Supposedly there are now 75k antifa members assembling in Chicago for the DNC convention. Any thoughts as to how that may play out?

Well, I believe I mentioned that the only thing I could find were articles about pro-Palestinian groups planning to protest.  So, if it's too much trouble for you to back up your "facts," we can assume your discussion is based on conjecture.

It is based on geo tracking of people's cell phone. And the number of Antifa protests they attended in the past. 

A copy from another post in thread :

I admit I know nothing of details but I question why anyone's cell phone is being GPS tracked by others. I hope everyone being tracked has been notified they are being tracked.

It is likely in the terms of service in our cell phone contracts. 
I know gov used GPS tracking for Jan6 protesters.  

I'm rambling.
I wonder if the GPS is included in a cell phone without any choice by the consumer of the phone. I would not buy a phone if GPS was "automatically" included.
Even more rambling --  I disagree with anyone using GPS for anyone to track them, regardless the person's political interests. Related to a discussion I saw elsewhere on the site, I find the GPS 'tracking' very close to the chip being installed in us. 

Rambling over.

I have never seen a smart phone that did not come with a GPS program pre-installed.    I keep my location turned off. But they can probably still get location information from incoming calls and texts etc. 
I agree close to a chip but again we are being required to use it.

Thanks for your help.

Wow, I really disagree with the GPS being already in them. Especially in how it seems to be used in the two groups of people from January 6 and the recent/current convention.

Another wow, the more I think. (and I can overthink, ha. So I may do well to focus more on the beautiful music to which I'm listening at the moment.)

Thanks again.

The DNC is not having businesses board up their windows. The businesses are choosing to do it on their own. 

Chicago has a different history than Milwaukee when it comes to protests.

Of course the DNC is not telling them to.  They are being smart enough to do it themselves. At the RNC Milwaukee, businesses did not have to do that, they just enjoyed more customers. 

I do not think it matters what town the DNC chose the violent protesters were going to follow.  We shall see how it works out. Hopefully,  no one get hurt or suffers property damages.
