I have a bad feeling about the protest Saturday in Silverlake
The yes on 8 idiots have had time to mobilize their minions for this one and I fear that this will be the one that gets really ugly.

I will still be there with my video camera running, but I think this is going to be the one where things turn violent.

1. What happens, happens.
This is war.

7. Because I don't know you, I don't know if you're trying to be
sarcastic.

However, it prefer not to quote John McCain about anything .. let alone a rally cry to fight for gay civil/human rights.

10. Can you write a complete sentence instread of a fragment?
Without knowing you, and seeing your facial expression(s), I'm not positively clear about what you're trying to say.

Thanks.

2. You need to get some of your friends to film it. You need eyes on the ground to document it all.
If something bad happens, the camera's lens will serve as an impartial witness to all.

5. No it won't be
Edited on Sat Nov-08-08 05:50 AM by SoCalNative
I'm perfectly willing to take one for the team..and I'm not even on the team. I guess I just want people to be prepared..because I just have a feeling in my gut that this will be the start of things getting ugly.

6. If I had the means of transport, I'd be there
I don't think I could take a bus between three states and seventeen counties in less than fourteen hours.

In the meantime... I'll try to remain optimistic that you'll be wrong on this.

8. I Certainly Hope Not....
but if the 'wingers precipitate the violence, maybe that will expose them for what they are to America and the rest of the world.

I agree that this is war indeed. I wish I was younger and living in California. Unfortunately neither is true but I will send positive energy to all supporters of our community that go there.

12. Good luck to all.
I wish I could be there with you to stand together with you. I have my own personal mess here right now but when/if that ever gets past the point of keeping me in place I will be there. I have never in my life been so upset or angry about anything. I am ready to do whatever needs to be done because all the work I have done is not proving enough. It is time and it will take a lot of us from all different walks of life to make this one move where it should. We must be loud and we must insist and never stop for one moment to give them breath.

Be safe, get it all on video. Take care.

13. I'll take my video cam too.
I know that the police will be on tactical alert for this one.

Do we know where we will be marching to?
