Where's the protests? R Convention

I haven't heard much at all about protests at the RNC. Are any ongoing? My only news checking has been DU and CNN for about 10 minutes a day this week.

Just before the convention an older protest leader said there would be riots, tear gas and stuff.

Are the police just doing a good job at controlling the situation, are the protests just peaceful or is the media under reporting?

I haven't seen anything about them on DU except the code pink tennis ball post this morning.

Is anybody else a tad bit afraid of the crazies?

I follow politics and news but I don't really get involved, I'm pretty busy with my business and family. With all of the shootings, terror and whatever is going on, I get a bit afraid; most of it seems random.

Normally I can lower my risk by not going in the bad neighborhoods, but nowadays this stuff is going on everywhere.

I'm not only afraid of the randomness, but also how hard our government might crackdown on it and create chaos.

Too much vitriol (every side) and victim mentality pushing is creating chaos nobody needs.

Am I over feeling it?

Does anybody have Hillarys economic plan?

I'm wondering what her ideas are to work on the national debt.

She's a pragmatic but she's adopted some of Bernies ideas that are expensive and I'm wondering how this will play out in September/October especially in debates.

Anybody know where I can find any good details/analysis on what she wants to do?
