The City of Cleveland, Ohio plans to purchase 2,000 sets of riot gear in the lead up to hosting the 2016 Republican National Convention. Purchasing documents published by Cleveland.com show the city is looking for a laundry list of crowd control equipment, including full body riot suits, riot gear wearable for police on bicycles and 26-inch collapsable batons, along with thousands of interlocking steel barricades.

I’ve invested in guillotines — I feel like I’m getting in at the groundfloor, but I expect them to be going up real soon.

Just don't lose your head over this opportunity.

They should have had the convention on Catalina Island. The Casino building. Dock a few cruise ships for accommodations and offer no money for security in L.A. Rent out ALL helicopters. Let them riot on the mainland.

Have the protesters put in their purchase orders for anti-anti-riot gear yet?

[If it goes to a second ballot Trump will not be the nominee.]

If CRUZ wins on a second ballot, he wins. That’s politics.

I’m more worried about a third ballot, where Romney may end up the candidate.

I truly believe that leads to decades of Democrat control of WH, Congress, and SCOTUS. We can forget about politics here and convert FR to a survivalist forum.

If Romney steals the nomination, I hope TRUMP & CRUZ will run on a 3rd ticket.

Sore loser law hurts them a lot.

I think neither can run in Texas, for example, so no chance to win the electoral contest.

Better to not spend the money and just let Romney flop on his own.

I’m hearing that the Trump team is starting to claim he should be the nominee even if he wins a plurality of delegates. I also hear that the RNC can change the rules right up until the convention is called to order. This should be interesting.

I thought the republicans were the violent, vitriolic, gun-toting madmen ?

Wouldn’t this suggest otherwise ? What’s going on in Philly for the DNC ?

(Sarcasm, of course)

I’ll just haul my backhoe to someplace near town. Mass graves, it’s the green thing to do.

Democrats had their 1968. The GOP gets its turn in 2016.
