On April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will plunge much of Indiana into momentary darkness. Excitement and interest are growing for the big event as hundreds of thousands of people plan to be in the state to get a prime viewing of the eclipse.
The Indiana Department of Homeland Security, state agencies and local government personnel are partnering together to ensure all Hoosiers and visitors can experience the spectacle safely. Communities and families can visit www.eclipse2024.in.gov to learn how to prepare for the eclipse and get safety information during the eclipse. The webpage houses information on best practices for communities to plan for the influx of crowds, shareable public safety information and links to partner webpages for additional information.

I would love to go to see the eclipse. I have never seen a total eclipse. BUT if the department of homeland security is going to be there, I won’t. They are more likely to make the event UNSAFE. They need to be told to leave their water cannons, assault rifles, tear gas, and tazers behind. An eclipse is a peaceful event and police trained for military grade violence DO NOT BELONG THERE. It’s ironic and stupid to send violent people in to “keep things safe”. They are more likely to trigger a riot, then arrest people to “justify” their presence.
