Anyone expect violence in DC tonight?

I know there was talk of Sunday actions, and Wednesday. But it is the weekend right now. Ooops, Ari on the topic now.

1. I'm more worried about the state capitols right now. Nt

[Sneederbunk]

10. Only blue state capitols.

[stillcool]

12. blue states?

Maybe in the mid-west. Where do you live?

[dem4decades]

2. I've been waiting till 6 for Ari.

[malaise]

4. Been on since 5.00pm n/t

[dem4decades]

9. Thanks, turned him on.

[Wednesdays]

3. More worried about "soft targets"

Shopping malls, busy intersections, and so on.

Remember, Timothy McVeigh killed 168 people in an ordinary federal building.

5. Me too.

I think they will reassess the situation, adapt to the circumstances, and then strike the lower-risk targets available to them.

[bluestarone]

6. Soft targets is what i'm thinking. BUT

Maybe soft capital buildings. (even RETHUGLICON states) just to cause FEAR!

8. I keep thinking of that Vegas shooter. He shot around 600 people in 8 minutes.

These people have nearly unlimited access to powerful weapons and all the ammo they can afford.

It doesn't take any particular skills to do mass casualty attacks these days.

Any lunatic can strike at any time, and this is a week filled with opportunities to "make their voice heard".

7. The Oklahoma Governor has activated some National Guard

members for the Capitol Complex. Our agency is one of the buildings designated to have more State Troopers and some National Guard. We are being discouraged from going into our office building unless it is absolutely necessary.

11. Will be raining in DC tonight, FWIW

[lindysalsagal]

14. Looked like it was snowing in Michigan, too.

Might make the fur wrappings really heavy....

[Mike 03]

13. Just now on CNN: up to 25,000 National Guard troops in D.C.

coming from every state.

It makes me nervous how much they are talking about this. Is it such a good idea to send so many NG to one place, and announce it over and over again, when the militia and hate group cells are all over the country? Won't they adjust their plans?

15. I'm not worried in the least

I’m in Arlington and the helicopters flying up and down the river are very frequent.

Feels as though they’re on top of whatever might be planned.

And I imagine some of these weekend warriors are either already have been contacted by the fbi, or having serious second thoughts based on everyone else getting in trouble.

Hoping for the best anyway.
