I got the details from my niece about the IRS incident. This is just her account. 
 

She says it’s a cover up. There was a gun man in the building pointing a gun at people. There were no shots fired and the building was evacuated. Those who couldn’t evacuate hid. 
 

See said their security is made up of rent a cops ( I thought they had federal officers) and they were running around waving guns at every one, then MPD showed up with rifles waving them at every (probably because of the previous night’s events).

She said there were no announcements over the intercom, just people yelling for others to run. Everyone is traumatized, and lots of people not reporting to work.

This stuff worries me because when you purportedly have members of one group of people broadcasting that they are prowling with the intent to do harm, you will almost always have members of counter groups of people who take it as gospel and mount their own efforts to "patrol" as opposition.

Unless cooler heads prevail, it sets communities up for widespread violence.

Unfortunately I think it's the only thing that will fix the problem.  People will see it as the easiest option until they don't. They will then try the hard options, but lives will be lost and everyone will ask why we didn't do that from the start. The answer will be that we are all lazy and afraid.

Those currently in office greatly benefit from pitting one group against another. Furthers their agenda. Don't fear your fellow citizens until they give you direct reason. I consider every day a struggle to survive and thank God I have.

Its a game as old as time. Doesn't matter if its politics, race, religion or whatever. Keep the people fighting among themselves and they're too busy to pay attention to what the people in power are doing. Plus, there's always money to be made out of it.

Sounded like an articulate young man to me.   I had no trouble understanding him.
