Arapahoe County, just south of Denver, has decided to prevent protesters from carrying big sticks, projectile launchers and gas masks. They have not yet included OveGloves.
Denver has announced the designated "protest zone", "within view and earshot of delegates and others entering and leaving the Pepsi Center".
Some protesters-to-be are unhappy with scheduled availability to the DNC parade route saying, "the times it will be open for use—11 a.m. to 3 p.m.—guarantee protesters won't be seen by delegates, who arrive daily at the Pepsi Center at 4 p.m."
Man, I tell ya. Is it really a protest when every little thing is controlled? Not that I want any violence or anything like that. It's just like, wow, man, why is everyone so angry? When are we going to start working together to get something done? Why even have a convention? To create a platform for the campaign? Does anything from the platforms every come to fruition? I'm just sayin.

Depends on who's protesting....
This is a Democratic event.
The Code Pink ladies offer an anti-war protest and that's a good thing. Denver is a good place to do it.
But if any of the McLames are going to show up and whine about Hillary being a loser, they should be stuffed in a parking lot somewhere. Perhaps in Durango, or Grand Junction.
We should never tolerate those who seek to assist our enemy.
Investment
I guess it depends how much you are willing to put up to back your beliefs. The only thing stopping protesters from going wherever they want would be the Denver police. If you are willing to pay the price you might go to jail but I bet, unless you are really outrageous, you won't get your head split like Chicago in '68.
Just depends what you are willing to invest.

I would rank the Democrats platform third on this list but First in God references.
