Preppers’ PING!!
When push comes to shove you be surprised what people who claim they don’t care will do to cling to life. One of the most dangerous groups that preppers will have to deal with are the anti-preppers, because they will not only covet what preppers have they will feel the need to punish preppers for having prepared and will feel morally justified in punishing preppers as in their twisted minds they will see the reason that the SHTF event occurred was because they dared prep for it. Their envy and indignation will be like that of leftist have for people who strikes out works hard and makes a good living or even gets well off and not sharing with them.
They will come after the hoarders because shortages are caused by hoarders taking more than their share. We know the hoarders don't deserve so much, because they are not sharing, which proves they are selfish, which proves they are undeserving, which proves leftists have the right to kill them and take their stuff.
Good post.
I have though of this and one thing that comes to mind is that the closest, most immediate group that can become a threat might not be the ghetto mobs who have a way to travel.
The most immediate danger might just be everyday non-prepper people from the area.
And especially dangerous when those non-preppers are neighbors or casual acquaintances with starving children - people who were thought of as friends, or at least non-threats.
At first they will be harder to defend against than gangsters (who will be ready to shoot a neighbor?) and they will already be inside our perimeters.
Also they will be ready to leverage any relationship or familiarity and will probably have some idea of who has some resources, the type and depth of security that can be mounted, etc.
And at first they won't come banging on our door to open it by force - they will send their starving little kids in an attempt to get us to open it willingly.
