Cleveland bans cans, tennis balls, rope near Republican convention but guns are allowed

For security reasons, the City of Cleveland has banned a large list of items from public spaces outside this week’s Republican convention site, including metal-tipped umbrellas, water guns, string longer than six inches, canned goods and tennis balls.
However, Ohio’s “open carry” law means most guns will still be allowed in the streets and sidewalks outside of the private event spaces.
A request from Cleveland’s police union president to temporarily suspend the open carry law was denied Sunday by Republican Gov. John Kasich, who said he does not have the authority.
Still, supporters of Donald Trump and those there to protest his nomination both told CTV News Channel that they feel safe enough to gather downtown.
Republican Steve Thacker was there Sunday afternoon sporting a semi-automatic rifle and a handgun with dozens of rounds of ammunition, to “raise awareness,” he said, for his constitutional right to carry them.
Thacker said he has “absolutely no” safety concerns, but at the same time he urged fellow Republicans to “use common sense” and leave their guns at home once the convention is officially underway.
“It would take away from what we’re trying to accomplish here,” he added, “finding our next presidential candidate.”
Mick Kelly, a member of the Coalition to Stop Trump, was in Cleveland Sunday drumming up support for a protest march that will begin at noon on Monday.
Kelly said the demonstration – one of several large protests planned – will aim to show that “most Americans,” including blue collar workers like him, “consider Donald Trump to be a bigot.”
Here’s the full list of items banned in "public access areas”" near the convention zone.
Well there you go folks................conventioneers won't have to worry about such dangers as being beaned by a flying can of peas, falling ladders or a stray tennis ball.............no worries at all.

Sure and the owners of said businesses lobby to have laws written to keep them busy at the expense of tax payers.
I wonder what it will cost to deport 11 million rapists and what private company would take on an investment to succeed in this thus losing its market.
I've always been amused by the special kids who think that a company whose sole mission, and sole customer, is the government is a "private enterprise."
Blackwater, XE, Bechtel, Halliburton, and a hundred others that will be formed the moment such an initiative is announced.
We call 'em "beltway bandits."
Playing Paul Ryan's "Find the Minority" Game Ahead of GOP Convention
This week will be the GOP’s “Week of Whiteness” Convention, which will feature white speaker after white speaker until the final day, where they will coronate white supremacist Donald Trump as their supreme leader. In preparation, Speaker of the House Paul Ryan did his part in posting a picture of Congressional interns: a sea of white teeth and white skin. Social media backlash was swift, but Ryan still doesn’t know what all the hubbub is about. Isn’t this how America should look?
Annnnnd the liberal left responds...
Cheney won't be at the convention which leads me to believe Halliburton won't get the round up contract.
Watching the RNC.............though I might be forgiven for thinking it's actually the History Channel considering that the first speaker is some guy from a show called Duck Dynasty.
My bad..........meanwhile at the convention yet another TV personality by the name of Scott Baio is onstage.
Oh goody!! Clown show, tonight!!!
