The DNC has come to town in Chicago, Illinois.
You know what that means.
They get special protection with 100s of National Guard troops.
To be fair, they should be there every day.
But the Dems are a divided party on it’s last leg.
And many aren’t happy with the decisions the Dem leaders have been making.
So the protestors are pouring in, just as they guessed they would.
Illinois Governor JB Pritzker activated 100s of National Guard troops to protect Democrat officials at the DNC from protestors and rioters.

Now there’s 2 main walls protecting the DNC.
Funny how they don’t like walls at the border, saying they’re pointless yet they put them up around their convention.
Well, looks like their ‘walls’ aren’t doing any good.
The first security perimeter fence has been breached.
And this is just Day 1 of the convention.
This should be one entertaining week!

The protesters are calling on top Democrats to stop sending weapons to Israel and to end the war in Gaza.

Associated Press reports:
Dozens of protesters broke through a security fence near the site of the Democratic National Convention on its opening day Monday as thousands took to the streets to voice their opposition to the war in Gaza.
Families with babies in strollers, students, elected leaders and others holding signs and flags joined the march to the United Center, where the convention is being held, to call for a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war. As the larger group marched peacefully, a few dozen who broke away tore down pieces of the security fence.
ADVERTISEMENTSeveral protesters who had managed to get through the fence were detained and handcuffed by the police. Officers put on gas masks as some protesters tried to bring down a second fence set up in front of police. Authorities said the inner security perimeter surrounding convention site was not breached and there was no threat to those attending the convention.
Chicago Police Superintendent Larry Snelling said some of the protesters who took down the fence threw water bottles and other items at police. Police de-escalated the situation without using their batons or chemicals, he said.
“When you have people infiltrate a crowd and they want to commit acts of violence, vandalism we are going to stop them,” said Snelling, who walked in a group of officers ahead of the protesters Monday. “We are not going to tolerate anyone who is going to vandalize things in our city.”
Members of the crowd chanted “End the occupation now” and then “The whole world is watching!” just as anti-Vietnam War protesters did during the infamous 1968 convention in Chicago when police clashed with protesters on live television. Families gathered on their porches and outside their doors as protesters marched by. Some children wore keffiyeh, blew bubbles or held “free fist bumps” signs.
The march happened just as President Joe Biden, who has been the target of intense criticism from pro-Palestinian groups, including the marchers, was doing a walk-through of the largely empty United Center. Biden was scheduled to address the party in the evening.
“Biden, you can’t hide. We charge you with genocide,” the marchers chanted amid the beating of drums. They also referred to him as “Genocide Joe” and lodged similar chants at Vice President Kamala Harris.

Since Democrats love invaders so much, it’s ironically fitting that they get a taste of it:

Who cares if food and shelter is unaffordable?
All they want is the right to terminate babies.
As a famous ginger once said, they need to sort out their priorities.
