It was a lame attempt. A chubby broad with a little lighter and no accelerant couldn’t get it going.

I hear Soros is paying anarchists to protest at the convention with a bonus if they get arrested.

I’d imagine they were close by though.

I saw that on the news this morning. I kept wishing that I had been there with a fire hose to put the fire out. ;o)

Comey made excuses for Clinton. Clinton didn’t make the excuse, Comey did. His active defense of her criminality makes him an accessory.

He expects us to believe that the Secretary of State does not know how to handle classified material, that the Secretary of State is too “unsophisticated”.

The only person here who is unsophisticated is Comey, only a simpleton could expect the public to buy his insultingly outrageous lies.

"Police and other security officials arrest a Communist"
So strange to read this.

A couple of things to clear up. I saw another article earlier about this, went back and looked it up.

Flag burner set himself on fire, instead of the flag, cops were spraying a fire extinguisher, not pepper spray. The two can be confused by a similar design of cannisters and both are eye irritants. If you look at the pictures in the article linked in this thread, one very clearly shows a cannister labeled “COLDFIRE TACTICAL”. I looked it up, fire extinguisher.

The original article I read, said the cop shoved him to the ground yelling “you’re on fire, stupid”, and they put the fire out. The police were on the way to break it up for safety reasons, they didn’t have a permit to protest and were in a tight circle, which made it also a fire hazard.

First article I read, I think it was linked from Drudge originally but don’t remember for sure.

There is probably a minimum number of people required to have a riot. So far the lefties have yet to field enough people for that. Really low protestor turnout. The largest organized body I have seen was 400 BLMers and they were very peaceful and orderly.

Seems like a proper response to anyone burning the flag would be to yell: “Fire!” and deluge them using fire extinguishers.

I heard someone say that the “demonstrators” themselves say that it has been subdued because Black Lies Matter, smarting from the bad publicity after the murder of 9 cops, has had a minimal presence.

I read a couple of the protest organizers are blaming Ohio's Open Carry laws.

They said would be protestors are telling them that they are afraid of legally armed ordinary citizens might be carrying and won't come to protest.

Of all the reasons, that seems the most plausible.

The main reason the convention has been peaceful so far is that there are thousands of police from all around the country patrolling the streets and using effective crowd control methods.

As I said a couple weeks ago, the story on "violence & Cleveland RNC" will be about how little of it there was.

Never forget that flag burning is an ol' time professional rasslin' heel gimmick used to antagonize the fans. America's "Communists" (unlike those in every other country of the world, who all pose as nationalists and super-patriots, never mind governing as social conservatives when they're in power) aren't trying to appeal to the American people, but to alienate and manipulate them.

Makes one wonder what they're really after, doesn't it?
