1. Are they thinking of fucking PLOWING HUMAN BEINGS?!!

What the fuck is going on over there?! Damn the RNC. I am horrified by this, absolutely horrified.

2. The Older lady was amazing, "WE ARE THE LAST LINE OF DEFENSE"

She's right. We are. This is our democratic right to protest and they are tear gassing us, threatening us with plows. That's non-sense. The RNC is blatantly anti-America and yet they are allowed to fester their hate filled rally upon us. HATE-FILLED!!! Using the police officers to do their dirty work.

3. I can't open the links but whatever is happening sounds

like our police state gone amok.

4. reporters running from riot police

They sound trapped - they just commented that they think they're going to jail.

5. How to see the latest video:

This page will automatically start streaming any feeds that are going out live. Currently a group of citizen reporters just managed to get out of the riot police lockdown zone. A bit ago their car had been surrounded by riot police, and told, quote: "GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE CAR AND RUN!"

That was just bizarre. And yes, they got out of their car and fucking ran.
