This is great! The Dems want to defund the police, so they can have their convention without police protection. That is only fair.

I hope they have to pay through the nose for private security. They deserve whatever comes their way as a result of their idiotic policy proposals.

Rent-a-Dumbass will be their greatest security achievement. The dingbats deserve it.

That would be awesome to watch rioters clash with private security.

Of course, if anything bad happens, it will be Trumps fault.

How many here are old enough to remember 1968 Democratic convention? Well they had real police there and it was still total ciaos.
Imagine twice the anger and half the law enforcement.

I was only 10 years old, but I remember my parents having an election party.

I was 22 and my wife , along with her parents, wanted us to move TO Chicago. I resisted but she was so damn cute, I couldn't say no. After 7 years SHE had enough and we moved back to St Louis.

Truth be told, I loved Chicago in the 70's. Unbelievable opportunities for a guy willing to work hard. Wouldn't dream of doing it now.

You all do get that most of the convention is virtuale and held on-line, only about 300 people are expected to attend the in-person event.

So, those "security agreements" mentioned in the opening are nothing?

Probably were last year when they started planing, but now its probably more to do about nothing.
