Yea having National Guard doesn’t mean shit if they’re not authorized to actually DO anything. In nearby Louisville KY we had National Guard presence and a “curfew” for a whole flippin WEEK. Didn’t accomplish a damn thing as the curfew apparently didn’t apply to the protesters plus there was a shootout between a group of ppl at a West End (read: ghetto) business and the Guard, black business owner died in the crossfire so it just spun up the protesters all that much more. Rumors are flying that there is to be a massive protest all over Louisville today (Tues the 25th) but according to our idiot Dem city mayor, ‘These protesters are largely peaceful, but if anything happens, we’ll be ready’ and ‘Public safety is our #1 priority’
Just amazing all of the protesters could get the day off from work at once.
