Stay Safe Cleveland

Although I hope the entire clown show blows up in their face, I mean it metaphorically, not literally.

I pray for all DU and non-DU friends and family to stay safe. I pray it's only a circus, but things can get crazy fast. I lived through Chicago in 1968 (OK, I was only 3 but I remember my parents worrying about it).

Prayers and hugs

I'm glad I am no where near there right now. If I was still in Ohio, I'm sure I would be planning a vacation somewhere far away for this week.

opposing protesters, open-carry allowed outside convention hall, Hell's Angels bikers......I had hoped to just watch a circus for 4 days......too much volatility in Cleveland makes me very nervous.

Spectators, delegates, everyone.

The more empty seats the better.

Yeah, I think everybody here feels the same. We've had more than enough trouble in the past few weeks.

... they bring their hate, their violence, their robbery and immoral evil with them. Being in their presence is the very definition of unsafe.

Indeed. Here's hoping everybody behaves themselves. Make it about goofy souvenir collecting, everybody.

... pack some water, food, and charged up iphones cause I bet you 5 bucks you're going to get caged right there in the middle of the street. All they have to do is close the ends up and there you are.
And beware of those ninja-looking bike cops. Did anyone see those dudes yesterday (Sun.)
