Most people savvy about political matters will know that the leftists will be protesting outside of both conventions this year, as they always do. There will be tear gas, mass arrests, and—as always—there won't be any conservatives involved. We will be keeping a tally of major riot/protest events each day. The MSM will make it difficult, of course, as they have to do their best to shield the Democrats from a 1968 effect.

Tear Gas Fired at Demonstrators Near State Capitol
Protesters clashed with police outside the Denver state capitol building early Monday evening as law enforcement amassed and tensions heightened.
Tear gas was dispersed on a crowd of screaming demonstrators who had been attending a rally at the Civic Center Park. The protesters’ decision to march on the capitol building without a permit started the confrontation.
As of 7:30 p.m., about 200 protestors and 100 police officers in full riot gear were on the scene. Several police vehicles were en route, sirens blazing.

Tear Gas Disperses Group
The Denver police used tear gas on Monday night to disperse a small group of demonstrators outside the hotel where many of New York’s delegates to the Democratic National Convention are staying, witnesses said.
The police action stranded many delegates in the lobby and left one woman wheezing and coughing from the gas.
The scene at the Sheraton Denver Hotel was hectic and confused as delegates, including Representative Charles B. Rangel and Gov. David A. Paterson, entered the lobby unaware of what had happened and were told by hotel employees that they could not go to their rooms.
