    Protest here today

    Looks like we are going to have a protest in town today. Supposed to be a bunch bused into town also. Old school bus and bunch of white vans in WM parking lot is kind of unusual, so I wonder if thats the bused in bunch

    Supposed to stay on sidewalks and stay out of the street. Go from our Safeway to the courthouse (wonder--old one or new one?)

    Guess we will see what happens.

    After about 10,000 arrests around the country, it looks like the craziness is settling down.

    Protest here today

    We have one today in Saginaw Michigan too. Talked to police cause March goes right past several businesses I work with. They have figured out what the rabble rousers are doing to seed issues and they are pretty good at getting ahead of it now. We’ve already had 3 protests go off with no issue.

    We’ve had around 20 little ones locally. Only had one that I’m aware of that went off the rails and only small scale. The police are escorting all announced ones here.
    Good luck with yours!

    I had one yesterday hear me. It was peaceful except for the fact they shutdown one of the main tunnels leaving the city at 4 pm. I'm sure the diverted drivers trying to get home from work on a Friday afternoon didn't feel to peaceful sitting in traffic jams.

    My son is on Facebook and he claims the BLM protestor have made it clear that they will not tolerate the antifa types interfering with their protests. Let's hope we see the violence dwindling

    There was supposed to be one in the town I live in today. I guess it did happen because I went to drive to the Borough compost pile and they had the streets blocked off, had to turn around and went back home. Haven’t heard any shots or seen any smoke so I guess it’s over.

    Same around here.
    Maybe we're not racist enough to get a demonstration.

    Really? Because this is how things are around here. Some boarded up before the looting. Some afterwards.

    It always stArts as a protest. Then it becomes just short of a riot. Every night for the last 9 days.

    Groups of 200 or so break off and head out to the suburbs breaking into jewelry stores and gun stores.

    The National guard barricades off most shopping establishments after 1700.

    They even did a good job of cleaning up the mess from those 7 people getting shot.
    How long do ya think the city will look like that if they emptied the previous 'protesters' out of the jail?

    Iron369:

    Does the National Guard there have magazines for it's rifles? Apparently the NG in DC has been sent in without magazines. Actually, it looks like they may not have rifles either, which would be kinda redundant without magazines anyway.

    I don't know what they're told to do if someone shoots at them......probably bend a knee.......might be time for Esper to hit the road.

    They shot and killed a guy last week. Actually, they don’t know if it was a police officer or the guardsman that fired the fatal shot since both shot at the guy. I don’t know about rifles since it appeared both the guard and police used handguns.

    If this is true, these people knew how to handle antifa.
