Paul thanked the DC police following the incident.

Just got attacked by an angry mob of over 100, one block away from the White House. Thank you to @DCPoliceDept for literally saving our lives from a crazed mob.

Former combat veteran Rep. Brian Mast (R-FL) was also harassed by a group of protesters who began to aggressively ask what he thinks of police killing black men in America, to which he replied that any killing was unfortunate. To the surprise of no one, they were not satisfied with his answer.

Another GOP Convention attendee and his wife were badgered as they walked down the street towards a parking garage.

Time to start hunting parties. These groups have leaders. Find them, neutralize them, but first, their families. That will end this.

If people don't want to go lethal on these creatures, they should carry mace, bear spray, or wasp & hornet spray to discourage bad behavior.

they should carry mace

I got busted in Chicago with a can of CS tear gas in the glove box.

They considered that to be a weapon. It shows up on my rap sheet as UUW. But that is NOT a firearms charge. ;)
