Grania, I agree that under normal convention type events, Cleveland can handle things.

But, even Stove Loomis is getting concerned ast they can’t meet the Fed. Gov’t FEMA guidelines for even personnel!

Plus, this ain’t going to be our grandmother’s type convention! You don’t think outside protests will riot?

I think what could potentially happen could make the Kent State massacre look like a friendly college gathering and Chicago 1968 a family vacation. Sometimes when things are anticipated, they can be averted. One of the big problems those of us who live in and near Cleveland are still disgusted with is the (mostly out of town) Black Lives Matter protestors were allowed to rum amuck. I hope that's a lesson learned.

I don't think any city could contain the worst-case scenario for the conventions this summer. Meanwhile, I never underestimate Mayor Frank Jackson. He's done a real fine job in Cleveland not letting become Detroit, Ferguson, or Baltimore. The city did a real nice job at the rally soon after the Chicago Trump rally situation.

It's odd, but I find myself in acceptance of a potential outcome. If things go too badly and folks lose all pretentions that voting matters, then I could see a Doomsday situation. We've slid so far, and those who won't give up power either don't get it or don't care.

I don’t think the protesters are going to be allowed downtown.
First of all, it will take hours to get through security, and all hotels are filled. Protesters will have to stay outside of city limits and if law enforcement is overwhelmed, they will just plop them down in the Muni lot or something so things can go as planned.

I think they are going to be very disappointed that terrorism concerns trumped Soros’s money.
