Guns OK, sleeping bags and tape forbidden

Regarding the July 18 Republican Convention:

Bresler noted that firearms will be allowed in the “event zone” because of Ohio’s status as an open carry state, even though other more mundane items will be banned — from water guns to tape to sleeping bags.

So much hate inside and outside. The group who was confronted in Sacramento last weekend plan on attending the convention. They will have larger numbers. And Theywant revenge and it is going to get ugly. I looked at a right wing site and they are ginning up the hate saying "how dare the minorities go after our patriots, we have to avenge them". The comments made me scared and ill at the same time. I didn't want to believe there was that cesspool of hateful pus.
