This is where I think our right wing talkers have failed us.

If there is rioting in the cities, it doesn’t require a response in the country and I wish our radio people were differentiating the rural from the urban areas. For that matter, rioting in a city always ends with the rest of the country paying for it financially and that needs to stop.

Sorry to reference this on FR, but last month I read a work of fiction along these lines (NSFW) entitled “The Collapse” that can be found on an adult site called ‘Literotica’. The first 2/3 of the story are the relevant portion and the parallels to this story are remarkable. Remarkable for the fact that it’s not just a handful of people who are now contemplating this kind of situation.

It’s well worth reading the entire article down to the point where vigilante sniper teams launch their counterattack against the urban flash mob rioters.

This scenario is likeliest in cities where the Entitlement Community holds majority sway.

What the more well-fed socialist political folks don't want you to see:

Oh, yeah, some of the poorest folks riot in some city from time to time. But they're accustomed to "austerity." Watch, instead, for the cream of the political constituent crop from both parties perpetrating the mother of all riots.

See Greece and other countries that are recently repudiating debt ("haircuts:" the sneakier form of repudiation).

Bonds will collapse. Skyrocketing interest rates will follow, and a collapse of business and government activity after that. Pensioners will take "haircuts." Planners, teachers, police, building inspectors will be unemployed or have their incomes severely cut! NGOs will close! Business, lacking its usual government-funded customers, will shut down. The vicious cycle will repeat again and again. Most of the middle class and much of the upper is now supported by funding from government.

Most of those who now receive larger incomes and benefits from government will be the most noticeable rioters of the near future. Many, having already lost their jobs, are part of the new crime demographic (cattle rustlers with fancy rigs, apparent former middle class bank robbers in ski resorts, the new wave of officious robberies backed only by outrageous regulations and false allegations, all).

FYI, a huge portion of the black population that once existed in S. CA, left LA en mass over the past 20 year or so, headed to places east and south bound, like Georgia, Texas, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, east coast and north east. They were replaced by Hispanics, many of which are hard working folks.

The days of large riots driven predominantly by black folks, over things like court trials, won't be repeated in the LA region.

Much of the black population took the midnight train to Georgia, Texas and other points east and south.

Your scenario for what will happen is pretty darned accurate IMHO.

You might want to post it again here so the uninitiated can get ready.

It sounds like whites (and middle-class blacks) should get out of the big cities — or buy some major guns and ammo. The suburbs will be ready to ‘repel boarders’.

In response to recent articles in mainstream military journals discussing the use of the U.S. Army to quell insurrections on American soil,

Unless things have changed in the past few months, I don't think the military forces will fight the American public. I served for almost 40 years, and not many supported this regime. That includes all races with blacks who felt stupid voting for the won just because of skin color. Believe me, the sniper numbers on our side are in our favor.

One example:

County worker (Psychiatrist) charged with trail sabotage
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2939254/posts

There’s a growing wave of crimes committed by people of similar status and background all over the country. When they lose their jobs or have their incomes cut, they’ll explode.

As for poverty, that doesn’t cause crime. Immorality does, and it’s exhibited in all economic classes.

I have a question. It's something I've wondered about people being pulled from their vehicles - especially Rodney King (wasn't he in a Semi?)

If I am in my car, sometimes a Jeep Cherokee, sometimes an old Camero,and I encounter a mob, can the mob prevent me from running them down?

Seriously. What prevents the mob from getting creamed? My sense of human worth? It seems to me that Rodnely King could have ran them down.

If it were my life, I'd absolutely run a mob over. Or can a mob be so huge, that even a car is useless?

McGee BTT. Great essay, Matt. May it never become prophetic.

A couple of embellishments if you'll indulge me. For one thing, the first thing that breaks down in this scenario is emergency services. The mob sets a fire and somebody calls the fire department and here comes a big, red, loud, visible truck with easily-identified occupants in to fight the fire...and to get ruthlessly shot. Ambulance services? Forget it. And so the focus of the action turns to emergency rooms, quickly overwhelmed by the wounded of both sides and their friends, who will carry the fight to the sanctuary. I cite Beiruit, Iraq, and Guatemala as recent examples. The prepared neighborhood group had better include medical care because it's the only place that it may safely be provided.

Walled cities. This is, after all, the classic human response to predatory violence from outside. These will be neighborhoods with defensive perimeters, including bulldozed security zones that provide adequate fields of fire. See Israel and the PA for examples.

Logistics. Always this in warfare, and those enclaves who have provided for supply and storage will survive where those less prepared will not. This is true of water and food, but it is more immediately true in the realm of medication - see contemporary Greece for an example.

Social attrition. Small organizations - local gangs through neighborhood defense forces - who lose, will be wiped out. Those allying to a larger group will be protected so long as they are convenient and betrayed and shattered when that becomes more convenient still. People will be killed not for what they have done but for what they are, or worse, what they can be accused of symbolizing. See Bosnia/Herzegovina for an example, or, for that matter, all of human history.

Depressing list? You bet it is. This, however, is the breakdown of society from which the ones who pursue it imagine a stronger, newer, more just society emerging. The phoenix is, however, imaginary, while the ashes are real.
