I forgot to mention fv noted that it looked like there was a police sniper at a neighboring building... as well as police cars parked all around the building, a police RV / response unit, dogs, I'm SURE undercover people in the crowd ... just to let you know that there is more to this situation than first meets the eye. ADD TO THAT: Bob Schindler is concerned that people there remain orderly ... Bobby came out at one point yesterday, I saw, and asked the people there not to taunt the police.

this is all a "fwiw" comment, I know our hearts are breaking and our minds are wondering what more we can do, shoulda or coulda done. ...

Re the sniper, I had heard that from someone also, but had not seen it...and I looked intently for him.

Re the traffic, we took 95 from Broward to highway 60 across the state. I prefer that route as it rolls through the orange groves and is less hectic. Funny you mention the flat tire, which I'm sorry to hear about. Better to hear that you're safe though. I forgot to mention that we stopped to help a young woman on the way there Thursday night and an elderly man on the way back yesterday evening. Each of them had flat tires. Hmm...someone must have lost a box of roofing nails from the back of their truck!

Also, I'm glad you mentioned the undercover comment. Each day there were two men who associated with nobody, but tried to blend in. They were constantly making one minute phone calls in a low voice away form anyone's earshot. Other participants had mentioned the UC cops, as the site was shut down numerous times due to threats made to "storm the building". It was believed that the intel was gleaned from plainclothes cops.
