The state is placing armed guards at its 36 unemployment offices around Indiana. The "Fort Wayne Journal Gazette" quotes Indiana Department of Workforce Development spokesman Marc Lotter as saying there were no specific incidents prompting the action.

Did not see this posted, but am surprised it was not picked up by Fox.

There must be more than is in the story.

If house goes republican, then the admin will take it out on the unemployed, ending their benefits in the old 26 weeks. Riot time

People on welfare might riot.

Honest working people who cannot find a job, will not likely riot.

That is along the lines of what I am thinking.

The only thing worse (and more dangerous) than tens of millions collecting unemployment is tens of millions who’s benefits run out. As Gerald Celente says, “When people lose everything, and have nothing to lose, they lose it.”

They got the wrong address. They thought they were protecting the polling places from the TEA Party.

There are four business with “help wanted” signs in their windows in our small town....Can make more money taking unemployment.

"...there were no specific incidents prompting the action."

Then it's a make work project for off-duty cops, e.e. how cops make $150K+ a year.

I've been a supervisor and veteran's career counselor at workforce centers in two states. Many times we had armed and unarmed guards. Mostly for spouses, ex-spouses and ex-boyfriends & girlfriends assaulting our customers as well as thieves.

“If house goes republican, then the admin will take it out on the unemployed, ending their benefits in the old 26 weeks. Riot time”

...this sounds like the dem plan from the beginning. Obama has already layed the groundwork by telling people to “get in their faces” and other battle cries.

I think this is how the SS got started in the 1930s.

"I think this is how the SS got started in the 1930s. "

I believe you are right. This time, however, the outcome is going to be different.

NEVER AGAIN

Did this really need to be excerpted?

Lotter said, quote, “given the upcoming expiration of the federal extensions and the increased stress on some of the unemployed, we thought added security would provide an extra level of protection for our employees and clients.” The federal jobless benefit extension will start expiring in early December unless Congress acts.

There is nothing new here. Guards have been used at welfare type operations at all levels. You even have them replacing LPNs watching the 51-50’s. The little people need to be under control when prostrating themselves before their union masters.
