RNC 'security' makes Delegates choose between RNC Event and Ron Paul (per blog)

[Bruno]

The GOP is a big tent.

I'll get some pictures tomorrow, but I live on the same street as Tropicana field, and my road is being blocked off by 10 foot tall barbed wired fencing on top of concrete barricades. This WALL stretches about 20 blocks. It's ridiculous!

Who is paying for all this security and yet this RNC is PRIVATE CLUB lol. Maybe this private club must pay for their own security then they couldn't afford so many Ron Paul obstacles.

here ya go, if anyone needs this, I live pretty much in the middle of this "corral", this is an interactive map of the road closures, parking restrictions, etc.

Several roads around Tropicana Field will be closed on Saturday August 25, 2012 and Sunday August 26, 2012 for the kickoff of the RNC. Parking restrictions will be clearly posted by Monday August 20, 2012. Vehicles parked in restricted areas will be ticketed and relocated. Residential parking permits will not exempt vehicles from thes restrictions. View the Interactive RNC Traffic Map for details. If your vehicle is relocated call 727-893-7780.

lovely...so you get a ticket for parking at your residence, oh and I am sure "relocated" means "impounded".

Wow. That reminds me of when Pope John Paul II visited the Des Moines are in 1979. We lived 3 miles away and yet had to have special stickers to enter our neighborhood which was guarded by the Iowa national guard.

It bothers me that RP is not going public with this stuff. He could call a press conference and spell things out.

i know ! that is my number one complaint , Dr Paul needs to stand up and call them out on CNN!

Why use a blunt force object when a scalpel will do?

 

[Matt Collins]

Just stop the bus outside the security perimeter and let people walk through.

No one will be allowed into Tropicana Field unless they are a VIP or on a bus, or a credentiled member of the media; foot traffic is prohibited.

I think Ron is being threatened.

Let's not be ridiculous

I strongly suspect it was to get rid of the grand entrance Ron's follks wanted.

This sounds much more realistic... not sayin', just sayin'

What scalpel? Where is the scalpel?

Give it time....

what if we don't value what you see as a win as much as what is being given up?

Who said anything is being given up?
