Setting the stage for a "Boston Massacre" event. Somebody's going to do something stupid, and then...
I don't think it will be. It will be a false flag. The regime is livid that they can't provoke opposition to violence.
I don't live anywhere close to a big city. But I hope the people in these areas are still in the mindset of "don't shoot first, but there are more of us than them."
I also hope they've been emptying certain parts of hardware stores for a bit.
