Sounds like the purge is coming.

I may pull another shotgun out of the safe for Election night.

I hope you haven't been skipping arm day.

I stay out of big cities like that.

That's just under a third of my entire 711 square mile county. I'll never understand how people can stand to live all piled on top of each other like that.

Kinda wonder what the political leanings and voting records of the anxious white people in those buildings are.

Heh...

My county is approximately 391 square miles of land (15 square miles of water)...

Population?

Almost 1.5 MILLION.

It's turtles all the way down.

Election night violence?

Is it kind sad that I am taking this as a good sign?

Nope, not a good sign. They don't care who wins, they are just using the election for an excuse to burn. It's not going to stop until we take the kid gloves off.

I predict it will largely be in the same places it has already been.

Action News has learned that police recovered propane tanks, torches and possible dynamite sticks from the van.

Sounds like they don't know for sure what that stuff is.

My county is 18,199 square miles with a population of 46.5k, of which 35k or so are in the staunchly pro-Trump town I live in. I am expecting another boring night in town and I don't really see anyone from the big city (Las Vegas) making the trek up here to do anything when there are plenty of "peaceful protesting" areas to keep them occupied down there.

I'd might in a smaller town, but my wife works and refuses to commute very far. I'm surprised she hasn't requested that we move to the neighboring town (Clear Lake, IA-7 miles away) since she works now.

I do like having all the convenience of the stores by living in a regional town. I remember living in a town of 3000 in western Iowa 20 years ago and every Saturday morning was a 30 mile one way trip to for the Walmart/grocery store run, same if I wanted to see a movie.

I've actually gotten used to that (as BobR said I would have to, living in the intermountain West). Thirty miles is nothing anymore. It helps that (outside of the Boise metro area) the roads are relatively empty, so I don't get worked up over traffic like I always did in CA.

As for unrest, my area just isn't worth their time. Not a big enough audience.

Jim147 · « **Reply #21 on:** October 29, 2020, 04:59:48 PM »

A couple miles from a huge town of 300. Not to worried about problems here. I got used to the 30 minutes to a store years ago.

K Frame · « **Reply #22 on:** October 29, 2020, 05:12:27 PM »

I think the farthest I have ever lived from a grocery store is maybe 2.5 miles... and that's when I was in college.

When I was a kit we had a grocery store on the other end of town, about 1.5 miles away, and a LOT of stores within a 15 mile trip.

My first job, I was in between a couple of groceries, the closest one being maybe 1.5-2 miles, if that.

When I moved to DC the closest grocery was literally across the street.

And now, where I am, I have 3 Giant foods (including the new one about a half mile away), 3 Safeways, a Whole Foods, an Aldis, a Lidl, 2 Super H Marts, Target, and Walmart within 5 miles.

Town I live in is under 1K, local Quick Mart is about a mile away, and I have 2 towns 30-50K population about 12-15 miles in either direction. New job is about 16 miles in a town of 3K.

They can't cancel that. I forecast more than a few cases of blue flu.

Right? I mean, it's not like this liberal pipe dream can be implemented immediately or anything. Especially given that in the first two months of all this riot stupidity PPB spent over 7.5 MILLION dollars on overtime and related costs.
