Preppers’ PING!!
16. Stay away form Al Sharpton.
Strange. Has the author never heard of carrying or using a gun? It is not mentioned once.
17. Get to the nearest red zone.
Good common sense list.
Why has “Survival Mom” studiously avoided advising people, especially people who are at home, to arm themselves?
All of this advice boils down to “run and hide”. What happens when running and hiding doesn’t work? Just let yourself and your loved ones be slaughtered? That’s what it sounds like to me.
I liked the tactical pen. I had never seen one.
Be polite. Be professional. But have a plan to kill everyone you meet, when SHTF.
1. When a riot may be starting, don’t wander around in the area of the rioters.
2. Don’t attempt to blend in with the potential rioters. Stay away from that area instead of looking for trouble.
3. Don’t “bug out” to run away from a little, old riot. Stay at home, where it’s safer than wandering around.
4. If you hear breaking glass or smell smoke during a riot, then you may live in a bad neighborhood. Avoid running outside in panic without finding the source of smoke, if the house is not going to burn down. If you’re on the receiving end of the Baxter treatment shown in the movie, “A Fistful of Dollars,” forget about surviving. You’re a displaced suburbanite and probably have no chance of escaping the horde of armed thugs waiting outside. That’s one of the few kinds of movie scenes that could happen in real life in the event of a riot in a bad neighborhood.

Broadbased rules if chaos and violence erupt around you:
#1: if in a vehicle, keep the vehicle moving no matter what
#2: if on foot, separate from a mob (typically by following the largest mobster until an opening appears)
#3: if being chased by a mob, begin dropping your caltrops behind you as you flee (you do carry stackable riot control devices, yes?)
#4: if mass coughing and bleeding breaks out in the crowd around you, put on your foldable N95 respirator that you carry in your wallet or glove box of your vehicle (eye protection and gloves are a double plus good bonus)
#5: now is not the time to get in some last moment prepper shopping (too late, too bad)
#6: now is not the time to be seen packing heat visibly by passing LEO, paramilitary, or military forces (never pick a 1 man fight against a 1st World government/military)
#7: find safety first, and keep in mind that “safety” might be a brief, unexpected thing or place or group
#8: get to your bug-in location if reasonable, or follow your best bug-out plan, otherwise
#9: AFTER you’ve established physical safety, insure that you have food/water/shelter-from-elements/weapons/gear/ammo
#10: work on improving your situation
got my house surrounded by job applications. that should keep the homies away
Shoot first. You can always blame it on a random stray round later.
