Sadly the mob lacks the voice to debate coherently, so they resort to threats of violence. Fortunately, most are also cowards and nothing comes of their bluster. However, there are those few exceptions who, goaded on by the bleating of the sheeple will attempt some foolishness. That's why there will always be a need for men with guns to keep the rabble at bay.

CPT Jack Durish - Captain; The unfortunate flip side is that the rabble will also have guns.

Do I EXPECT to see a riot at the Republican National Convention? No. Will I be surprised if there is one? No. If there is one, do I think that there will be shooting? Yes. Do I think that the shooting will be all on one side? No.

My most sincere desire is that there are actually some cooler heads out there who will prevail - but I still don't have enough evidence to see that as better than a 60/40 chance.

COL Ted Mc - If there is a riot at either convention I can bet who will be leading the rabble

CPT Jack Durish - Captain; I doubt that it will be any of the usual "Rent-A-Mob" people.

Although the likelihood of riots at either convention is low, it is a whole lot lower at the Democrat's convention than it is at the Republican's convention.

There are always going to be people that will hate and waste their energy on counterproductive activities.

"Among those efforts is a website created last week under the name Superdelegate Hit List, providing phone numbers and addresses for superdelegates and encouraging users to submit further contact information, presumably to help advocates pressure them. Site creator Spencer Thayer, a Chicago activist, described the goal this way in a Twitter message: “So who wants to help start . . . a new website aimed at harassing Democratic Superdelegates?”"

MCPO Roger Collins - Master Chief; Is this going to be one of those days when I think that the *B*ES*T* way out of the mess is to get all the partisans into one place and issue them all baseball bats?

COL Ted Mc - Unfortunately, IMO if you use that tactic, it's the media that should be in the line up. They Demerara 90% of this.

MCPO Roger Collins - Master Chief; It wouldn't be fair to include the media. BOTH sides would attack them and THEN settle down to bashing each other.

(Which may not be all that bad an idea now that I think of it.)
