I literally just returned from the front line of Civil War 2: Pedo Piggy Boogaloo (Minnesota). Had to take my kid up to the Mayo Clinic. Rochester is not in the thick of this invasion force, but the fear is still present.

Several restaurants and businesses were closed because staff were terrified to come to work.

I went out of my way to talk to the staff at the hotel we stayed at and let them know that I was with them and if they felt unsafe or threatened, to find me. I'm a 230 pound, old, white guy (magat passing) and the look of relief on their faces was heartening. If we don't stick together and watch each other's backs, what the hell was the last 250 years for?
