My actual Town (Jeffersonville, IN) had a protest just now. Completely peaceful cops and protesters chatting, etc. They blocked traffic for a while and then moved when police asked them too.
Maine had a couple of protests so far, but they were peaceful.
I mentioned it in another thread but last night I slept with the windows open so I could listen to the whip-poor-wills, crickets and frogs croaking down by the creek. I did run into town today and it looked like a regular busy Saturday, though no sign of protesters.
I always want them to get people the hell out of the roads; authorize teargas and such. I got caught up in one in NYC a few years back, in a buddy's car and hundreds of derelicts converged on the area; walking on top of cars and such. Was very glad I didn't have loved ones with me as you can only carry so many rounds...Pretty crappy situation.
In Seattle, 2 cop cars set on fire. National Guard activated (no firearms) and a 5pm curfew. Looks like it got spicy for everyone involved with a few ways out of the city shutdown between protesters blocking the highway and public transport centers not offering service.
All quiet on the (South) Western (Montana) front.
