"Looks like they've got it going." Carter said.

The current video showed a crowd like the night before, only the
dozens were now hundreds. There weren't any fires yet, and the
scene seemed relatively calm.

"It may be a while before the professional agitators arrive,"
Jessica said. "Little Rock isn't a prominent target, like LA and
New York, or even Minneapolis or Portland They'll have to load
up some of the organizers and probably some loads of equipment.
Probably St. Louis will the staging point, so it's a short drive.
If the past is any indicator, they should have it going today,
tomorrow at the latest."

At this point the 'equipment' was a few large signs that looked
like poster board. "Justice for De'Andre" was demanded by a couple
of them, while another demanded that someone "STOP KILLING US!"
Later there would be more signs, professionally made, and carried
by professional participants.

"I'd have to guess they are going to make it a big one." Carter
said. "Little Rock is a little off the beaten path and not very
big, but it looks like no opportunity is being missed. I'm
guessing the local government isn't such that it won't get ugly."

"I wouldn't think so." Jessica said. "It's like St. Louis and
Kansas City, and most other big cities. Essentially, they're on
the side of the rioters."

"Sometimes," Carter said, "it looks like our best chance will be
that when they finally get things broken enough to try to take over,
they will find that they can't control it. That might give us some
breathing room."

"We'll do our best to make that happen," said Jessica, "if it doesn't
happen on its own. Or even if it does, anything we can do to make
it worse. The police forces, most likely augmented by military force,
can be kept busy in the cities, too busy to be grabbing our weapons
and supplies. Or trying to."
