If they just wore shirts that said "Good Guy" the police wouldn't have to follow them around.

How to watch the Republican Convention 2016: RNC live stream, TV channel, and schedule of events
http://www.vox.com/2016/7/18/122131...on-2016-live-stream-tv-channel-shedule-events
Also on Twitch

I wouldn't rush to call people terrorists but I feel like they're just making themselves targets and adding no value at all.

I don't think this is a good term to throw around. It's the same tactic some foolish people use to refer to BLM.
Blame whoever decided it was a good idea to make it legal to open carry.

Wearing army gear and carrying assault weapons in plain sight looking for a fight, or why else would they be decked like that, is a terrorist in my view.
Ok and it will be on CNN? CNNGo is the best of the Apple TV 3 built in apps so it's the most convenient for me
Now I just gotta stop watching Rome for this shit, not sure if it's even worth it
Using violence or the threat of violence for political purposes is terrorism.
It's an accurate term. Peaceful protesters are going to be discouraged from making themselves heard due to intimidation from these armed thugs.
ter·ror·ism
ˈterəˌrizəm/
noun
the use of violence and intimidation in the pursuit of political aims.
CNN will be covering it, but I don't know if they will show all of the speeches. They will definitely be showing Melania's speech, but the other speeches I'm not sure on. It's on Twitch under "gopconvention" if Apple TV has a Twitch app!
He'll be introducing his wife. Probably by talking about himself for 20 minutes.

I think he's introducing his wife? But he will speak on Thursday to accept the nomination.

He will talk for at least 10 minutes FACT
I think these guys are idiots for doing this but they haven't used violence. Would you call the other black guy from the Dallas protest that was carrying a gun a terrorist as well?

When the panel of people you're talking with all give you the side-eye, perhaps you should rethink what you're saying.
Unless King wants to take responsibility for the good and the bad...
"and intimidation"
So anybody that looks intimidating for supposed political reasons is a terrorist. Okay then.

Violence and Intimidation, not Violence or Intimidation

Are we looking at the same anybodies? How often do you run into groups of heavily armed people patroling an area that that distinction is irrelevant?

It won't hurt him one bit. In fact, any opponent that would attempt to use it against him would likely hurt themselves. The only political competition he'd potentially see in his district is from someone even further right and at least as equally racist.

Yep, better than saying nothing. I think they are doing a fine job keeping the heat on Trump and his clown show of a party.

It's hilarious how these conventions are almost a fluff job by the party and even the media.

Fucking hell. Why don't you tell us more about these sub-groups Steve.
Is the full segment available? I've just got to know the context that leads into something like this.

It's pretty stunning that he just gets to say something racist, and the person on the board who it actively insults is not allowed to respond by the host.

Pretty sure he was letting that bullshit linger. If he let the others go ham on him it would have distracted people from the mountain of racist shit King spewed.

As expected, context just made it worse. Grand Wizard motherfucker letting it slip, or feeling the pride of it since he's surrounded by so many friends and colleagues.
And I've lost some of the remaining tattered shreds of respect for MSNBC to treat those statements as a laughing take on history.

Jeff Sessions (Senator, Alabama)
The longtime lawmaker is particularly terrifying, having supported Trump before he even had to
Rudy Giuliani (Former Mayor, New York City)
His experience presiding over chaotic disasters that had previously been unthinkable renders him uniquely qualified to appear at this years RNCs

Nah. Chris was right, he said it on his Twitter. It's something so far or there that litigating it only gives it credence. It's bullshit and racist and everyone already knows it.
what clown music?
