At 10.30 last night one or more helicopters were flying at low altitude over our house (I counted 15 passes).  Three rapid shots, sounding as if they came from an automatic gun of some kind, rang out on a nearby street.

Crowds have  apparently looted and destroyed shops in our neighborhood, including the two pharmacies upon which we depend (It is 8.20 a.m as I write, and I haven’t seen the damage).  On the local listserve a woman neighbor wrote early this morning: “I looked out of my window and there was antifa on the corner opposite the pharmacy” (sic).  Really?!  Were they advertising “antifa”in neón lights?

And this is America?!
