The RNC didn’t require a massive wall to keep out violent members of their own party. Local businesses in WI didn’t have to board up in fear of riots from Republicans.. This kind of thing is only needed for the true party of Tolerance through Hate, Fear, & Violence.

The LGBT for Palestine is hilarious. How can you anyone seriously that is marching for the group that will throw them off a roof? 😂

[rickmartin]

LGBTQ for Palestine is no different than CHICKEN for KFC

"The numbers dictate the route" Another mostly peaceful protest is coming. Make sure you have fire insurance.

This is why the usa politicians should mind their business and stay out of other countries conflicts. Politicians do it because of kickbacks and favors. Then we as usa born citizens have to deal with these issues like the protests.

These people are fortunate—the U.S. granted them asylum thanks to laws passed by Democrats. Ironically, they wouldn’t be allowed to protest in most Muslim countries.

The smell must be horrendous! That's why they need masks.

CHICAGO -ln the Democrat controlled Cook County, a corrections deputy was arrested Friday morning and appeared in court after dozens of sheets of paper soaked in illegal drugs were found at her home.

You don’t need to be surprised about the walls here for the DNC. BLM was horrible enough for us to suffer 😂

Get ready for much more of this. We'll see how much national coverage it gets

[steverakers]

What other rights go LGBT... need? Shoot, they get a whole freaking month of recognition whereas Veterans get one day. What rights are they not getting? Are they denied anything from the Bill of Rights that the rest of us enjoy?

As usual the city of chicago has grossly underestimated something

[shaylove]

Where were they during the RNC. I take none of them seriously.

Stop the terror now and free the hostages now

Y Are they doing this at such a historical moment for Afro American people?
In islam women dont get much rights so they come disregarding the dream afro- american women still even now have to fight that much more EXTRA harder to show that they are equal.
We will remember this

[FarmingUnclear]

Why are they protesting the person they will vote for? What's the alternative? They will have to vote for the DNC. They're just being annoying now.

You know this isn't going to go well
