Round up those stinky hippies.

Will Demoncrats have the same kind of bill for security or will that magicalluy be paid for by taxpayers?

Perhaps I am not reading this correctly ... ?

[newcthem]

Won’t happen.............muzzie cab drivers will refuse to transport the evil Republicans (it’s against their “religion”, don’t you know) from the airport, so the convention will have to be cancelled.

I predict 600,000 violent protestors funded by George Soros. This city is screwed.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

Round their butts up and roll ‘em off to jail!

St. Paul police Commander Joe Neuberger...........”Our goal is to arrest no one,” he said.

freudian slip?

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

It all comes at tax payers’ expense. Just which pot does it come out of. State or federal...

[Lazamataz]

Why bother with detention centers for these leftist protesters?

[goodwithagun]

But I thought that Democrats and liberals were against violence?

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

Well, I guess there’ll be no arrests, then. /sarc

[politicalwit]

Who made the stupid decision to hold the Convention in MN anyway?

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

RNC?

I’m sure my alma mater (Macalester) will be well represented...

The Hennepin County Sheriff's Department hasn't yet been asked to develop a convention budget, Sheriff Rich Stanek said. He said he didn't know of any estimates of protest arrests in Minneapolis.

Since when does he need to be asked, to do his job? If he hasn't started planning, yet, he's a long way behind the curve.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio's open air facility.

This will be a great opportunity for the DOD to field test their new energy pulse weapons.

[rock_lobsta]

Send ‘em to Club Gitmo. Let em hang with their mooselim brothers.

I’m no longer a St. Paul resident, so this doesn’t directly affect me, but for the sake of my friends and former neighbors, I hope the city doesn’t have to absorb all the cost.
