Stay as far away from the disturbances as possible. Allow the police to handle.
Political/ideological rioting by Progressives has a massive history of backfiring on them. Chicago 1968, for instance. Nothing wakens the Silent Majority more than big political riots.
Whoever chose Cleveland as the site of the convention was an idiot.
(the regular GOPe, no doubt.)
I think yours is the best advice.
I was a police officer during the King riots and democratic convention in 1968. Mayor Daley put the hammer down on the hippies. The AHats were throwing poop out the windows of the Conrad Hilton in us below. Set fire to a police wagon in Grant Park with the police inside. Boy did we kick butt. Broke so many nite sticks that Evanston sent truck loads of ebony sticks with stainless shafts to us at Grant Park, the Palmer house and Hilton.
King riots Daley gave the order to “shoot to kill”. Then the National Guard came to help us out.
These were the days. Cleveland will do OK if the Mayor gets some balls.
The stupider they act, the better off we will be (if it’s a clean convention nominating the choice of voters in the many states’ primaries and caucuses). Neither Chicago ‘68, or the Paul Wellstone pre-election rally, uh, er, funeral, boded well for Dems. They really don’t have the first clue on the perception of their nonsense beyond their own view.
