(I wrote this back in 2012. It was originally published at the old Western Rifle Shooters Association website, and since then it’s been reposted dozens of times on other websites. It’s also included in “The Bracken Collection: Essays and Short Fiction 2010 to 2019" which is available at Amazon, or you can get it directly from me. Details on my own website at EnemiesForeignAndDomestic.com.In response to recent articles in mainstream military journals discussing the use of the U.S. Army to quell insurrections on American soil, I offer an alternate vision of the future. Instead of a small town in the South as the flash point, picture instead a score of U.S. cities in the thrall of riots greater than those experienced in Los Angeles in 1965 (Watts), multiple cities in 1968 (MLK assassination), and Los Angeles again in 1992 (Rodney King). New Yorkers can imagine the 1977 blackout looting or the 1991 Crown Heights disturbance. In fact, the proximate spark of the next round of major riots in America could be any from a long list cribbed from our history.

Really like your FR profile....so many great quotes!!! I’m a keeper of QUOTES and I’ll add some of those to my list. Don’t ask why I keep a list...because they mean something to me even if they wouldn’t to anyone else.
Thanks for the thread.....
Whoops - thanked the wrong FReeper for the thread...
Cities have been in a low-level riot for a long time. That’s why a lot of us left them years ago and every day more people see the light and get out. Don’t see the light, pay the price.
I hope you are right, but that’s what the Confederates thought, too. Nevertheless, it will be very dangerous for trouble-makers in my neighborhood...
Republicans have always supported and funded every welfare program.
Yes they were “me too-ists” because that’s what the public thinks it wants. Any GOP’er who takes a principled stand on such a thing will soon find himself out of office or stuck in political oblivion. If you’re a GOP’er and you want to be a professional politician (Have multiple terms in office!) you are forced to give the public what it wants even in in the long term it’s bad for them. Your horizon never goes past the next election. Doing this as a career (around 10 yers in office!)soon you and your political opposite ( the Rat!] merge in word, outlook and goals.
I bought this trilogy for a friend, a retired Navy Commander. It took him a while to get around to it, but once he started he read them back to back. His comment to me "look when these were written. It is all starting to happen exactly like that."
Yep. Very prescient.
Cities are democrat s holes. Let them burn. They need us deplorable country folk more than we need them.
Same for China Town(s).😎
EBT ending will never, and can never, happen so long as the Federal Reserve remains. They can ‘print’ money on EBT cards at any time. The elites will pull the funds once they want riots to happen.
Future history.
It's easy enough to look up how to spell something.
Cannibalize.
It’s even easier to click the correct reply to link.
EBT cards are to subsidize the product producers and the stores that sell them, not the gibsmedats that use them.
Bkmk
I think they haul the bricks in for them today.
They already have, whether or not they can keep the control will be revealed in about 69 days.
When the music’s over, turn out the lights....turn out the lights.
