It was in the times of Bedlam, chaos had come home for my county. The countries economy had been on a decline after a second republican candidate had not pulled our country out of the deficit of the last, but life had remained the same in my area. Gas was still high, jobs were still scarce but everybody made it all the same. Crime got a little worse and a littel worse as gasoline went up, but when there aren't any people livin near your home for 5 miles you don't frett over it much. My family still met on Sundays and had dinner, our garden still grew and our trucks still ran. We held to each other, and just had faith in family.
On Monday nights our scout troop still met, and continued to teach the boys about safety, first aid, tracking, fishing and living in the outdoors. The council events had been called off after strikes at the power plants had shut down the northern counties. The News papers that day had said that government strictures would be tightened and that a national state of emergeny might be in effect. Rumor held that China had been swelling their armed forces and allying with third world nations against the U. S. It was the Red Scare in a new shade of Yellow. The troops function in the community however grew with the panic and every boy was busy at least three days a week helping with relief efforts. At the end of the month the troop had both a camping trip and a service project planned for Camp Linwood, which was their yearly camp for the summer. Around June first the camp was victim to looting and arson, and most of its newer structures are now rubble. They planned to camp in the cabins and help the ranger in constructing a new home and clean up the other sites for new construction. More trouble was due for us however.
Escalations with the Russian and Georgian conflict made news on Wednesday, other ex soviet nations are joining the frey, and supplying arms to Georgians. China and the US had ambassadorial dealings as well over foreign interest in steel. The national guard would be summoned up to safe guard borders after a petrol depot was robbed by a six men with a large deisel flat bed. The petrol was being stolen by night, and three security staff were shot by the theives when they were discovered. Martial law had been imposed gradually state wide. The first troubles to start, was a county over, in Hundinton. It was a rainy Friday night and the national guard unit arrived just before sundown. Frat Parties for State U students commenced a week before and the guard unit were the first to respond to the music ordinance. With the frat house being shut down a rowdy mess ensued and a female national guard private discharged three rounds when a young student fell over furnature in the living area of the house and startled her. Other soldiers began to fire and a massive riot spilled into the streets with police and national guard making a large number of forced entries and public arrests.
