Grand Rapids MI is on fire

Literally. All the windows have been smashed. Tear gas is being fired but it's just moving rioters to a different area. I'm watching live reporting via facebook

OK it escalated while was typing, so I paused. Finally seems to have calmed down. maybe

Bad things have happened before.

And we'll get through this, too.

God Bless America. And please hurry.

They're not making new TV shows because of the COVID-19 thing and Americans need something to watch while they're stuck at home.

There'll be more jobs for people now to clean up after the riots.

I think there would be less participants in this stupid shit if everyone wasn't wearing masks.

I know you already thought of that. Don't know if anyone has mentioned it here. Seems a likely correlation.

I like this chapter of the story a lot better.

It's a fucking shame that to get to this good chapter, chapter one had to be about murder.
