"Day of Rage" events...

I shamelessly clipped this from both Wirecutter and Irish.  The capital of my state has seen quite a lot of protest the past few days....It helps to have a bunch of colleges and universities in the city area I suppose.  And the capital of my state is on this list.  Just a heads up to my couple of readers to not be there or in the area and to lay in provisions.   I will touch on this stuff later....when I don't have to go to work...you know the thing those activist have no clue what that is....

The hacktivist group Anonymous is now calling for nationwide Day of Rage protests on Friday, July 15th. The video below promotes the protests.(WARNING: There is some disturbing and graphic violence in this video):

Use this as a list of places NOT to be on Friday the 15th. While the video by Anonymous does specify non-violence and denounces the actions taken against police officers that were not involved in these deaths, with the tagline “Day of Rage” I think it’s safe to expect emotions to be running very high on both sides of the line. No matter how great your empathy might be for those who have unjustly lost their lives, these protests are not safe places to be.
