They wouldn’t make it to the suburbs. They’d be shot in most areas. Even in the wealthier areas of the cities I am familiar with wouldn’t put up with the nonsense.
Done, done, done and done.
At least in my case - I have no doubt there are some reading this who need s slap.
Sounds about right Sarge.
Everyone should have all preps completed by now.
Carry AT ALL TIMES and ALWAYS be aware of your surroundings.
People I talk with predict the event horizon to be mid to late September.
Thanks for the ping Kart.
... 1968 - across America - the death of Martin Luther King touches off rioting in several cities after the media broadcast (Elapsed time: less than 3 hours)....
A bit more information on these riots which occurred in 110 cities...all should pause and think about that number, especially the younger folks here.
MLK Jr was assassinated April 4, 1968, a Thursday, in the late afternoon. In Washington DC instigated by Stokely Carmichael rioting started in the Howard University area at 9:30 PM. The exact time established by police radio calls. That's the three hours cited above. The neighborhood was almost exclusively black. Thursday night the rioting and looting and burning of local stores remained confined to that neighborhood. The evening news on the only three networks reported this local riot and the growing number of riots in American cities.
Almost all residents of the city believed that the riots would be contained despite the number of previous riots across the country. I lived in the northern part of DC on the border with Prince George County MD. On Friday morning I drove to work as usual, driving west and then down to Key Bridge into Rosslyn, VA. The offices overlooked the Iwo Jima Memorial on one side and with panoramic views of DC on the other sides. There was no news of continued rioting during the drive.
Don't recall the exact hour, but an hour or two past lunch we noticed a thick column of black smoke rising in the center of DC soon followed by three or four more. Radio started reporting on the spread of rioting and fires. The president federalized the local National Guard units and mobilized Third Infantry. Then we learned that The Washington Beltway was the cordon sanitaire, blocking traffic into and out of the city. I was stuck in Virginia for an unknown and undefined period of time. I was fortunate to have friends in Alexandria who took me in.
So, from first event to almost total shutdown and blockade of the city was 18 plus or minus hours.
Phone lines were busy, trying to locate family and friends was a bit frustrating for awhile.
OK, that was then and this is now, so what's different?
Let's start with local municipal governments. Almost all are controlled by minority and far legtlleft mayors. Baltimore recent reaction is emblematic of what can be anticipated. The let them riot response sadly will be the template. Do not expect the same cordon sanitaires to be implemented until too late. Couple that with the now larger suburban populations once confined by economics and the realization comes that the riots cannot be contained as in the past.
Communication. Increased mobility, cellular and social media make flash mobs inevitable, reducing defensive reaction time significantly. At the same time coordination by rioters disseminates intelligence as to LEO responses and locations. Keep in mind that the increased firearms sales weren't confined to conservatives.
Obviously there are more points to consider and I hope to see more posted here.
my two cents....
Interesting persecuting. I never thought of it that way, but it fits in with how riots, attacks, and preparing for natural disasters have occurred.
I feel somewhat better now.
Although I would feat Obama’s SS more than blacks. I think Mexicans would attack whites - they come from a 3rd world miv mentality.
“Now I’m thinking late Sept.”
Think early to middle Sept.
Bump!
The crash will actually happen the weekend of Sept 11-13.
When people realize that it’s not coming back will be a different matter.
As far as using Greece as a model, the people that are most pi$$ed are those that are getting their gov’t bene’s cut.
Here, it will be the EBT/Welfare crowd instead of retirees.
BLOAYA. Buy lots of ammo YEARS AGO.
“Inner City”.
A more accurate term would be “Urban Plantation”.
A place where dollars are planted and votes are harvested.
What do you base the “Sept 11-13” prediction on?
Thanks for posting that. People that ignore it do so at their own peril.
Think early to middle Sept.
Obama’s Iran deal is going to “seal the deal”.
The Senate is scheduled to vote on it in early Sept.
Good thing I don’t live in a city.
To the professional simpleton who put that in the keywords; Don't flatter yourself.
I am so screwed.
