The Lesbian who allegedly scarred herself to gain attention to the LGBT movement.
The guys who destroyed a Democratic campaign HQ in their town…who were actually Democrats themselves and did so to try to tarnish the opposing sides rep.

Or a girl who carved a "B" in her face and blamed it on Obama supporters.
Oh wait...she was a Republican.

If there was an "incident" at the RNC convention it would bring sympathy to their cause... Seems way more likely the opposite (DNC) would be attacked to draw sympathy.
Gee said his office is committed to having a strong presence in Tampa as well as protecting the rest of the county.
He said it is unprecedented for a sitting vice president to pop into a city where the opposing political party is holding its national convention.
Adding to the concern is Tropical Storm Isaac, which is forecast to affect the Tampa area on Monday. Evacuations and even cancellation of the RNC has been discussed. "We're stretched, no doubt, and we may become more stretched with this storm out there," Gee said.

The "Perfect Storm" so to speak.
But is Biden really that stupid to offer himself up as a sacrifice?
No amount of “We’ll keep you safe, Mr. Vice-President.”, from the Secret Service could convince me otherwise. The assassination of a sitting VP would be devastating to the Romney camp. But does anybody think he wants to be a martyr?
With Biden out of the way, Hillary would be the next VP.
More than likely, the one who most in the DNC actually want.
