Is it just me, or does it feel like everything is about to explode?
Last night in San Francisco, there were a gazillion riot cops for a few anarchists who took over a school and may or may not have smashed a Wells Fargo. I said, “What? They need a million cops for a few anarchists?” A cop heard me and looked at me like he wished he could smash in my skull. Then I was a little ashamed. He was working Saturday night, and he probably didn’t like Wells Fargo either.
