Title: DHS Gears Up For Civil Unrest Prior To Presidential Elections

The Department of Homeland Security has ordered masses of riot gear equipment to prepare for potential significant domestic riots at the Republican National Convention, Democratic National Convention and next year’s presidential inauguration.

The DHS submitted a rushed solicitation to the Federal Business Opportunities site on Wednesday, which is a portal for Federal government procurement requisitions over $25,000. The request gave the potential suppliers only one day to submit their proposals and a 15-day delivery requirement to Alexandria, Virginia.

As the brief explains, “the objective of this effort is to procure riot gear to prepare for the 2012 Democratic and Republican National Conventions, the 2013 Presidential Inauguration and other future similar activities.”

The total amount ordered is about 150 sets of riot helmets, thigh and groin protectors, hard-shell shin guards and other riot gear.

Specifically, DHS is looking to obtain:

- “147 riot helmets” with “adjustable tactical face shield with liquid seal”

- “147 sets of upper body and shoulder protection”

- “152 sets of thigh and groin protection”

- “147 hard-shell shin guards” with “substantial protection from flying debris, non-ballistic weapons, and blows to the leg” and “optimized protective design for severe riot control or tactical situations.”

- “156 forearm protectors”

- “147 pairs of tactical gloves”

The riot gear will be worn by Federal Protective Service agents who are tasked with protecting property, grounds and buildings owned by the federal government.

The urgency of the order can be explained by the fact that there is a growing anticipation that many demonstrators will travel to the Republican National Convention (RNC), scheduled for August 27-30 in Tampa Bay, Florida, and Democratic National Convention (DNC), planned for September 3-6 in Charlotte, North Carolina.

The RNC itself, for example, will have free speech zones, which will serve as containment quarters for the protesters by not allowing them to leave the designated areas and cause trouble.

Another recent DHS move to gear up was back in March of this year, when it gave the defense contractor ATK a deal to provide the DHS with 450 million .40 caliber hollow-point ammunition over a five year period.

On top of that, the DHS has recently purchased a number of bullet-proof checkpoint booths and hired hundreds of new security guards to protect government buildings.

Theatrical props for that police state look. Oilbomber is trying to scare libtards into voting against an imaginary army of "right wing" Romney nazis.

The SWAT vehicles will all have Mitt bumper stickers, and the goons will be wearing Romney 2012 buttons too.

Your spurned homosexual crush on mittens really is pitiful hondope.

Just because the guy is straight and wouldn't have anything to do with you is no reason to go insane.

Have you tried meguro lil' buddy?

I'm just saying ...

I don't swing that way

Then why do you act like a love struck queer who has been REJECTED by the object of your lust, (mittens, whose baby you evidently want to have), you retarded closet rump ranger?

Do you write him long tear stained letters that you never send him?

Do you pine away for his manly form in your diary?

Does his image haunt you all day every day gay blade?

Is his portrait over a nude of him in your place of honor right near your wittle keyboard moron?

You're a pitiful in the closet queer.

See meguro for instructions.

Moron.

LOL!

YOU are the one acting like a REJECTED lover, moron.

I'm secure in MY sexuality moron. IF I was queer, (and I'm NOT), I'd admit it.

Why wouldn't I? LOL!

To "impress" idiot losers such as YOU moron?

Really?

LOL!

Why don't you TRY to act like a man goober?

Instead of pissing your tutu everytime mittens is mentioned.

Four years of mittens as president is going to burn your meager reserve of sanity up loser.

Your break up will at least be entertaining!

btw faggot, there ain't nothing wrong with being QUEER, just ask meguro. See how happy "he" is? You too can be that "happy" if you just had the balls to come out of the closet. Give mittens a wittle kiss on the cheek for us all faggot.

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!
