Pittsburgh Violent Protests [View all]

I haven’t seen anything on the news, but my son called from U of Pitt to say there are violent protesters, mostly white supremacists, swarming the city and the campus, blocking traffic and campus walking paths. The REALLY bad guys aren’t there yet and many students are rallying to protect anyone that is in the crosshairs (LBGTQ+) but also anyone of color, but they expect the violence to ramp up. I’m absolutely terrified. They had a 5 pm curfew tonight, even for teachers, but I wish they’d go into lock down.
I’m over the edge! Anyone have any real thoughts that can pull me back, I’m all ears. Every time I hear of a school shooting, my heart freezes. And now they are right there-attacking the campus where my brilliant, amazing, miracle child lives.
