I get the feeling both conventions this year will make the 1968 dem convention look like a picnic. Expecting the worst.
To: Libloather
masks, machete, knife....
Lord, please protect convention attendees, area residents and the police from those intending to commit violence there :-(

BB gun....sheesh. Maybe going to do a bit of damage to a sign or two but a BB gun? lol. We used those big time when I was a kid. People are too sensitive now a days. These guys should not be arrested for using a 2nd Amendment right. What a disaster America is becoming.

The BB was for one of two things ~ possibly to shoot rats on the roof. Nothing like a rat bite to mess you up. Or, to shoot at glass bottles filled with flammable liquid that's been fused to ignite if percussed.
I'd be looking around for the empty bottles ~

Well funded by soros and his groups. Depicted by the scumedia as Innocent law abiding protesters enjoying thier constitutional rights sprinkled of coarse with anarchists funded by darthe vader. The majority, the adults in the room must stand and must vote in mass to get the ball rolling
To: muawiyah
Wow. You went to the extreme. Your scenario is plausible though.

Thanks for your thoughts. I am going Tuesday Night to hear Mrs. Romney and Chris Christie. I have been a little reluctant to actually go, but have faith that the police and security will be top notch.

...a large machete, a pocketknife, tin snips and a pry tool... In Florida, a machete in an urban area is a great way to become a martyr...

A BB gun paired with a machete, pry bar, tin snips, AND they’re on the roof of a parking garage near Tropicana field where the RNC kick-off/welcome party starts tonight.
Law-abiding gun owners and concealed carriers are not going anywhere near these events, and the police know it. My cousin’s husband is a Tampa cop and has told everyone in our family that if they don’t have business in Tampa this week, stay far away from it.
I’ll be heeding that advice.

Do a google.com search for: bb gun molotov cocktail
630,000 references (some duds but you get the idea of what to do).

Association my friend is part of the law in this state when it involves the commission of breaking the law. The reality is the police most likely saved their worthless lives by running across them first. A competent CCW holder would not have been so “understanding” if that BB gun was to be brandished.

The backpack belonged to Trevor Swanson, 19, of St. Petersburg, who is prohibited from having weapons because of a domestic violence injunction.... Shaw, listed as a transient from Largo, was arrested on a charge of carrying a concealed weapon. Swanson was arrested on charges of possessing burglary tools, violating an injunction and being a delinquent felon in possession of a weapon.
.
... am very glad they caught these men before the events started.

WOW, my dear FRiend, this is proof positive that the Soros money is drying up, and Obama has a financial dilemma that is worse than we thought..
BB gun, replacing an AK47’s, and wire cutters, bottles, pocket knives, machetes, instead of lasers, rocket launchers, or it could be true, liberals really are wimps.. Sheeze
It’s also possible that they were already robbed by their other more aggressive comrades..

I wonder if it was a steel BB shooting gun or a soft air plastic BB shooting gun?

Oct. 6, 2011 - House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi “God bless them for their spontaneity. It’s independent, it’s young, it’s spontaneous, and it’s focused. And it’s going to be effective.”
And as Nancy would further go on to say “God bless them all”.
