CLEVELAND — The Republican National Convention in Cleveland was off to a rowdy start Monday.
What started as a simple vote on rules for the event erupted into a shouting match and the convention chair getting booed by some delegates.
Channel 9’s Greg Warmoth is at the convention and noticed the lengths being taken to keep everyone safe.
While it’s still early in the convention and several more protests are planned, there have been no security concerns so far.
Warmoth said Monday’s protests were spirited, but peaceful. The three-hour anti-Trump march was the biggest rally so far.
“For the most part, it seemed peaceful,” said Mike Shane from Detroit.
Ohio is an open-carry state, and while no firearms are allowed inside the convention, they are allowed outside.
But at the anti-Trump march, the only weapons visible were those belonging to law enforcement, which had a major presence around the building.
Bryce Brimhall of Orlando, went to the convention on Monday and said the large amount of security made him feel safe.
“The police presence is the thing I’ve noticed the most. With all the protests, it’s comforting to see something like that,” he said.
Along with the police, there were people at the march devoted to keeping the peace.
"We didn't have any incidents, for this parade that went on for three hours," said Pastor Thomas Zerapa.
