2. The ACLU has brought in 100-150 volunteer attorneys.
3. The activist groups have been planning and practicing for the announcement. They have issued lists of sites in St. Louis that will be targets for protests.
4 . Illinois State Police and Missouri State Police have created plans to handle the protests.
5. Local churches are being set up as shelters and sanctuaries.
6. St. Louis University has issued guidelines for students who plan on participating in the protests.
7. Sales at local gun shops have tripled in the last month or so.
I sincerely hope this stays peaceful, but I doubt it. It's going to be a shitstorm.
