My opinion is that this is a very bad idea.  Wherever that convention goes, there will be massive civil unrest and probably riots.  The supposed "$100 million" shot in the arm for the local economy will be completely offset by the disruption, the trash, the destruction, cost of security, and numerous other problems and costs it would bring to the city.

Freaking Gov. Cooper is a pansy. He's going to keep us social distanced for as long as possible. We're currently in phase 2 of getting back to "normal" and what was only supposed to be two weeks turned into five when he announced the phase 2 parameters. Nail and hair salons could open but not the gyms. [BLEEP].
