With the Democrats still calling for violence on President Trump and Republicans, even after the assassination attempt, is there any wonder this is happening?
A masked man wielding an AK-47 with a full magazine was apprehended just blocks from the Republican National Convention (RNC) in Milwaukee on Monday night. Homeland Security investigators and Capitol police spotted the individual approaching the RNC perimeter near the Fiserv Forum. The man, donning a ski mask and carrying a tactical bag, was quickly taken into custody.

Milwaukee Police confirmed the 21-year-old’s arrest, and charges are pending. U.S. Capitol Police first noticed the man around 1 p.m. Monday, describing him as “suspicious” with a ski mask and large tactical backpack. Upon stopping him, officers discovered he had a concealed firearm but no permit.
This incident comes on the heels of an assassination attempt on former President Trump, which significantly heightened security at the RNC. Over the weekend in Butler, Pennsylvania, Thomas Crooks attempted to assassinate Trump with an AR-15, resulting in the death of one rally attendee before a counter-sniper neutralized him.

Adding to the tension, police shot and killed another man on Tuesday near the convention perimeter, close to 14th and Vliets streets. Witnesses reported a fight in King Park, where one man brandished a knife, prompting police to intervene with lethal force. Will Democrats continue their violent rhetoric, that they are all too willing at all times to accuse Republicans of?
