CLEVELAND, Ohio — A federal judge on Thursday scrapped the city of Cleveland's plans for a heightened-security zone that would have encompassed most of downtown during the Republican National Convention, saying that the restrictions are burdensome to people who want to express their free-speech rights.

-Instead of suspending constitutional carry, why don't they reinstate the safe zone? It would have kept everyone's constitutional rights in tact (Unless suspending concealed carry was the goal to begin with).

The BLM crowd doesn’t want “free-speech rights”. It doesn’t know how to utter a coherent sentence. All it wants to do is yell and scream about Trump, start fights and blame Whitey, loot and steal and blame Trump.

IIRC, this happened 3 weeks ago.

Surprise! The judge is a Clinton appointee. Actually, I don’t think you were surprised.

Anybody notice the date/byline on this story??

"By Eric Heisig, cleveland.com // Follow on Twitter // on June 23, 2016 at 11:45 AM, updated June 24, 2016 at 1:55 PM"

I wouldn't put much into this story in light of more recent news out of Cleveland regarding their being ready to handle 1,000 protesters a day going through their system.

He is not a fool, in the short term, he is malicious and wants chaos.

Yes, but the point I was trying to make is that they should just go back to the original plan INSTEAD of suspending concealed carry.

I hope you are right. We here in Cleveland are very nervous.

Thanks for the reminder. I completely forgot about that! It seems these judges are picking where and when to uphold the laws.

I just read the whole article and couldn’t find where they suspended constitutional carry. Where’d you hear that?

(I’ve been working all week, and am catching up on the news now)

Thanks in advance.

I’m going to be at the convention as a volunteer. I have a CCW, however I can’t bring my firearm into the Q because the Secret Service banned firearm possession in the areas open exclusively to credentialed attendees of the convention.

They haven’t suspended it yet, but the head of the police union is putting pressure on Kasich to do so.

I appreciate it. Thanks!

I’m doing the PM shift so I don’t have to be at the site until 7 on Wed. and 7:30 on Thurs. I still don’t know what my job will be.

Nigel Farage said he was going to be there. I hope I get to see him.

Was the federal judge a clinton or Obastard appointment?

Yeah. I just read that.
“I don’t care if it’s constitutional or not at this point.”
What a loser piece of used food this jackass is!

I’m pretty sure this is about Roger Stone’s Stop the Steal lawsuit. Cleveland selectively applied restrictions to his pro Trump group only.

It doesn’t matter who brought the suit, what matters is it is now being used to attempt to suspend the constitution. Why do they want to suspend gun rights? Why not reinstate the safe zone and protect everyone (including the Constitution)?
