Somewhere around here I have the video of the first cops fleeing the intersection at ground zero as the riot started, and leaving the victims to the crowds as they were being dragged out of their cars, and their cars attacked.
The cops fled for their lives without lending a hand at all.
I have another piece of video of some suburbanites crouching behind their automobile road blocks, protecting their city street with pistols and baseball bats, as thugs cruised by evaluating them and their defenses.
The whispering, crouching yuppies, said that cops occasionally came by, and that they had to hide their guns from them, it is incredible video.
I think there is a very -- very -- good chance that in the event of a full societal breakdown, everybody from the yuppies to the ghetto trash, will be taking out anyone in a blue uniform. The cops are a violent gang that wants to come out on top. They are not anyone's friend and I think that will be readily apparent. They won't last long.
OK, lets say I don't blame them, as if blame would be an issue.
That's what I expect even in Texas.
So what about a 4WD and a little widowmaker?
I have a game on my iPhone - Zombie Highway. You Pop 'em, scrape 'em off, and keep goin'.
If this sort of scenario ever occurs, I'm thinking all bets are off. I'm one of the few left (IMO), that will put my safety first.
I just wondered if it was do-able.
What I've learned is, 4WD is good, worrying who I "hurt" is stupid and should be ignored, have a gun for the difficult spots.
