Major Riots Occurring NOW in Several Cities (video) – July 14, 2013 [Update 3]
The situation is escalating with major protests occurring in several major US cities. Watching the live streams, there isn’t much going on other than some people talking/chanting and a lot of walking. These types of situations can change quickly, though. Be prepared, stay safe.
Speakers on megaphones are calling for a revolution. This is a dangerous situation with the potential for it to grow beyond the control of the authorities (heck, when more than a couple hundred people form a group, it’s already beyond their control).
