Arthur and the riot


Just like in Ferguson the rioters came from outside Elwood City. It is still going on. Arthur and them are safe. The riot is in the rough part of Elwood City. Near the projects and section 8 houses. That part of Elwood City. The kids in that part can't go to their school at this time. That school is Green Meadows Elementary School. It is closed until the riots end.

"I heard Green Meadows is closed," said Arthur, "Do to the riot."
"I also heard that," said Brain, "We are lucky we are going to Lakewood."
"We sure are," said Francine, "I feel sorry for them kids that go to Green Meadows."
"We all do," said Arthur, "I feel sorry for everyone there."

They all in fact do. They want the National guard to come in. So they will write the Mayor and the Govenor to see if they will listen to them. They know the the police is not enough to calm the riot. They want more action.

"I hope they listen," said Arthur, "To calm the riots down."
"Trust me they will," said Francine, "The national guard can get the job done."
"I know your right," said Arthur, "I just hope they listen to us kids."
"I am sure they will," said Francine, "We need the riot to end."
"I hope they do," said Arthur, "It worked in Ferguson, Missouri."

They finished their letters and after school put stamps and put them in a mail box. They will be on there way.

"That is good to see you taking action," said Mrs. Read, "The national guard needs to be called in."
"We love this town," said Arthur, "The riot needs to end and things will go back to normal."
"It sure worked in Ferguson," said Mrs. Read, "They should work here."
"That is the idea mom," said Arthur, "I hope they listen."
"I am sure they will," said Mrs. Read, "They love children."

They will get their letters. And they will listen. See what happens next chapter.
