From Cleveland Plain Dealer:

Quote
Two legal groups monitoring Cleveland's plans for the Republican National Convention on Wednesday pointedly criticized the city's newly announced rules for the event, calling them "unacceptable."

"I do know this is something where there are a lot of lawyers looking at what the city is doing and wanting to protect people's free speech rights," said Jocelyn Rosnick, a leader with the local chapter of the National Lawyers Guild, a left-leaning group. "It just seems like with the plans they've released ... so far just don't cut it, are unacceptable and far too restrictive."

(remainder snipped)

So I guess they're upset that they won't be able to carry containers of urine and feces to the convention.  :huh?:

Why's everyone worried? You are allowed to take your towel. And as long as you always know where your towel is ....

Any projectile launchers, such as water guns and water cannons;

Isn't a projectile by definition a solid item?

Well, projectile vomit is pretty liquid .... and I do expect to see some of that at the convention.

Darn it, how will people have a convention without grappling hooks? And no drones? Why aren't trump supporters allowed? (just a joke folks, lighten up.)

Tennis balls?  What about baseballs, soccer balls, ping pong balls, golf balls....

Of course there is a very bad joke here that I will leave for others.  I'll just say that many many Republicans are used to leave them at home.

I'm sure tiny balls are allowed, like long long balls and marbles.

Never mind that (you only need the grappling hooks if you get there late anyway) - how are they going to have a convention at all?

Incendiary devices are banned. Means no speeches.

It's a good thing the list didn't include intellectual depravity or no Trump supporters, or Trump himself, would be allowed to enter :pondering:
