Almost every city in the country is having mass protests.

9. I live in a small rural town, and the cops have been called up to guard some of the businesses.

Talked to one, he said carloads of "protesters" are going from town to town, busting into stores, and looting them.

I thought this sounded phony, til I got home and put on a nearby News show, and they were running videos of a couple of towns just north of us where people had shown up, busted out store windows and were running out with the goods.

According to the news, this wasn't part of a protest that got out of hand. This is simply groups of people looting.

I can't believe this is happening in these sleepy little farm towns. I'm 180 miles south of Chicago.
