowhere else, about the sort of violence that police in Charlotte, NC expect when the GOP holds its convention there exactly one year from now (CMPD stands for Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department that serves the entire county of which Charlotte is the country seat):...
I am so old – far older than most of those planning to disrupt the convention – that I remember vividly the riots that took place at the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago. The antiwar fanatics, including Yippies who later were dubbed the “Chicago 7” when put on trial, did not want Vice President Hubert Humphrey to receive the nomination and continue the Vietnam War policies of his boss, President Lyndon Baines Johnson.
They conducted riots outside the convention and on the streets of downtown Chicago -- much of it televised by the TV networks – attempting to disrupt the convention. The Naitonal Guard was called up, and were taunted by demonstrators, resulting on many confrontations like this...

Hope the police don’t have orders to stand down while Antifa members try to increase their social justice score.
The Democrats inciting violence....how novel.

same damn commies and their students behind EVERY ONE of these riots in America.
This is hardly news. Boston did the same thing in 2004. They even shut down the expressway which ran next to the convention. The best was the caged free speech zones. Outside those cages disrupters were subject to arrest.
Fine. Kick ass, take names.
Gee. I wonder who might want to create havoc and start trouble. I’m thinkin’ really really hard................
Dumb idea to hold the convention in a Democrat run town.

The Charlotte Observer will crucify the CMPD if they do. Charlotte is a Leftist-run city and it hates LEO’s.
Wonder how many buses the democrats have to get Antifa there.
I love how democrats go to conservative rallies wearing body armor and brandishing weapons, with the expressed purpose of starting fights, and the news media reports “violence at Trump rally”
I wonder if fagifa is O’bungholes civilian army?
Of all places to choose for a party convention.
I think both parties chose poorly this time.
The Dems will meet in Milwaukee, a small town without enough hotel rooms to serve everyone. Most will need to stay in a city almost a two hour drive away.
If there aren’t enough rooms for the delegates, then the rioters will have no place to stay.
I be the DNC would convene in isolated places like Jackson Hole or Davros, Switzerland if it could get away with it.
There’s no place left to avoid riots unless it’s a communist country where they don’t all that crap.
Mayor Daly’s cops did a number on those demonstrators. Perhaps Charlotte should import riot police from Uganda.
“Hope the police don’t have orders to stand down while Antifa members try to increase their social justice score.”
Like last time?
I’m figuring double time for metro cops to watch the violence so they can return home safe to their families.
Precisely.
“Most will need to stay in a city almost a two hour drive away.”
Like Atlanta’s suburbs for the Professional Olympics, there will be plenty of locals willing to rent their homes out to our domestic enemies.
exactly! Who makes these decisions? Trump keeps praising Ronna McDaniel but she headed the RNC when the Dems took over the House by a big margin.
Republicans aren’t going to disrupt their own convention.
