Just home from the No Kings protest in Hot Springs.

4. The local LEOs were not going to let things get out of hand - good on them.

Much of downtown HS is in the National Park. We were in a park across a parking lot from the federal courthouse/post office and across the street from the National Park HQ.

I have no idea about the training for National Park Police. Then again, I have no idea about the crowd control training of the HS PD. Not much training was needed, just an exercise of good judgment.

The crowd was overwhelmingly older folks. I's say at least 75% of the folks there had Medicare cards in their pockets.

Of course vets were there. At some point we all took an oath to defend the constitution. That oath has no expiration date.
