  • Police Maintain Peace: Trump Nomination Official Law & Order: Cleveland Cleveland, Ohio – 4:00PM local time, multiple protests converged at the Republican National Convention, coming to a head at Public Square near the Soldiers and Sailors Monument. The monument is the property of the county, despite efforts to make it part of the city. Columbus police guard it proudly. On Day 2 of #RNC2016, a great divide occurred in the Square. Progressive and Black Lives Matter movements, along with socialist groups, positioned themselves to counter the words of right-wing radio host and Infowars founder, Alex Jones. Jones’ words, delivered on a podium set for such speeches, were met with instant chaos. The police were forced to escort him off stage and into a waiting patrol car ... cont.' @ www.LimaCharlieNews.com #USMC #USArmy #Marines #ArmyStrong #USNavy #USAF

The monument stands as a testament to the 10,000 Cuyahoga county residents who fought for the Union in the Civil War. Their names are etched in the marble inside the edifice’s Memorial Tablet Room, a tribute to the unity they sought to restore to their nation. As Republicans enter the Buckeye State on Monday, to usher in the new face of the party ticket, this monument—and Cleveland Square—served as a backdrop to a palpable dichotomy: On one hand, presuming that the new insurgency in the Republican Party is unable pull off an upset, the events at the convention will turn into a multimedia coronation of Donald Trump—the official beginning to the GOP’s opportunity to coalesce around the nominee ... cont.' @ www.LimaCharlieNews.com RNC2016 #RNC #Trump #Cleveland #USArmy #USMC #Marines #ArmyStrong
