This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Protesters are supposed to hit the Costco, Target, Walmart by ProV1x

super stores and other shopping centers or malls out in the area where I live according to "warnings" from authorities. Kroger's just down the road already was vandalized and closed this afternoon. Not much protesting, just the usual damage according to what I've heard and seen on videos. We're in far eastern part of the county 25 miles from downtown in a peaceful area near Valhalla GC.

This is a new event in my long lifetime as I've been fortunate not to experience any major protests or violence wherever my family and I've lived. I pray both the protesters/vandals play it cool but someone will probably do something stupid to start it up and people will get hurt or worse. They'll do what they want to do I suppose. I don't think any other NDN people live around here but I know of several Domers who do.
