A federal judge on Thursday struck down rules set for protesters at next month’s Republican National Convention in Cleveland.

Ohio’s branch of the American Civil Liberties Union brought the suit last week against the city of Cleveland, arguing that restrictions on protesters within the “event zone” around Quicken Loans Arena are unconstitutional. Those restrictions would ban certain items, including large backpacks, tape and string, and limit where within the 3.5 square mile zone demonstrators can speak and hold a parade.

This could work in favor of the Trump supporters who want to hold rallies and demonstrations the NeverTrumpers were trying to stop in a Cleveland court.

Don’t make ANY security arrangements. Let Ohio bikers with CC do it. Imagine a cordon of 6 foot guys 5 deep with leather jackets at all entrances and groups in random patrols. Let the protesters do whatever they want. The second one gets outa hand, BOOM. Like a hammer. The authorities, especially in urban hellholes don’t know how to deal with snowflakes throwing violent hissy fits. We do.

Roger Stone talked about this a couple of days ago. This is the decision he was hoping for. The city of Cleveland had decided to deny individual groups the use of P.A. systems to address their supporters and planned to lump all protesters together in one area, a sure invitation to violence.

I think they are going to build a wall to keep out the protesters.

I smell BLOODSHED. If there is blood spilled it will be on Judge Gwin's hand.
The DEMe have stated that the right wing, gun owners are more of a threat to our beloved USA. That is a massive lie. Liberalism is the greater threat ten fold.

The GOPe has recently stated that THEY want to teach us, meaning "We The People" a lesson.
Time to teach THEM, those who work for "We The People" a lesson....

TIME TO VOTE THEM OUT AND ENACT TERM LIMITS

IN LIBERTY
