I can agree that there are people there to protest the DNC and maybe even that they're "DNC protesters" (I think it's misleading at this point, they seem far more like "pro-Palestine" protesters looking for places to protest). BUT here is the key piece of information -- they left the DNC! They did not protest the DNC last night, and they could have. They physically walked somewhere else and protested there instead. And it's miles away. And it's actually a much more logical place to have a pro-Palestine protest, considering the President advocated for an immediate ceasefire from the DNC floor on Monday night.

Its simple as this: Rules say the arrested protestors need to be protesting the DNC. If they got arrested for looting or something like assaulting an officer during their Pro-Palestina riots, it does not count.

The CPD indicated in their press conference that they'd update with more accurate numbers once confirmed. So even if all arrests do in fact count, the number should be less than what that lawyer non-profit claimed.

The National Lawyers Guild is now putting the number at "more than 70" today, meaning a total of at least 83. https://x.com/NLGChicago/status/1826139648772423996

The organizer of the protest where 70+ got arrested said in the protest invitation that the protest is against the DNC. The person speaking to the crowd during the protest called on the crowd for them to "shut down the DNC." They are clearly making the protest now because of the DNC and to influence the DNC on the topic of the war in Gaza. The proximity to the actual DNC doesn't matter as long as it's in Chicago. In 1968, the main anti-DNC prostests took place in Lincoln and Grant Parks, 6 and 4 miles away from the International Amphitheater where the DNC was held. The Tuesday protestors chose the Israeli consulate because they're protesting against Israeli actions, and Biden's support for them, trying to influence the DNC. Protests can have multiple aims at the same time, there's nothing unusual in that. The important part was that the Tuesday protest was also against DNC and was happening because of the DNC. We are yet to see if the arrests were in fact arrests and not detentions, but at least the lawyers representing the people claim so. To claim that the arrests are not in connection of protesting the DNC is a manipulation, and we can meet at UMA voting if someone believes otherwise. I'm happy to cash in $750 for your bond.

Ignore the scammers trying to convince you there are holes in the Rules. According to their "understanding" it would be impossible for this market to ever be a "Yes". The protests happening right now in Chicago are all anti-DNC and Yes betters are obviously not responsible to "prove" what they identity and beliefs are. The resolution states the resolution is from the government and reporting that have BOTH considered these "protests" to be anti-DNC.

Guys, just look at the top holders. Of the Top 10 No holders, only one has a negative P/L, these guys know what they are doing. You have to carefully read and understand the rules. This is gonna feel like a huge rug pull for a lot of people. Don’t say you haven’t been warned!

Main stream media labels the protests as "Pro-Palestine protests" Not as "Anti-DNC protests":
