Awake Goy 
Print FriendlyThere were protests inside and outside of the Republican National Convention where Donald Trump is becoming the nominee of the party. Protesters from the right and left were outside including evangelicals, gun rights advocates and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones. Jones caused the only notable conflict when he attacked anti-capitalist protesters and was removed from the area by police. While people braced for a lot of conflict outside of the RNC and police were brought in from other parts of Ohio and the region, there has been little conflict and few arrests. On Tuesday there were only three arrests for those raising a banner at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame that exlaimed “Don’t Trump Our Communities.” That protest was focused on stopping fracking and on immigration. The protests were creative, humorous, mocking of Trump and covered a wide range of progressive issues including opposition to war, ending deportation, welcoming refugees, racism, police abuse, the failures of capitalism and more. CODE PINK was able to get into the convention to raise banners in favor of welcoming refugees, but they were quickly surrounded by supporters of Trump. There has been very little coverage of the protests so we have compoled some tweets of the protests against Donald Trump.
