Police: Suspicious items found on rooftop prior to RNC

Posted: Aug 21, 2012 12:03 PM CDT Updated: Aug 21, 2012 1:03 PM CDT  

Chief Castor takes questions about Friday's find. TAMPA (FOX 13) - Tampa police say they've confiscated suspicious items from a rooftop in Tampa in the buildup to the Republican National Convention.

The items included bricks and pipes, which were found along with anarchist-style graffiti Friday evening atop a business at 1000 North Florida Ave., which is at the corner of Florida Avenue and Tyler Street.

"We are appreciative that the business owner called us," TPD Chief Jane Castor said this afternoon. 

"Finding those items for us was not a surprise," she added.  "We are just pleased to see the communications process worked the way it did."

Well, I don't like wishing bad weather on anybody, 'cept maybe the rioters; but it looks like (currently) TS Isaac is planning on possible arrival in Tampa area in time for Convention Day 1.

That may help to dampen the OWS/Code Pinko/Anarchist/RCP/WCW/other lefty nutcases' riot plans.

The latest deficit figure coming out of the well run City of Tampa: $30,000,000.

Typical Democrats, spend more than you take in.

But they "rilly, rilly" need those bicycle lanes and a new park for the Exploding Chicken sculpture. They figure the conservatives' great-grandkids can pay it back with inflated dollars.

I have always put signs in yard but probably will not this year. Not with Holder’s people threatening everyone. It is not worth it but NOTHING will keep me from the polls in nov.....NOTHING!!


Before placing sign in yard, find a source of poison ivey. Wearing gloves, crush several leaves between your palms. Smear the liquid all around the outer edges of the sign. (about a 4 inch border).

They’ll still get your sign. But you get the last laugh.

Don’t put ir on a painted surface (for long, anyway).. it will scratch the paint, especially if there is any dust :p

I put it on the painted part of my car—with all dust removed first.

I also have magnetic signs on the front doors.

Never had a problem. Just remove all dirt, dust, and grime first.

The OWS pukes coming into our state to cause harm to anyone will suddenly become aware of our CCW laws in a close up and personal way.

You wouldn’t believe the security here. Behavior analysis software within 2 miles etc. Closing of ports and roads. Boarding up windows on city windows. Crazy stuff here..

There are a lot of demonic liberals out there. You never know how far the posessed leftists will go to get their free Oboma money.
Fine, upright American citizens could get seriously hurt if this level of security wasn't installed.

Wasn’t there an article on Drudge earlier that said that Biden was visiting Tampa?

In a related note, there is a real and serious threat of a hurricane hitting Florida DURING THE CONVENTION.

This storm is favored to strengthen, likely to hurricane strength and currently looks to hit Florida. I really hope this will not harm the convention’s success.

Hopefully all will go ok and it will be just some wind and rain. Like someone else said, it might put a damper on the OWS rioters plans.
