Not sure if you’ve been watching the protests around the country. In various major cities, people with an agenda are using social media to drum up protests and marches. Most of these people don’t even know the facts of whatever issue they’re protesting. Now I’m all for the right to protest but you might want to know what you’re marching for. In any case, the scariest thing is what to do if you’re caught in one of these demonstrations. Personally here in Denver, I check out what’s going on, especially if I’m headed downtown, before I go. I also avoid the main areas where I think protesters might be just in case somethings going on. I’ve been in large groups of people that can turn on a dime into a dangerous mob and it’s not a good feeling. So be careful out there if you’re Christmas shopping or wherever you might be. Just last night protesters in New York stormed Macy’s Department Store. The night before a car ran over four policeman here in Denver who were handling crowd control. One was hurt seriously and the student protesters chanted “hit him again”. This poor guy was just doing his job and now might not make it. That’s a prime example of mob mentality as most students wouldn’t really want anyone run over in the first place much less run over a second time. But when you get a mob moving, it’s hard for it to stop. Hopefully this will all end soon but the people pushing the buttons behind the scenes across the country will do everything to keep it going as long as possible, so be aware and be safe.
Yesterday was busy as usual with Ty’s basketball game capping the day off. This morning we’re going to get the rest of our Christmas lights up and then head to Cherry Creek to get Jag’s haircut. Ty’s happy going for a buzz cut at the local barber. Maybe we’ll go to lunch too as we have a gift certificate at a great place down there. Ty and I would love to be skiing but we decided to stay home since we have the Bronco game tomorrow. We’ll start Christmas shopping after the 20th when Lori gets paid. It’s going to be a lean year as we’re on a self imposed budget but then again Christmas isn’t about presents anyhow, but don’t worry, I’m sure the boys will be taken care of. Guess I’ll run so we can get started on the lights. Hope everyone is well, take care and God Bless.
