If you live here , like I do and see the freak show that came here for this . You'ed know why they cleared out the jail most are obama's 2 year unemployement check receivers with nothing to do except cause problems.
So why aren't they "protesting" (saving up bricks) for the people who hold power in this current govt?You know The "other guys" who are in charge of two out of three branches????????.

CNN - Agencies warn of .....
as of March, the FBI had intelligence indicating individuals from New York "planned to travel to Tampa and attempt to close" all of the Tampa Bay-area bridges during the Republican National Convention next week.
This is not protest, it's just plain old fashioned thuggery and criminal activity.
The bulletin says that law enforcement agencies believe most protesters at the conventions will obey laws and not commit violent acts, but that anarchists are the most likely exceptions.
Seems like a fair assessment to me. The police are not interested in bothering real protestors at all. Anarchists are something else entirely.
When people attempt peaceful protests, they are also attacked, set up, beaten and thrown in jail. It's happened so many times that it's sickening.
So what is your answer here? Just stop protesting?
Because peaceful protests don't work and anything more labels it as 'Thuggery'.
So what else can be done? Because there are about 300,000,000 people who are going to want the answer.
Peace

We live in a corporate dictatorship, Americas Democratic process was nothing but a distraction while the power of the Republic was killed.
That corporate dictatorship is the one that runs the circus in the nation to make people believe that they have public serves elected by the voters.
Meanwhile the private interest write the laws in the nation screwing the populations constitutional rights, draining the economy to benefit them, all in the name of for the safety of the nation and national security.
The only security that is put on top of agendas is that of the corporate power.
I wonder when America is going to wake up and smell the ugly crap that is taking hold of this nation.
If Tampa bull crap doesn't open the eyes of the unbeliever I guess nothing will.
Can't add anything but a Star fer ya!
Well put.
Peace

How many anarchists do they assume will be there? Enough to fill an entire prison? I see your point and I agree, as do others, that among peaceful protesters are trouble makers who ruin it for everyone. The conspiracy surrounding the trouble makers can go either way, but how big are these anarchist groups?
The prison is capable of holding 1,000 prisoners and I would guess 2-3 times that when using the yard, gym, lunch room etc. Maybe more.
If they were only expecting to arrest a few or a few hundred, why would they need such a large facility? And why such a secure one? What happened to hangars, warehouses etc?
Peace

They had to empty out the jails full of criminals, to make room for protestors.
Shows you exactly where this country is heading.
The Department of Homeland Security and the FBI have released a bulletin warning of the threat posed by violent anarchists who may use explosives devices to cause havoc during the event.

This is a jail facility. In addition to other types of criminals and felons, A jail houses those who have not had the benefit of a trial to address the charges filed against them. In the United States, one has the opportunity to be tried for the charges against them, and is presumed innocent until proven guilty. Once proven guilty, the offender is sentenced. A sentence may include anything ranging from a fine, a jail sentence, or a sentence to a state or federal prison.

been there done that. how's THAT working for ya? there is no way there will ever be a revolution in this country with weapons again. there is no way a shotgun is going to take out a tank or drone missle so your ideas of beating the govt back is silly. WE HAVE THE FRIGGIN INTERNET TODAY!!! what ever happened to "the pen is mightier than the sword?"
I tell you, I'd bet money some of the people here supporting civilian unrest and violent activities are the ones who's job it is to put protesters in jail.

we would need something waaaay bigger than the Orient Road jail, that's for sure
for those who aren't aware, the Oj is more a processing facility than a holding center.
yes, some are held at the jail after trial but not many hardened criminals like the msm would like everyone to think.

I see, so the prisoners they let out are not necessarily convicts.
Still some of them may be.
