Jacksonville is an ideal place for the Republican convention: Republican controlled city, in a Republican state.
The police WILL NOT be ordered to “stand down” for Antifa.
The arena where the event will be held is surrounded by poor black neighborhoods. Duval County might be more or less conservative overall, but that area votes Rat.
See above about BLM and Antifa blocking highways and bridges with protesters.
To keep those roads open at key times would require a massive and heavy handed police response, just what BLM and Antifa would like to see on national TV: tear gas and batons, riot police in massive numbers.
