I accidently walked thru a protest last year.

A bloke near me yelled out "Kill Them". And I believe he meant it. I was chilled and got out of there as fast as I could.

I’m glad I don’t work near protest sites. Most of them seem unruly and even worse if two opposing sides clash.

I can really see that happening tomorrow when the pro gun people turn up.

Yep. Fully understand. I did protest publicly during the Franklin campaign way back when, but some of what I saw then chilled me too. And I'm fairly OK with my own personal triggers - I know when I have to back off and keep my cool. I fear those people who get whipped up into a frenzy and lose what little brains they once possessed. Because then there are NO limits to what they will do.
