    I don’t generally protest, but this seems like one of the better ones we’ve had here recently.

    I probably won’t join, but I probably will go and laugh about how 2000 cops armed head to toe in riot gear get scared and try to kill people. I’m calling it now. Somebody’s gonna die or get seriously injured

      sounds like they are worried about suicide bombers

      do you remember a short while ago gov made an announcement about having credible tips about a terrorist attack in the near future?

      Sounds like something out of a futuristic dystopian movie.

      spoiler

      I haven’t seen a terrorism act invoked in my state but police have called a few designated areas this year and they bring the cavalry mounted troops to most protests.

      I’m calling it now. Somebody’s gonna die or get seriously injured

      Big ten-thousands protests generally try to be more big-tent than radical, so as eager as police are to make a show of force against anti-military protesters, my bet is that it will be limited to shoving. But honestly, I won’t be shocked if your call turns out right.

      Jesus. I hope all the fuckery is done by the 16th. MCEC is the only place I can park when I have to go into our city office.

        Parking at your local train station, tram stop, bus stop, or park and ride isn’t an option? Not even driving to one nearby with better service?
