STAY BEHIND THE YELLOW TAPE!

Sometime soon the first wave of Trump's goon-surge will hit the Bay Area, according to some local news reports. Which will overjoy several repulsive Republicans (including two retired police officers) in Marin County. Despicable men. Too long alive. So by this time next month, just in time for turkey day, the fans will have been well and duly spattered, and the locals will be hunting down uniformed Texans and "talking to them". Or something like that.


Imagine several possible conversational scraps:

"Don't go there, son, that's where they gutted and skinned a Fox News reporter two days ago." "Who knew that the Salesforce Tower was so combustible?" "They're combing through the building for surviving feds." "Yeah, okay, their demise was extrajudicial, but it was proven that they were college Republicans, so no biggie."

Myself, I shall stay out of trouble. I fervently hope that the people I know and like will too.
As well as all the medical personell I know, only ONE of whom is Caucasian.


I fully expect San Francisco to be a war-zone within hours of the thugs landing.
Probably most intensely near Salesforce, Fox News, and Sansome Street.
Secondarily places like Union Square and Pacific Heights.
At all times, stay behind the yellow tape.

Remember that tear gas residue stays on surfaces for a very long time, so be careful touching your eyes even after it's all over. Also, Kristi Noem's gestapo is no respecter of rights -- the Immigration Department is chock full of old-fashioned bigots, just ask anyone who has arrived from overseas at our airports in recent years -- and if you're arrested by them you will be treated badly, so be prepared to sue them and be tied up in the courts for years. Furthermore, and this interesting, masks are penetrable, and protective gear may or may not be combustible. Do with that info what seems best for you at that moment. California's law against facial coverings to prevent recognition by police and Federal Christian Nationalist bullies does NOT go into effect until January, and they will disregard it anyway. Same with the requirement (same law) that they identify themselves by name and badge number. Assume that those people are actually inbred syphilitics from a red state.
Possibly swamp creatures. Do NOT get their fluids on you. Unclean.


And again, stay behind the yellow tape.


As a man with peaceful inclinations, not at all likely to get involved in shenanigans or law-breaking, honest, the worst that I expect to happen personally is that drifts of teargas and smoke might interfere with my quiet pacifist enjoyment of a pipe after eating in Chinatown. Smoking a pipe is good for the digestion. Teargas isn't.
Reagan taught us that.
