Trouble brewing

In our town tomorrow there is a march by an anti-Islamic group. Our community is made up of many different faiths and the police are expecting trouble. We are avoiding the town, the library is closed and I suppose many of the shops will be closed too. I can't stand intolerance and I hate the fact that these outsiders are coming to a peaceful community like ours to make trouble in this way.

That sounds awful. I can understand why you'd want to avoid being around any of that kind of nastiness.

LB: It turns out that there were less than a thousand people who attended and the heavy police presence ensured they were put on coaches and taken away as quickly as they came. There were helicopters circling overhead but apart from the helicopters we weren't aware of it.
