[Webster]

Well @DrLeftover, I see festivities have begun up in Chicago....

(The Guardian) Two arrested during DNC-related protests on Sunday
Two people were arrested on Sunday during protests related to the Democratic national convention, according to Chicago police.

A 23-year-old female was arrested for criminal defacement of property and resisting/obstructing peace officer, CNN reported. A 28-year-old male was also arrested for criminal damage and resisting/obstructing peace officer.

About 40,000 protesters are expected to gather outside the convention on Monday to demonstrate against the war in Gaza.

there are, supposedly, 15,000 media people in town for the festivities.


And the update from HeyJackass:

This weekend presented the final few moments where silly decisions can go unchecked as once the DNCircus starts, (the appearance of) strict law and order will be in place for roughly five days.

Final Demonized Tally: 6 killed, 26 wounded
