They still were not allowed in the barrier zone that was setup, or in the convention it's self.
got ya! but still, no mass shooting around the rnc even with all those scary "military" type weapons.
Was there a threat of one?
Love how success these days is not having a mass shooting...
Everyone on these boards cry about how terrible open carry is and love to point out every time a weapon is used in an illegal way. There s not too many times where people own up and admit they are wrong. Hence the mention of the success of open carry at the rnc.

I'm just saying. If success is not having a mass shooting, we live in a fucked up country.
Reminds me of the Chris Rock piece where he talks about people wanting a cookie for paying their bills or raising their kids...that's what you're supposed to do.

Texas is an open carry state. Didn't stop those cops from being killed. In fact, there were people in the protest that were carrying long rifles. When the shooting started, they werent raising their weapons. They were running like the rest of them. I'm not sure what I'm wrong about.

I know you can't be neutral around here, but now this show is over what would any independent, neutral voters make of it? From the UK it is just seems equal parts dumb and scary, but will this inspire new voters for the usual post-convention polling bounce? Is there any impartial media reporting left to indicate any clues?
I mentioned this elsewhere but perhaps worth repeating here: I spent the day with a friend from Germany and 4 other members of his family (also from Germany) and they all agreed (without my even bringing up the subject) that the vast majority of Europeans think Americans are crazy (their word) for nominating Donald Trump. They are perplexed that this could happen.
Was that before or after today's events?
I'm in Europe. It doesn't change a thing. Trump supporters are perpetuating the stereotype that Americans (and clearly some Canadians) are uneducated, immature and insular.
Haha....clearly some Canadians...Well played. That being said Europe has embraced that stereotype of Americans since 1776 and I do not imagine that it will ever change. I know that I did my "backpack" trip of europe during the Clinton administration and even then we were told to sew canadian flags on our packs so that god forbid we wouldn't be mistaken for being American. I wasn't mature enough back then to recognize what a slap in the face that was to the US but I certainly do now. What the people of Europe and globally should no longer be "perplexed" about is that the Trump voter has finally decided to tell you all to GFY. They don't care anymore. They look at the European project as one massively failed boondoggle and they are tired of backstopping it with their dollars and their soldiers. Now I personally don't like where that attitude is heading but Europe needs to know that they and the world have brought this upon themselves. You can't piss on Americans and their traditions for all eternity and then expect them to just shut up and maintain the status quo. It is not in their nature and if they come to the decision that your continent is no longer worth saving then they won't.

Angry much? Your view of Europe and the world is, well, BS.
