Couldnt post the whole article. Some of the text just wont show up. I have been hearing some pretty crazy things about this event. Do you guys think something may go down in near future? I heard buses of school kids were being brought to a Denver stadium but this is from one source which I think is unreliable. Anyone in Denver saw anything a little awkward?
