"That would largely depend on what happens there, wouldn't it?" Yes. I am watching the indicators, and it isn't to clear what we should expect yet. Here are my what ifs. 1) The predictions for riots are so strong that the security preparations anticipating it may turn out to be effective at handling things without noticeable incidents. 2) Some excitement has been generated, so it could produce a self fulfilling prophesy. People may show up expecting and generating volatility. 3) There is bound to be some level of rallying and protesting no matter what. 4) Denver is not known for rioting, so we may be seeing the uninformed media hyping something that doesn't have legs. However, if Obama still has strong numbers and Hillary gets over the top with super delegates, things could get ugly. -------------- "The West Coast Longshoremen demonstrated against the war with a work stoppage today..." There were anti-capitalist and pro-labor org demonstrations all over the world today. May 1st has become an international holiday for anti-capitalists.
