I received this email earlier today. I wasn't sure how safe it was going to be at the Marcus Performing Arts Center anyway.
Anyone able to give an ELI5 to a non-American? I understand the current situation and what happened yesterday, is there a problem with Milwuakee or this art center specifically?

I have a feeling (just a feeling) that since the venue was directly across the river (which is closed) that secret service might expand the security zone, preventing its use.
Nah, but John Stewart is the only pragmatic, logical, intelligent, and non-bias person left on television so naturally he is at risk.
It’s understandable but it’s a shitty world we live in when you have to consider the safety of the venue you’re going to for some entertainment.
That's not a surprise. They're probably tripling security after this weekend. I know I would. Just because the enemy is insane doesn't mean they're stupid. Well not completely stupid.
