I’m glad the guard wasn’t there. It would have only escalated.

From what I'd heard, the guard was there.
They were busy, too.

Guarding government buildings.

I listened to the State Police scanners that night and the guard was referenced as being staged. Someone decided not to deploy them, even though both local and state police were getting their arses kicked, and the town was under siege by all sorts of local and trucked-in trash.
