Republican Convention 2016/ Cleveland

I'll put the over/under on deaths at 3.

It should be enough for Trump to win the election (barring my suspicions that he's throwing the election being legit). The black presence (and, by extension, Obama) will be blamed and it should be difficult for Obama's party (particularly when the candidate is a pariah) to overcome.

Making matters worse, the state's open-carry gun laws have the head of "Bikers for Trump" telling CNN that Cleveland's streets could turn into "the O.K. Corral."

Ohio state law does not regulate the carrying of guns, meaning that entrants to the convention's 1.3 square mile secure zone are prohibited from bringing, among other things, weapons like swords, hatchets, axes, slingshots, BB guns, pellet guns and metal knuckles, but will be allowed to openly hold live firearms. (Guns are not allowed inside the arena itself, which has a ban on "weapons of any kind.")

anybody that supports open carry hopefully can now see the madness it can cause

Yup. You have one of the most despised political front runners in our nation's history and you are openly allowing guns in the area. I mean, what's the worst that could happen. The stupidity of some is unbelievable.

Pence will be the Palin kryptonite to his McCain, mark my words, just for his anti gay feelings alone especially after Orlando.

Pence was a smart pick compared to anyone else rumored to be VP. He will help unite the GOP.

Big week here in Ohio, this really puts conservatives in a tough spot...they are supposed to be the party of law and order, the big time police and troop supporters, which is now diametrically opposed to their big love for the NRA insanity that is open-carry.

EUCLID, OHIO - Police say a fatal shooting occurred Sunday at Sims Park Beach in Euclid at 23131 Lakeshore Boulevard.

Police say it occurred during an impromptu, resident-organized “Stop the Violence Beach Party.” There were approximately 200-300 in attendance at the party, according to police.

A crowd had gathered on the beach and, shortly after 8 p.m., police say unknown suspects fired shots and then ran away.

Although the intended target is unknown, police say Phillip Banks, 19, of Euclid, was struck in the head and killed by the gunfire. He was taken by EMS from Sims Park to Euclid Hospital where he was pronounced dead.

A twelve-year-old Euclid boy was struck in the back by the gunfire and was hospitalized for treatment. His condition is currently unknown.

Police said that, shortly after 9 p.m., a Euclid man, 18, was walking nearby in the area of 24000 Lakeshore Boulevard. That's when an unknown suspect fired multiple gunshots at the victim from across the street, striking the victim in the shoulder, according to the police.

He was hospitalized for treatment and his condition is unknown, according to police.

No other injuries were reported in either incident and no arrests have been made. Police are investigating the possibility that the two incidents are related.

No further information is being released.

The Euclid police are asking anyone with any information regarding either of the shootings contact the Detective Bureau at 216.289.8505.

Sounds more like a gang hit, then anything to do with the convention.

I guess people will blame anything that happens in Cleveland because of the convention. Hope they do the same next week in Philly as well.
