OMG. I did NOT believe this would happen. I truly didn't.
I thought we would be going to war tonight. I even was thinking how I could wear my respirator in case I got tear-gassed.
And now.
A calm.
Thank god.
I heard helicopters overhead a little while ago, and for the first time in ten months I am not afraid.
"Must just be the news helicopters" I thought.
Twitter reports people are dancing at George Floyd Square (a mile from me) to a tuba and "an improvised drum that appears to include a Bundt pan."
LOL
HM just went down there to join in.
I need to rest and restore.

Nixon's attorney general John Mitchell "guilty, guilty, guilty" on the radio.
(Mitchell was found guilt of perjury, conspiracy, etc. in 1975.)
I did not believe it would happen either. I gave it up when the verdict still had not been read half an hour later. I thought it was over. I am so happy for Minnesota.
ReplyDeleteNot so arrogant now is he? I hope that he is in the slammer until the sun burns out.
ReplyDeleteI suspected that the relatively short deliberation would mean guilty verdicts, but I was afraid to even say it out loud. Waiting in front of the TV — it’ll be hard to forget that feeling.
ReplyDeleteI was very pleased to read the verdict in my newspaper this morning.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that verdict went the way it did. Some measure of justice at last.
