was just trying to give a heads up.
it's a strange time in the U.S, i dare say even more stressful than the civil rights movement in the 60's or the vietnam protests.
Where you around then? if so thats not something I want to here. yikes.
Im already freaked out enough about seeing a post on another board from someone who lived in china saying everything going on in the US right now reminds them of the Maoist cultural revolution.
Dude stop listening to those people. No, this is not as bad as the 60s. And no, this is nowhere close to as bad as the Chinese revolution.
For one, you have to keep in mind that people in other countries often have a grossly skewed idea of what's going on in America because their media are just as unreliable as ours are. I lived overseas for a while. Their news about America is a joke and gives people a completely unrealistic impression.
Secondly, it's China. Of course they're gonna try to use this for a propaganda victory over us.
Don't be so gullible.

Failed sobriety test, then grabs a cops taser and tries to use it on them? WTF?
You're asking for one between the eyes.
Failed attempt to fleece the hard working, law abiding, tax paying people in a civil dispute? Even for Atlanta this is low.
Stop resisting arrest a$$hole!!!

My friend lives in Minneapolis this all started with me trying to be sure she was safe as it got crazy and constantly communicating with her that has been weeks of nail biting stress things are still nuts out there.
Then seeing richmond riot where I went to college.
Then watching things unfold out in seattle where my brother and his family live hopefully the chaz stuff stays downtown and away from west Seattle.
There is so much going on its insane

This has gotten so tiresome.

"Understand completely I got two daughters one in Washington one in Ohio and yes the Atlanta stuff is close to home. The Wendys is right down from Atlanta Tech and Atlanta Metro Colleges and it's not too far from The Atlanta Unversity complex ie lots of students student population and residences, churches, and businesses in the area. It's about 3-4 miles south of the CNN center and Olympic Park stuff was going on."
I live in a college town in the mountains surrounded by rednecks many who are armed. Its a relative safe area given whats going on everywhere else. I have lived in cities in the past and was thinking about moving back to city life in the future. Well not any more. Im glad im not in a city and I imagine people are trying to get out of cities if and when they can. But watching places go nuts where you know people is tough. I have been spending way to many days all over the internet keeping up on media and checking up on people. I really got to pull myself away and know I should go for a hike unplug but its hard to pull myself away from all the things going on and its hard to stop worrying about what could be next.
