Crystal Ball

The word from on high is that we should be careful this weekend thanks to armed protests downtown. Governors all over the place are reported to be putting things on alert thanks to armed protests. I gather there are more National Guard in DC than we have soldiers in Afghanistan.

I predict that, so far as those Trump supporters go, the weekend will be peaceful: With or without National Guard.

I think you will prove correct. DC was a one-off, and the more responsible protestors will shut down the others themselves.

Yes. I know some BLM protesters, and the more responsible of them are trying hard to keep demonstrations non-violent--and in our county, they have been for several months--or at least nothing's been reported or rumored. And the Trump supporters have been an order of magnitude more peaceful than they.
