In reply to the discussion: Going to a protest today...sound off here [View all]Marthe48
(22,628 posts)31. I'm going to a local protest
Temps will be okay. It might be rainy. Our meeting place is by one of the rivers, and because of the rain the last several days, we might have to meet elsewhere, if the river is flooding.
My daughter suggested I try to find a spot away from the street, in case some madman drives into the people protesting.
I went to a protest supporting fired government workers and police protection was scanty. I saw a cop parked in a car parked a block from the protesters and asked him why the protesters didn't have protection nearer to them. He had no answer.
I never went to protests until the felon and miller locked kids in cages. Today will be my 4th. I never dreamed my retirement years would be like this.

I can't physically stand or walk for any length of time, so I'm attending a virtual event.

Would love to go but these are too far from Aix, where I am, and unfortunately nothing in Marseille.
