Trump Rally in San Diego

tomorrow will be a long day. I will be posting, when possible, photos on facebook. Search my name. The same for twitter by the way. If it gets too hot I might go live on Periscope and stream.

But we know that the counter protest intends to ahem, violate free speech zones. and as of now, estimated crowds for tomorrow are about 2000. Four of my local PDs are already getting briefed. But we do expect to have some "fun." And yes, we intend to stay safe. and yes we are taking honest to goodness riot gear tomorrow.

They are setting barricades, but I suspect this will be a long day.

If you live in san diego, and want to protest, well you will be joining the union movement, local activists, and also contingents from outside the city. If you want to avoid the mess. do not even to downtown even in the morning. And we expect this to be a mess. Need to pack a power brick as well

alkaline batteries for the scanner. I do not expect the batteries to last all day.

And to be brutally honest, I am not looking forwards to this... it can be quite dangerous
