PHILADELPHIA — Protests outside of the Democratic National Convention turned chaotic and veered into violence Tuesday night in Philadelphia, with at least one fistfight breaking out...

Vincent McGrath, a 56-year-old retiree and Hillary Clinton supporter, was sitting on top of a Camaro convertible holding "Blue Lives Matter" and Clinton signs. Several protesters went right up to him, middle fingers extended, and hurled insults.

"Get a job," McGrath responded...

A Philadelphia police officer on the scene, and one of the protesters' legal advisers, both said at least four arrests had been made by nearly 10:30 p.m. on Tuesday, though the Philadelphia Police Public Affairs Office said they were waiting to confirm the number and would release that information when they had it...

A man standing with his son on a median, wearing civilian clothes, said "Here come the Palestinians" as protesters engulfed them.

I’d have to double at least my Carvedilol and Exforge to get through watching the convention straight, but Fox News and Business have enough commentators on along with the Dems that it’s bearable - the Gerry Rivers clip was from earlier in the day played by I think Stuart Varney, who seemed to enjoy what had happened....

Not many of us, other than government workers, have the luxury of retiring comfortably in our 50’s.>>> true but many years ago my dad took and early buy out from Arco at 55. worked till he was 68 when my mom could start collecting ss. He never regretted getting out. he saw too many friends die in fires.

Doesn’t anyone have a video camera in Philadelphia? None of the links elsewhere seem to work.

FoxBiz showed the protesters...hopping the BarryCade, marching away and meeting up with BLM group, Jill “Ima Opportunist” Stein, etc, etc, right up until Slick’s speech. Didn’t you see all of that??

4 arrests, 1 fistfight, hurling insults, flipping the bird...and they call this disorder erupting? Pffft. I'm disappointed that it looks like the little faux anarchists are a plate of weak nothing burgers. It's the snowflake generation gone wild!

Been busy. Haven’t seen any video of this “disorder” I keep hearing about. Billy already spoke?

Wow, you are behind :^)

Yes, Slick told his tall, but crooked tales. Took him a long while, but he finally got his rewritten history story out.

It is possible for military veterans to retire with 20 years and be 38 years old.

He got one thing correct......Hillary was ugly when they met. Some history just can't be rewritten believably.

I’m afraid to ask who those people consider allies.
