"...Ross told reporters he expects “more protests and more people” for Thursday’s DNC conclusion when Clinton accepts the presidential nomination. But despite this week’s incidents surrounding the DNC, Ross said the convention hadn’t been a strain on his resources.

I noticed that, too. Guess the poster just did a quick search for "proof" and was too lazy to actually look at date stamps. Typical.

What the hell is an anarchist socialist? Aren't they kinda, you know, opposites in every way?

Of course MSM won't report it. They would be going crazy if this had taken place in Cleveland.
Sure whatever you say. riots breaking out at the DNC and the main stream media wont report it? yeah right, on par with saying half the people at the convention are being paid to be there.

Seriously, there were a total of 6 arrests on Wednesday, SIX!
Chanting “We are the 99 percent,” about 100 Bernie Sanders supporters began marching across a bridge from New Jersey into Philadelphia in the sweltering heat Monday ahead of the opening of the Democratic convention.

There were 10,000 gathered in Chicago in 1968 and it wasn't the protestors who started the violence, that time it was the police and the National Guard.

I noted earlier a friend of mine was there and posting live feeds and he did say that the violence was caused by relatively few.
