Almost 300 people have been arrested so far while protesting the Republican National Convention in Minnesota.
Thousands of people showed up to protest the convention in Saint Paul, and police say a group of almost 200 protesters turned violent Monday afternoon smashing windows and throwing trash cans in the street.
Police arrested at least 284 people, most of them are facing misdemeanor charges.
More protests are expected Tuesday as the convention continues.

The Democrats only believe in free speech when they are the ones doing the talking. That's why they push for the 'fairness doctrine'. Conservative talk radio is kicking their tales, and liberal talk radio can't make any money without government help or some other sort of assistance. I would be willing to bet that if you follow the money on these demonstrators it would track back to George Soros. He probably made sure that it can't be traced to him though.

Hey protesters!! How oxymoronic does it sound to violently protest a war? Kinda like lets protest violence with violence.
