    If there ever was a reason to self quarantine, this is it.

    Just saw videos of people breaking car windows while the cars are stopped on the fwy in San Jose.

    not sure what the law is if you shoot someone breaking your windows.

    I saw a video out of Austin, Tx of protesters on I-35 traffic stopped and jumping on vehicles and I hear Chicago is getting bad now with people protesting and beating and throwing stuff at cops.

    For this anyone traveling on I-80/94 in Indiana or coming from Illinois. A friend of mine just sent me a link about the protests in Hammond the protesters are threatening to go on I-80/94 to block traffic. But the police, sheriffs and state police have formed a blockade to try to prevent that from happening. So get out of dodge while you can. It looks like it’s going to get ugly tonight.
     
    bzinger, D.Tibbitt and Midwest Trucker Thank this.

    You can add Charlotte an Greensboro, NC to the list.

    City of Charlotte under State of Emergency after 'civil unrest'

    For me it's simple....bust my windows you win the pony an get the prize. That would fall under self defense for me. I wouldn't want to find out, but if I'm forced to, that will be my reaction. Cops are busy doing other stuff...I can handle protecting me an mine if I have to. I would just prefer not to have to. ;)

    Anyhow...be safe folks. Full moon for the rest of 2020.

    I'm so glad I got out of that cluster#### of a town. Should have done it a long time ago. Nice and quiet here in my one horse town -

    First the virus panic, and now a riot panic.


    What was the old saying/curse?
    ...
    "May you live in interesting times."
    And this year has been very interesting so far.


    And let's keep that fear factor alive and well.
    I'm sure it plays well into someones hand.
