Police pepper spray and arrest 17 Communist protesters trying to burn the Stars and Stripes outside RNC in the most violent rally since convention began

Police pepper sprayed and arrested a group of Communists as they attempted to burn the US flag outside the Republican National Convention.

Officers arrested 17 people after a violent melee broke out near the gates of the Quicken Loans Arena, preventing delegates and journalists from entering the stadium.

One police officer was pushed to the ground as cops attempted to separate the Communists from their rivals, which included members of a group called 'Bikers for Trump'. It was the most turbulent protest since the four-day convention began on Monday.

Of course, burning the flag is not illegal; it’s just that
blocking entrances & exits and setting fires to do so is
illegal and dangerous. Dhimmicrats like that sort of thing,
so I guess the Dhimmicrat Convention would like it.

I’m sure most people have noticed that the convention has passed by rather peacefully compared to what was predicted. 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. That is only part of the reason.

The other part is that few people are inspired by the prospect of a Hillary Clinton presidency. This bodes ill for her. Even her supporters, after hearing Comey expose her as “reckless” “extremely careless” and so “unsophisticated” that she didn’t even know how to recognize classified material, are having their doubts about her ability to perform as president. One poll shows that 56 percent think that she should have been charged, and that includes a significant percentage of democrats, and a more significant number of independents.

The relative peace and calm at the republican convention may be the harbinger of an impending disaster for Clinton.

On Bill Maher yesterday fat pig Michael Moore spoke:

Moore drew gasps from the audience when he stated his belief that Trump would win the election. “I'm sorry to have to be the buzzkill here so early on, but I think Trump is going to win.”

The audience booed, but Maher responded that “the enemy is complacency” and he was glad Moore said it because he “certainly could win.”

They way I heard it reported on the radio this morning was that the one of the burners caught themselves on fire when burning the flag(s), and the police (with a fire extinguisher) was trying to put them out ("Dude, you're on fire!").

Commies then claimed the police were pepper-spraying them.

Never let a good crisis go to waste...

Protesters set flag on fire. Then set themselves on fire. Then cop shouts, "You're on fire, stupid!"

One of the highlights of the RNC so far!

-—“the enemy is complacency” -—

that is my thought that allows me to sleep at night

hillary should be pleased by the complacency because that is what will allow her to continue breathing after Trump wins

The enemy of Maher and Moore”/ party isn’t complacency. It’s good, truth reality, etc...

Right. You read that, and you would think they were maced and arrested for the act of burning the American flag. Nothing could be further from the truth.

It is well established NOW that burning the American flag isn’t “hate speech”, it is constitutionally protected speech. Which is as it should be, as much as I despise and detest the act and those doing it.

If it were up to me, anyone burning our Flag is an eligible target from a variety of hostile resources.

These people are not ‘protesting.’

They’re inciting to riot.

Laura Ingraham nailed what the problem in America is last night. It's lack of respect across the board. And the government had a huge role in that by taking prayer / God out of the classroom and removing teachers and replacing them with indoctrinators, making it a crime to punish your child by using CPS to make people's lives miserable and they made sure most of them were minorities so they could give payback to whitey whenever an opportunity presented itself, by paying enough freebies so that people didn't have to work and build their own self-respect, etc...the list could go on forever but the bottom line is that the government has gone to such lengths to interfere with society that they changed the culture into an evil one by rewarding evil and punishing good, by secularizing it and making what is good seem evil and what is evil seem good (PC) by forcing people to accept their lies as truth, and changing the moral compass so that anything that feels good is right and that any and all behavior is acceptable which allowed an extreme form of evil to flourish that's never been experienced in the U.S. before on such a grand scale.

We got a lot of work to do to re-establish order and make America great again. The first things is to boot the community organizers and enemies out whose intentions were never good for the U.S. then maybe we can start the healing process.

"You're on fire, stupid!"

THAT WAS AWESOME!

You made my day. The only thing missing was them putting out the fire for him, and then macing him on the ground!

THIS is what I visualize should have happened here: Know your Rights!

(This is a hilarious parody of some leftist/libertarian guy doing an educational video about knowing your rights at a DUI Checkpoint!)

I’m sure the communists will support their comrade, Sanders, at the upcoming Democrat convention. I’m hoping anyway.

They are only burning it because they are upset that there is a black family in the White House #StealTheDemocratNarrative
