Focus will be split when the Democratic National Convention arrives in Chicago. Inside the United Center, attendees and TV viewers will be glued to the Harris-Walz ticket.

But when cameras pan outside, eyes will shift to protesters.

Protest groups have been gearing up for months to take advantage of the attention coming to Chicago. They have planned at least seven large demonstrations, with more rallies unsanctioned by the city likely to come.

All the usual lefty outfits have added anti-Israel to their already crowded agendas.

Omitted from the story are the usual habitual criminals who will exploit the chaos.

As bongino says identity politics is cannibalistic by nature , this going to be a freak show and all the characters are interested in their demands

[johniegrad]

Look for live independent sources for reporting when the stuff hits the fan. Maybe Agenda Free TV.

Here’s a rundown of what to expect.

—
2,000 Chicago police backed by 500 from Milwaukee. 2,500 vs 100,000 that should work out well.

I’ve been in Chicago this past week for business. There are literally police on every street-corner from at least the Gold Coast in the North down to McCormick Center and Bronzeville in the South. Also cop cars and police bike patrols throughout the entire area

On Saturday was on Michigan Ave where I witnessed (which is fairy common) two young black girls dashing out of an expensive clothing store with some merchandise, chased by the store manager. Within 30 seconds there were 7 cops in the store, taking statements from witnesses, checking store video, etc...

Its amazing the sort of security and police presence Leftists can muster when they want to. Certainly no consideration “defund police” for Democrats this weekend when their own event, image and PR are at stake.

Riots, vandalism, violence, and mayhem. It's the peace Democrat way.

This year they are adding terrorism--support for Islamic Palestian HAMAS. Bet they ignore HAMAS raped, beheaded, murdered, and took AMERICANS and Israelis hostage last October 7th.

But what programs do they bring? What trees do they plant? (The Great Dumpling, 1968)

[Old Yeller]

Make Chicago Minneapolis!

[chopperk]

The DNC needs tampon dispensers in the men.s toilets.

[brownsfan]

I hope they burn the city to the ground.

[Leep]

What to expect...

Joy.. democracy...unity...non weirdness..biden appreciation ..folksiness..hip hop..EVs..bug sandwiches..drag queen story time..satan..

[Leep]

No weapons of war like Timmy carried during his tour of duty in southern Italy.

[ronnie raygun]

If anything its going to be entertaining, while inside they are glorifying cinderella and the commie deep state plant the city burns on the outside

[The Louiswu]

Doesn’t matter. There is a wall being built around the convention area. Alphabet media and social media will HEAVILY censor or ignore any and all protests that are anything but people holding I LOVE KAMMY sign. Any gorilla video posted to social media showing violent protests will be quickly removed by BIG TECH and roundly condemned as MAGA propaganda.
