The fire continued throughout the country last night and into today. The peaceful protests start out that way, and then the cops show up, in full military gear, looking for a fight. There were more shots of cops beating people, yanking people out of cars, and destroying supplies. And they start it. Today, one protest went down another street to avoid the police.
In many cities, the police are shooting at the crowd, and particularly at people in the press. People are getting hurt. There are a lot of white faces in the crowd, some being allies, and some being rabble rousers.
Fires are burning, at least they were last night. The National Guard is out in many cities to enforce curfews and keep the protesters in line. Trump is going to use all this chaos as a way to establish martial law.
The pandemic is so last week. No one is talking about that, now that we have riots to worry about. It makes me crazy that journalists can’t stay with both. I can’t even tell you the number of people who have died, but it’s over 100,000. In three months. Cancer and Heart disease take more people in the same amount of time. But neither is contagious.
I am doing my best to stay off of twitter, but it is very difficult. I need to witness what is going on in our country. We’re crashing and we can’t stop.
Tonight is Downton Abbey night. We are at the beginning of season 5. It’s a glorious 2-3 hours of escape from this frightening world.
