At least for me, ive heard the arguments that people have presented, and i think this is valid on both sides of this, and i personally, not knowing whats going to happen in the next two days, i personally would vote on the side of supporting it. But if, in the next two days, we find that the situation has calmed itself radically, i would say theres no need for the emergency. So thats how im looking at it.
