OP
Some of those Trump supporters may need sleeping bags and water guns to be entertained.

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.

Not I recommend doing that.

I can't believe they're going to allow guns,I wouldn't go anywhere near that place if true.
