Possible "unrest" coming to Las Vegas in the near future??

Way back when the whole Confederate Flag fiasco was happening and MiniTrue was just beginning to scrub images of the Confederacy from the collective consciousness, two of those images that were targeted for removal were the UNLV mascot, Hey Reb!, and the teams' nickname, the Runnin' Rebel. Not much ever became of this as the mascot was "deemed" not racist and that was that.

Now, even though the Hey Reb! mascot was "deemed" to be not racist, there was enough of a focus on the nickname, with "Runnin' Rebels" being a not so thinly veiled reference to Confederate soldiers on the run from the Union after the Civil War, that the fact that the mascot was "deemed not racist" may not have been enough to permanently quite the calls for the nickname's removal. The declaration of non-racisthood for the mascot may have been just a momentary calming of the storm and when the calls to "end the hate" begin again, the consequences will never be the same.

Fast-forward to today and we see not a debate over whether symbols of the Confederacy should stay or be removed but rather a controlled and coordinated assault on public property and safety. Thus far the South-West has been quite, with the exception of [Arizona's capital] when President Trump spoke there, but I think this time of quite is about to end and Vegas will be the epicenter of AntiFA bullshit in the SW.

During the heat of the summer, anyone who has the means gets out of Vegas for as long as they can, this includes many of the 29,000+ enrollees at UNLV, many of whom are from out-of-state and can leave for the whole three months. Over the next few weeks the fall semester is set to begin and along with it the college football season which tends to bring many tourists to Vegas. Temperatures in the Vegas Valley, now still hovering around 105-107F for daily highs, will soon be in the mid 90s, which translates to about 89-92F when very low humidity is factored in. It's been said the most riots happen when the temperature is between 80-89F.

I have no hard info, no Uncle intel, to pass on; just a gut feeling.

I hope I'm wrong and September/October will come and go without any violent riots in Vegas but I'm not so sure that will happen.

Keep this in mind and if you come across any information related to Vegas and AntiFA please post it here.
