We received a warning from work that tomorrow (9/17) is supposed to be a "Day of Rage." A day propagated by social networking where anarchist groups are supposed to cause mayhem, violence, and shut down Facebook (how are they going to post updates of the their actions?) Actually, I am ok with the Facebook thing. LOL
However, on a more serious note I live in the Seattle Metro area and for some reason Seattle likes to riot. Remember the WTO? Any excuse for civil disorder. I don't know that anything will happen tomorrow however my coworker just 5 days ago awoke to see 3 cars in his neighborhood in Seattle (Beacon Hill - a nice area) on fire!
In this KOMO News clip you can actually see his car!! There is only one car in between his and the charred remains of another.
The reason for this fire attack? UNKNOWN. That's right - sadly, random violence. And what about tomorrow? I told him that he should think about parking elsewhere tonight.
As we prepare for a "Day of Rage" where self-proclaimed anarchist groups threaten violence and in a City known for it, who knows what will happen. But, I am proud to live in a country which has a Constitution - a 2nd Amendment - and the right and means to protect my family.
We have seen much violence in other countries recently and they are not so lucky.
