They love to toss around words like authoritarian and Nazis when referring to Republicans, but throw a few protests in their direction and they're ready to throw away the Constitution and send in the riot police.

Revoke all permits for protests immediately
The protestors have made it clear they are only there to cause chaos and hurt people and damage property.
Cancel all permits and clear the area before people get hurt.
We don't need another 1968 playing out on live TV. The stakes are to high and it's literally just the first day and they are already turning violent.

2. They are already breaking through the gates
And people have been hurt.
The last thing you want is another 1968 playing out on live TV. ****ing TSF and the Republicans would burn us alive and could hurt the VPs poll numbers.
We cannot afford any issues.

10. They became violent
Given how critical this is we cannot afford to let it become out of control or a circus.
We cannot allow that violence to hurt her poll numbers. we cannot let the news media stories be about violent protests and push the convention to a side story because the news media would live that to happen.
So, they don't actually care about the violence, the arsons, the vandalism, the looting, they only care about how it reflects on Kamala's numbers.

25. With that logic
All of the BLM protests would have been illegal.

32. Burning down buildings
And killing people is not protesting.
If we wait until that is happening then the news media and Republicans have already won because they will crucify Democrats.
I don't give a shit about those protestors, I only care about VP Kamala Harris becoming president.
Screw your rights if they interfere with Kamala's campaign. And I can't believe nobody chimed in and claimed all the BLM violence was caused by right-wing agitators. That's been there go-to excuse for years.

39. No I'm against
Allowing these people to protest but just not to hurt the election. I truly don't give a shit about them. I only care about VP Harris getting elected. That is all that matters.

46. Noted.
You are not a protector of rights when it gets in the way of your political goals.
Yep, spoken like a typical dictator. The ends justify the means. Mao, Stalin, Pol Pot, Chavez, etc. would all be proud.

12. Don't cancel, move them to some nothing parcel of shit land outside the city.
That's better than they deserve. **** those useful idiot twits.
Ah yes, move them far away so the big wigs aren't accidently exposed to them. I remember when the DUmp had fits over the Secret Service establishing designated "protest zones" during the presidencies of Bush and Trump, but now they're completely comfortable with shipping these protesters to a gulag. On a different thread they were upset that the police hadn't already broken out tear gas and rubber bullets. They have no problem with the US becoming a dictatorship, as long as it's their dictator in charge. They aren't smart enough to look at history and see how that never works out well for anybody.
