CA Dept. Forestry & Fire prepares for riots

greenspun.com : LUSENET : TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) : One Thread

I have a friend who has had a long an illustrious career with the California Dept, of Forestry and Fire Protection. He is is the latter branch and helps to coordinate wildland fire response in a section of California. He e-mailed me yesterday that they were all getting ready for y2k: scheduling deployment of staff and outfitting them in body armor. According to him, the "government" is expecting Watts-like rioting and they will be used to assist in control.

For what it is worth............
