Safety or security from street violence..

Just thinking ahead to 11/3/2020.

I am not certain that the protests that night will not eclipse all that have occurred this year to date no matter the outcome..

Outcome 1 and celebrations of the groups who fomented violence this year will turn to worse violence out of a sense of entitlement. Think about folks that are yelling for whitefolks to give them their homes and money. They will feel like they got approval and feel even more emboldened.

Outcome 2 and you are dealing with people with an infantile mindset who would rather kill others and burn their property rather than accept the result.

As a bit of paranoia is at least a smallfactor in a longer life, I already made plans for my college age kids to be in the right place on election day. One goes to school next to Downtown LA. He and a few friends now have a place in a less dangerous area if it looks as if it needed.

I am not certain how bad New Orleans could get as we tend to have very lazy citizens. Look at the comparedly minor protests here this year. Nevertheless, my Uncle north of the lake who has a walk-in gun vault may see my face that night if it looks bad.

I look forward to the downvotes of those that think 11/3 will be uneventful. I hope you are right and I deserve them. I do fear that ir might be like the folks that said Katrina would miss New Orleans.
