I understand protesters are doing their best to keep protests peaceful but it's more difficult by far when they're confronted by hundreds of National Guards. Please please don't get arrested if you can help it but keep fighting - it's only a matter of time before we have another showdown here in NZ.

The question is whether Trump will pull another TACO and pull the troops back in a couple of days, or will he leave them there to intimidate the protestors. What if someone decides to shoot a soldier or a Marine? What if they throw bottles and rocks at the soldiers? Will we have another Kent State? That's the message Trump is giving Americans. "They will shoot you if you protest against me'

Now the other question is whether Americans are willing to put their lives on the street to continue to protest. I don't like the odds. I am playing watch and see. Will they or won't they shoot protestors?

Look, it’s going to get rough out there. We can’t predict what Empire will do, but one is for sure, it can’t prevail.
