As the mother of a son who lives, works, goes to school and is a member of the National Guard in Baton Rouge, I am watching this closely and every time they say 'we don't know if it is an active shooter situation' it makes me sick to my stomach. There just isn't enough information for me NOT to be flustered.
And the boy isn't responding to texts.

My heart dropped when I saw this on television.
This can't keep happening.
Prayers for them.

Hopefully he's not responding simply because he's a guy and guys do that to their moms.

Apparently it is drill weekend and with the news coming out of the area and most of his unit are from the school (LSU) they allowed them to use their phones for a few minutes to contact family-apparently I am not the only mom who texted to find the whereabouts of their kid.

Just got this off of a local New Orleans TV website:
BATON ROUGE, La. - Two police officers have been shot and killed near the police headquarters Sunday morning, according to reports on The Advocate and WBRZ, and according to a statement from Mayor Kip Holden.
The Advocate reports that two Baton Rouge police officers have died, according to William Daniel, the city's chief administrative officer.
The officers were shot early Sunday - and - as of 9:30 a.m. a manhunt was on for the suspect or suspects.
A witness told WBRZ-TV that a man was dressed in black with his face covered shooting indiscriminately when he walked out between a convenience store and car wash across from Hammond Air Plaza. Police closed the streets between the police department’s headquarters and Interstate 12.
Holden is asking for prayers for the officers and their families.

I am just sick over hearing this. My DH's cousin's DS is in police training now in TX. I just can't imagine what families must go through every day when their loved one leaves for a shift.

Hmmm, CNN is reporting something very different:

anxiousmom, I am glad they let the boy notify you that all is well. I hope it stays that way. I really worry that this is going to be a repeat of 1968 with violence everywhere.

What are we going to do when the police refuse to go to work? No longer respond to domestic abuse calls? Refuse to go to your house when your daughter is raped? Did a crazy drug enraged stranger just walk into your house? Who will respond?

I hope they get word soon. I don't know how close it is to campus-they mentioned on the news at one point that campus police were also responding, and I interpreted that to mean it wasn't that far away. Just made my stomach hurt worse.

You know this just pisses me off. This isn't a form of protest, this is murder. This is execution.
You are not fighting for your community or making a statement. You are a fucking loser. You are a thug. I don't give a flying fig what good you may have done. I don't care if your life was hard or easy. I don't care what color you are, your ses, or your family status.
You, shooter, are a piece of shit and the world is a better place if you are dead.

Sickening!!
My heart goes out to the families of these officers, and the families of all law enforcement who send their loved ones off to work every day, not knowing if something like this will happen to them.

This country is spiraling out of control. And it's not Obama, Trump, congress, liberals or conservatives. It's lunatics with guns who are destroying us.

I am sick of people taking justice (as they see it) into their own hands.

Omg I can't deal
And I've got political asshats that are friends of friends on FB making conspiracy theory statements. Crap like this is so Obama can declare martial law and cancel the election. STFU!!! Geez people the story isn't even known yet. I've changed my status to see only posts of friends so I can get rid of the shit.
Like how low can you be to post crap when the story isn't even known yet. Sickos. Sickos shooting people. Sickos posting crap online.
I just can't deal anymore. This is not the world I live in. Sad, heart breaking, I'm going to hide.

Sad, heart breaking, I'm going to hide. I hate people who make it all about their personal agenda. I have one asshat who posted about banning white trucks right after the attack in France and all I wanted to do was to tell him to f-off, be a human, and realize not everything has to do with his damn guns.

The boy will be coming home from his drill and I was hoping that he wouldn't be near where they are looking for the suspects.
