Fresno police responded to a call for help from a CHP officer. Police that the officer was patrolling the area of North and Orange when he came upon a crowd of vehicles and bystanders near the intersection of Orange and North. The CHP officer then saw a white Chevy Tahoe doing donuts and driving recklessly in the intersection. The CHP officer attempted to stop the Tahoe . When he got out of his marked patrol unit to talk to the driver, a large crowd of about 40 people began yelling at the officer and the driver of the Tahoe. The people were yelling at The driver to take off so that the officer would not tow his car.

Fresno Police say that the driver did take off and the CHP officer got back into his vehicle to follow. The crowd then surrounded the CHP vehicle. They begin striking it with hard objects, possibly sticks, causing several broken windows and large dents. The officer was able to drive away as the windows were shattered on his patrol vehicle. Thankfully, the officer was not injured as a result of this attack.

Just the beginning of Obama’s agitators. Next 6 weeks should be -— interesting. And if Trump pulls it off, and I hope he does, then the ride to January 20.

Hold on to your hats.

Flat shooting varmint rifles fired from a few hundred yards away will eventually clear away rioters blocking intersections and attacking innocent motorists.

Oh,,,they know donuts.

: )

That is a great read...Matt.

And I send people there often.....

Thanks, FRiend............

That would be....Sunland-Tujunga...fwiw-

My FIL lived there for a few years....He liked living there...up in the canyon.

How many carry enough ammo in the car while commuting that they would be able to shoot their way out of a 40+ thug mob? Would an angry mob that big back off from any one person, regardless of armament?

The one advantage such a commuter would have is that people who attack in mobs tend to do so out of the illusion of "safety in numbers". The moment they hear gunshots, 98% of them will run. They'll even trample each other trying to save their own skins. So you wouldn't need to shoot all 40+, but maybe only a few, not including the first shot. The bad news is, those few will be the most psycho ones.

Agreed - eventually. But that will not help those unfortunates who are out and about, not if they get stuck up close in one of first few of these flash mob riots. Having been in Baltimore shortly before the riots and decided not to go back until the tensions blew over, I see no better immediate response to impending riots than to stay away. One of my instructors taught that the best plan for a fight is to not be where the fight is, if you have a choice.

Did you noticed that nobody stood in front of the cop car? They would have gone SPLAT!

1. Stay away.
2. Use your spidey sense to TURN AROUND when in doubt.
3. Use your weapons as a vehicle and drive over them.
4. Go to the guns at close range if trapped with no other alternative.
5. Help out from 400 yards if that’s where you find yourself after TSHTF.

3. should be flipped, my error.

I lived in Encino Hills. How many freepers would know the ‘h’ should be a ‘j’? Not many, so I went with phonetic spelling.

Thanks to the obama voters we are now officially a Banana Republic. And have been for some time.

How true!

The joke in my family was my FIL moved from Aguanga..to Tujunga...which he and his wife did.

Well..I did the grunt work.....

That was in the mid-80's...

Then many years later...I moved him from Tujunga to Pawhuska. Ha!!!

depends on magazine capacity., and you can carry enough magazines.

I like #1 and #2 (stay away, or turn around before you get there when something seems wrong/dangerous). That’s my approach to life ever since I settled down. Although, as a former Scout, I shoot daily for practice. Be prepared.

#3 worries me, not because I mind the idea of driving over thugs (I am worried how far I would get before they shifted to shooting from the initial recreational beat down) but because I mind the idea of driving through gridlock if the guys surrounding me won’t drive through thugs. You need the right car to push other cars out of the way.

#4, a shootout at close range, sounds like a losing proposition in a riot, but better than nothing.

#5, protecting our neighbors, sounds like a social duty - what we owe as decent, productive Americans.

With Mister Glock or KT2000 you can carry lots and lots of precious metal, 30 bites per taste ...

Blood lust is not pretty. If a mob crosses over from self-preservation to anger, I do not want to be at close range.
