Don't be alarmed if you notice Marines training, guarding certain objects or firing blank shots...

Actually with all the crime threads going on (on another board...) people may be happy to see some military force and won't be alarmed!... They will just think that the governement really read all the email they sent and took care of their concerns grinning smiley

Kind Regards,

Hey!

Reminds me of the incident a couple of years ago when the Marines were training with a group of local residents simulating post hurricane conditions and were overwhelmed by the "mob" of simulated hungry homeless "survivors".

I believe they increased their ranks accordingly.
