So to put it in perspective... The Bloods and the Crips are protecting the streets as a result of a peace effort from Islam. It must be opposites week.
I saw that hundreds of pastors were meeting with community members earlier, developing plans to curtail violence. Those pastors and community members are working with the Bloods and Crips to keep the peace tonight.
The Bloods and Crips were reportedly standing between rioters and police last night. If there were gang members involved in the rioting, they weren't Bloods and Crips (according to reports). And, there are now 2,000 National Guards and 1,000 police officers on patrol.
I don't know; I feel a little nervous, but hopeful. I hope the peace can be maintained and that protestors will actually clear out when curfew hits. I think that curfew is gonna be very difficult to enforce.
