Same reason they did it in 1968.

I’d love to see the phone calls and emails between Lynch and the BLM leaders. I have a hunch that the assassination of police officers has had a very chilling effect on their ardor, for the moment. And perhaps all the open carry folks has also had an effect.

Ferguson was attended and led by groups from Chicago and Oakland, CA. The common thieves that waited on the fringes were East St Louisans to some degree.

No, the '68 riots at the DNC were all about stopping the VN war. Over 10,000 dirtbags showed up.
There is nothing like that at all this time around.

More seriously, and on second thought, I think the reason the hoards haven’t shown up is that the Hillarists/Obammunists have made sure that the funding was yanked for their violent thugs because they’re finally realizing the optics of what’s been going is extremely detrimental in the eyes of most voters and that having violent far-leftists create thuggish chaos in Cleveland could help cement a Trump victory.

Exactly, they can’t afford a white woman being attacked by immigrants at the convention. Elsewhere is perfectly fine, but it would be too difficult for the media to sweep away if it happened this week in Cleveland.

Hillary Clinton's handlers likely got "word out onto the street" that there was to be no violence.
Clinton recognizes Americans have had it up to their eyebrows with Muslim and BLM attacks during the past ninety days.
Even though she is allied with both Muslim and BLM activists, she knows that additional episodes of violence will hand election to Donald Trump on a platter.
Heard an interesting radio program about "security moms" who are generally pretty far-left...yet swing decidedly to the right if they feel their children are potentially under threat.

I live in a Cleveland suburb, and nobodys sheltering in place. But a lot of us are carrying openly this week.Did I write 'sheltering in place?'
I'm sorry.
Of course I meant 'Sheltering A Piece'
