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.

Been watching Fox Business channel which did such a good job of covering the protests last night - so far nothing - maybe they just decided to fall in line with the rest of the MSM in showing how “unified” the ‘rats are.....

Well, I spoke too soon - for about ten minutes before Obama started BSing, Fox Business was showing a large crowd - estimated by those there at being about two thousand - outside the fence chanting, holding up signs - mostly Bernie supporters still upset, but also apparently a small group of what were described as “anarchists” dressed in black and wearing masks - a few apparently managed to break through the entrance and were being chased inside the compound by police - plenty of police on hand and the protestors do not appear to be menacing them - just expressing their disgust with the ‘rat party - guess the unification isn’t going so well after all.....
