Just got an email from our HR director at the headquarters in Jeff City.  He said they were notified by someone in the state .gov that protesters are going to attempt to shut down the Missouri River Bridge and/or other major thoroughfares in Jeff City today at 3 pm.  

He said EVERYONE still working in the office is to leave the office immediately and work from home today.

Just an fyi-could be a bunch of smoke or it could happen.

Keep your heads on a swivel.

I have a friend who works in a state building in Jeff City, and he said they were putting up barriers near his building earlier today, and a few Nation Guard were in their lobby. They're definitely expecting something to happen.

Sweeeeeeet!   They'd have to run an asphalt crew behind it here in the States though...and it would be fun to see the rats run when that machine comes to town!

There's an easier way, with existing equipment.

I just drove across the bridge and it was completely empty.

We drove through Jeff City from Columbia around 1600 or so. No issues and didn't see anyone doing anything stupid.

Still calm around 6:30.

Will West is barricaded up like the walking dead are coming.

Reading through the KRCG article, that I'm fairly certain was written by a 5th grader, sounded like they were planning a robbery. Wouldn't be surprised to hear it was a ND since the shooter turned himself in.

Punks being punks.

Little $40 weed deal turned into robbery.  The buyer decided to steal the weed so the seller shot 5 times, striking him twice in the neck.

The "victim" died today.

Grain of salt and all.
Was informed there are supposed to be "protests" in the Florissant (North County, St. Louis) area around 4 today.
I know this thread started on the other side of the state but it seemed to be as good a place to post.

I heard that it didn't happen, but had been talked about only to close it down so that the protesters could walk across it.
