I have a sick filling in my stomach that all hell is

Going to erupt in Ferguson tonight with the National Guard this might end up like Kent State I hope I'm wrong.

1. Maybe you meant Kent State

[agbdf]

2. Kent State? I hope you are wrong.

3. Do you mean Kent State?

Penn State had the asst. coach who sexually assaulted young boys, etc. while Kent State had National Guardsmen shoot four kids in cold blood.
But you may be right. I hope not though.

4. supposedly the NG will only be protecting the police command post...

and the curfew has been revoked. If that is all true, it may not be so bad. If the NG is deployed into the streets, I fear you may be correct.

5. I hope you're wrong too

I know what you mean about having a sick feeling like a premonition. not saying I believe in that stuff but it feels like it sometimes.

6. Outoftowners from Oakland causing the trouble? I had Not seen this posted

7. A MO state rep said she's heard "anarchists" have come to Ferguson to cause trouble.

Who they are and where they're from who knows, but she's concerned about it.

12. VanGoghRocks says he's heard that 'fascist police thugs' have come to Ferguson

from out of town to cause trouble.

Who they are and where they're from who knows (they cover up their badges, after all, so they can't be ID'd), but VGF is concerned about it.

the citizens. i.e. Watts.

9. I'm getting more creeped out with every day, too

People need to protest, but it seems to me, with what the police have done already, it could get much worse.

10. I hope you are wrong

11. Well, there is some reason to hope...

...that it not only does not stop but spreads. Not really, but...

The people in power, who run this country for their own personal benefit, will not stop doing so until they are afraid of what will happen to them if they continue. They are not afraid of us right now. There is only one thing they respect: power. We need to make them afraid of us, and peaceful protest will not do that.

14. They are moving the reporters and arresting ones that are caught outside their "area"

The National Guard is in place. They have a plan to end this, and it's not "arrest the cop and investigate the whole town" which seems to be setup as a financial prison of sorts...

I just hope they don't cut the internet access to the town. If that happens start seriously worrying.
