Yeah, the guy I'm covering called in sick and now I'm supposed to be going there at 1800 tonight. Just fucking great
I'm going to be located three miles from the courthouse. I got front row seats to the hottest action in this bitch. And the best part about it.....I have no weapons of any kind I can take with me. That's right gents, I'm FOing Update: Talked to a captain that spent the night up there last night. Supposedly we will have an armed escort, bug out vehicle ,and location if shit goes crazy. In addition supposedly an FBI task force is shacked up in our hotel. Feeling slightly better about the whole thing now |

I know! You construct a weapon. Look around you – can you form some sort of rudimentary lathe?
|

Other guy called in sick, you say?
How odd Keep your head down! |
|
I hope you're planning on taking a rental car...aaaaand you might wanna go ahead and check the "optional insurance" box on the form, too. (and upgrade to a full-size SUV)

You should call in and tell your boss you have been diagnosed with Rectal Glaucoma....
you can't see your ass coming into work today. Just go, you'll be fine. |
|
Be safe and carry a dry chemical fire extinguisher (or several if possible).
Ever get a face full of that sh@#? The dry chemical that chokes out immediate area, and provides concealment from time to time....You know.... After all: with all those fires, can't be too safe... |

hey op. you dont sound so well. sounds like you have a really bad head cold, and that your sinuses are severely infected. should prob take a break a few days, definitely shouldnt be flying a plane right now

What's the problem? Get out there and join 'em. Plenty of White Guilters mixed in already. |

Best I can tell, law enforcement are not allowed to intervene. These apparently are protected class citizens. If they are harmed while committing a crime, that is an injustice that will attract the attention of the White House, apparently. Basically your only option is to watch and take pictures.
In which case, this should be some pretty easy overtime for you sir. |

Junior reserve? That sucks bro. Fo or cpt? Where do you stay?
|
|
|
if you are really concerned for your safety. Bring a sleeping mat and camp out In the Green Zone. Don't go outside the wire!

There is a training course that you can take as a pilot to allow you to be armed when you fly. I forget the name, but talk to your bosses to see what the deal is. It is based out of Artesia NM, and provided by the Air Marshals.
EDIT: http://www.heritage.org/research/lecture/2012/05/obamas-planned-disarming-of-commercial-airline-pilots-a-mistake Looks like it may no longer be applicable??? |

Just hold up your cell phone like you are streaming video and you can go where ever you want. Occasionally yell "fuck the police".
You will be fine. |

View Quote As I understand it, I will be two miles from a race riot going on outside my hotel. That's infromation from the flight crew that just came in. It's certainly enough to make anxious. |

Just paint "NO JUSTICE NO PEACE" on an old t-shirt, if you are about to get hassled wave the shirt at them. It worked for Don Cheadle in Hotel Rwanda.

They are full of crap. Which area are you staying in? There is nothing going on around the airport and Clayton had protests but no rioting. South St Louis had big protests and some minor rioting. |
