2. Think good thoughts - send positive vibes...

And Never Give Up.

3. I hope you're wrong, but....

Bush's brownshirt thugs will be out in droves, just LOOKING for a "violent" protestor to put down.

Could get ugly. Hope it doesn't, pray it doesn't - for Kleeb's, and everyone else's, sakes.

4. I think there will be arrests and possible roughing up

of protesters but nothing like Kent State. A few deaths would be the last thing the group in power would want tomorrow. Media would have to report on it and Bushie wouldn't get as much air time.

They know there's plenty of time to go after lefties later.

Indeed, do send good thoughts to the protesters; there are probably a lot of fascists in town that will give them a hard time.

Given that past unprovoked beatings and detentions of protestors by the shrub's jackbooted thugs have failed to draw any public criticism, I suspect we're reaching the point where protestors can simply be shot on sight and their murders aired on pay-per-view.
