WBC threatening to protest vigil for Yarnell 19

https://twitter.com/WBCSays

I'm too drained to care too much about this. My son just called, his club is sending four riders up to block them. We have plenty of Prescott bikers to join in along with the others that will be there tonite.

I apologize for not answering more of your responses to my other thread. I do want you to know how your support has helped me through the past couple of days. After the release of the names, I found out there are 5 that I know personally. 3 through work, 2 through friends. The boss was relieved to discover the two Hot Shots he bowls with are on another crew.

The Yarnell fire is over 8000 acres, close to 9000 and 0% contained. Reports are sketchy, but say 200 homes out of 650 have been lost along with businesses. It's a tiny town.

Please, no need to rec or kick this thread. If you'd like, there are plenty of charities taking donations. I really can't concentrate enough to post the best, but here is a link to the Granite Mtn Hot Shots FB where they have some posted:

Thank you, again, DU. You have no idea how much you've helped me.
