    Default Riots?

    The ferguson verict is going to be announced in a few hours. I'm in the heart of the city. They say they are going to be rioting all over. My club isn't near ferguson but still. I heard they've sold more guns this week than in 20 years and today they found a guy with bombs should I just not go to be safe. Mondays are usual good. Ugh. Idk what to do?

    I would assume that customers probably share the same worries as you and might stay in rather than head to the club. Being safe is more of a priority than a night at work.

    If I were you, I wouldn't go. Better safe than sorry, and odds are that your club won't be busy, due to people either being involved in said riots, or people are smart and staying home for the night.

    The verdict is already out but they won't announce it til 9pm! Obviously they're not going to indict him. I text my manager and he said he talked to the cheif of police and they don't expect riots in our area. I mean they've been protesting and rioting for 3 months. I was here in aug when it started and it was ok. idk. I've been off almost 3 months because of my wrist and this isn't going to end today.

    Whether the guy gets indicted or not, it's probably going to get real ugly there, real quick. All the $$$ in the damn county isn't going to do you much good if the fur starts flying & you get caught up in it. Don't put yourself in unnecessary danger just for the sake of your earnings, bc sooner or later, luck always runs out & we nvr know when that is going to be.

    Hell I'm in NYC and I'm not even sure I'm going to bother. Not so much for fear of my safety but because some protest groups would halt traffic and my clientele doesn't take the subway in.

    If I were you I'd worry about my safety and definitely would lay low. I know a lot has been going on in your life from your posts and you probably feel pressure to make this trip worth it, but at least take tonight off. Hugs.

    I know he's not going to get indicted. They've known since 4 but aren't announcing it until 8 and he was told not to turn himself in. It looks like all the protesting is focused at the ferguson police station and I work in il. So I'm going. If it's dead or I feel threatened I'll leave.

    Also, they've been protesting for 3 months so I'd have to just not go in the rest of my trip. They're going to be protesting for a while. Maybe no girls will show up and they'll close! I wish the fucken media would make a big circus out of it. I hate the media!

    Go ahead and stay where you are at girl there is no reason to try to go anywhere near there. They have already told a select few to go ahead and get better insurance they are expecting for this thing to blow up and I promise you no one will be going to any clubs for the next month when the verdict is given. I mean its a serious issue and if they dont riot then there point wont really get across. SO im Pro Riot, but dont be stupid girl walk alway and take the loss. XD no money will come from that

    that's what I figure. It'll take a few days. I don't work in ferguson. I work in il but I'm downtown St. Louis. I'm not worried about tonight just if any one will be there.

    Second the update request.

    I stayed in because protestors disrupted traffic, but to be honest, I would have been depressed as fuck if I had to sell rooms all night to probable bigots or whatever weirdos who want to drown their sorrows in a SC. If they even showed up in my mixed-ish club. It could be dead for all I know.
