Police are gearing up for election day,

according to a stranger cutting my hair in the beauty salon today. She said her friend works in Knoxville TN and it is "all hands on deck" for next Tuesday and Wednesday. I guess they have seen enough evidence of trump bullies willing to go ballistic, locked and loaded.

Of course, I don't know if anyone has heard anything similar there or in other locations.

And then I went and voted.

Anyone who wants to sow fear and confusion would use a major holiday or election day as a prop in their sick play.

Isis, kkk, alt-right, the bundies, just about any nut with a gripe and a gun (or truck or bomb or knife...).

So I'd expect an elevated response level is being prepared. No harm, no foul.
