After police officers assisting with security at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee responded to a reported fight roughly one mile from the main RNC venue, ultimately shooting and killing a suspect who drew a knife, additional security incidents more directly impacting the convention were reported that raised concerns about what, exactly, is going on at the margins of the convention's secure perimeter.
On Tuesday evening, Fox News Channel's Bill Melugin reported that authorities tasked with monitoring the secure perimeter around several blocks of the downtown area "stopped a suspicious man wearing a ski mask" a few blocks away from the venue containing the convention stage. The 21-year-old man was arrested and found to be carrying an "AK47 pistol, a full magazine, & a Scream mask in a large backpack." The individual's plans remain unknown as of now, but local authorities told Melugin that the arrestee "did not have a legal CCW permit."

Yeah, it's a real puzzle.
Yeah... this isn’t gonna slow down. FWIW, The Lincoln Project (lol) put out a “powerful” Trump==Hitler video just yesterday, with the caption: “Hitler’s power wasn’t taken, it was given. And once he had control he enacted his horrifying, dictatorial agenda. The same dynamic is at play with Trump.” O.M.G.!
I thought the Lincoln Project folks were all in jail for raping kids.
No ship, Sherlock.
MUCH TOO EARLY FOR DEER SEASON.....
Also, haven’t any of these people heard of Godwin’s Rule?
I think Congress needs to have an emergency session where they directly clarify that the PROTECTION that SS is supposed to provide allows pre-emptive neutralization of an imminent threat. LE and others do NOT have to wait until an assassination is done before they take out the assassin. In fact, the SS has a DUTY to take out threats BEFORE they attack if they are to be called a PROTECTIVE detail.
Gotta make sure that these would-be assassins know that what happened on Saturday is NOT NORMAL and will NOT be tolerated.
Period!!
Wow, that’s the first I’ve heard that. What happened to “can’t we all get along” and “let’s turn the temperature down”? Oh yeah, that lasted 15 minutes on Saturday.
“Oh yeah, that lasted 15 minutes on Saturday.”
Pffftttt.... that was another lie in a train of lies.
What? It didn’t last a minute?
Great point!
Nope.... no sooner than it exited their lips the next sound heard was like that of a cow patty going splat on a large flat rock.
Not that concerning, just another night in Milwaukee.
