“All wars are won with logistics.”
How are are they going to ‘get there’ and back? They do not have the transportation systems to get anywhere. Nor does the “community” have the health to walk there.
The “threat” in an inner city is one thing—and I doubt that the desire is really there—but they cannot operate effectively outside of their current “territory.” They will be unable to move, they will be outnumbered, and they would be out-gunned.
The people running this stuff understand the power of the images and the propaganda value. They also understand their “target audience.” The older white folk were terrified when then saw this “army”, dressed in black, marching up the road.
That is exactly the reaction they were looking for. It was a provocative action, but it was completely legal. They are looking for a response.
I understand your points and a dedicated, moderately equipped, and highly motivated group could do what you describe.
This is not that group.
I would never argue tactics with you. But these folks do not have the will, the way, or the terrain to win over a superior force.
They will arrive in cars, vans and pickups like everybody else.
Already I have gotten reports of “urban yutes” doing obvious target recon in rural but pricey Florida on quad ATVs with binoculars, etc.
Their smart phones show the google maps and images, so they can locate the nice targets with no near neighbors. Nice house, nice pool, RV, boat = $$$. Social media shows the family present. Pick some potential targets while at home, then drive out for an eyeball check of the lay of the land, fences, gates, security cameras or not, etc.
Folks better wake up to what can be coming.
It will never be 200 moving in a unit, that was a “show of force” meant to be a recruiting tool for Boss Jay.
It will be groups of five to a dozen doing ambushes and home invasions, South African home invasion style.
Until the on-the-ground ROE change to “shoot on sight” pro-actively. This will lead to a virtual race war.
