This is stupid. This isn't a Rally, this is a protest, an event for gun nuts to get together and play Soldier. They were supposed to have speakers at 11. Its 11:30 and they have small speakers and bull horns around the crowd spouting nonsense. There is no main stage or main talker. This is just bullshit. I am only hoping at noon when they have to vacate they don't all fire into the air.

NBC reporting people saying "We will not comply" when people are saying the pledge of allegiance. Way to go MSNBC. :facepalm:

Counter protesters are walking through the crowd calling out the gun rally as fake and calling for revolution against the capitalist system.

Police have dispersed the crowds because the rally time is over.
Also I hate people. (I love you guys, I strongly dislike the general population)

Alex Jones is Sandy Hook/conspiracy guy, right? DH was listening to his Joe Rogan podcast and saying he got a bad rap from that, amongst other things. I was very Sure, Jan. Long wow I know. I didn't have the ammo to counter, and now I don't have the brain space. I'll table this for a while.

Sorry to live blog that thing but I was at my desk and I was worried about something going wrong. Plus I had a strange dream list night I was driving home and terrorists and gun nuts were patrolling the streets looking for me for something I said online. I am a little on edge today.

I'm sorry about that dream. That would rattle anyone.

I know. I didn't have the ammo to counter, and now I don't have the brain space. I'll table this for a while. this is why i don’t listen to Joe Rogan anymore. He had him on once to spew his bullshit, then had him on again to “clear things up.” I will not support someone who gives a platform to an individual that has ruined so many lives.

But that doesn't make all his guests fail-proof, so that's what I need to express in some way.

In non-news news, I saw my eye doc yesterday and my cataract is stable (which was not the anticipated case) so I don't have to have surgery right away. I go back in six months, which at that point we may have to talk surgery, but at least I get a breather for a while. Phew!

Pod Save The People went off on the people who called for the rally for guns in Virginia and attributing guns to White supremacy. That is the point I was trying to make yesterday. I am glad someone said it.

Also, can you imagine if those protestors were black? Can you even imagine. Thinking about how differently it would have been handled makes me downright furious.

Anyone who lives in VA and supports the universal background checks bill and/or the one-gun-a-month bill, please please please call and write your Delegate and state Senator. I can help you find info as needed.
