this national guard situation is going to turn this into a horrific tragedy.
I really didn't want to live through this.
I'm totally freaking out. If I was in the states, I'd be a basketcase.

This is a thread specific to the events of today. It could happen anywhere, but it isn’t right now.

Honest question:

Why are you freaking out?

No no, he's loving this. He wanted this, asked for it, encouraged it this morning and is now watching some white terrorists waving flags with his name on it trying to burn it all down to the ground, all for him.

He's loving every minute of it.

CSpans coverage makes this look pretty noneventful. If it weren’t for this thread I’d have no idea

partly by what's unfolding in front of us right this minute and partly by what it could lead to.
especially that the trump government is just allowing this to happen.
they wanted this to happen.

The Al-Jazeera coverage seems more thorough. I've got both streams running side-by-side.

Understandable. I guess my advice to you is to not freak out about it. It has little to no impact to your physical health, and it will only affect your mental health if you allow it.

What is happening today is wild for sure, but try to not let it freak you out. Because it can't hurt you. And it will probably barely affect your life as you know it.

I am not saying this to be insulting or demeaning. Just to be supportive.
