No one is saying that protesters should be allowed INSIDE the convention...the debate is how far away protesters are allowed to gather...would you like to discuss this or continue throwing up strawmen?
How close is close enough for you? Rifle shot distance? Firebomb distance? Ground attack distance? Don't think those aren't possibilities because they certainly are.

People can fire a gun in a movie theater. Do we keep people X feet from a movie theater? This is just another strawman.
I don't support people disrupting the conventions but if they want to protest directly across the street, this is where they should be.

This is one thing that really bothers me. It hit a pinnacle during the Occupy Wall Street protests. Illegal.

Gotta love the extreme strawman built from imaginations of the weakminded.
Don't have a logical rebuttal...built a strawman that looks scary....don't have any fact...build a strawman that looks scary...still can't hang with the discussion....call names.
Who would guarantee that? And who would guarantee nobody ever taking advantage of that?
