The use of city of Jacksonville for the Republican National Convention must be prevented. The damages incurred will take years to recover from. It would out weigh any financial benefits that the city could hope for. It is a fact this convention will bring with it the largest protests in the history of our country. During the recent protests in Jacksonville  there were small riots, violence and destruction of property that occurred. This was a small protest with one view. A convention would attract protesters peaceful and violent from around the world with two opposite intense poltical views. It is a perfect storm for violence and destruction that has no benefit for the residents of Jacksonville.
