Armed citizens fire on rioters in Durban, South Africa. The police are unable to stop the rioting and looting or protect anyone so the people have to protect themselves.

Every neighborhood needs some roof-top Koreans.
And Paul Kersey.

My guess is, most neighborhoods are incredibly well-armed and stocked and each home is occupied by Paul Kerseys, rooftop Koreans, Dirty Harrys, Wyatt Earps and many others.

If the thin veneer of society comes loose from the world, and then that comes to their yard and messes with their: spouse, child, dog, truck, etc. in any way?

I predict the thin veneer of a polite society will be glued back down very quickly(!) and the polish restored much sooner rather than later.

As it is now, most of the problems come from only a few and most know who they are and are personally motivated to make those problems go away, but can’t for whatever reasons.

Unfortunately, nowadays the problems those few cause seem to be helpful in some way to the powers that be in charge, so those few are politically protected from receiving any meaningful justice and are often encouraged to cause problems, pain and damage.

Remove those powers that be in charge and see how the world changes.

And from what I could see, they did not hit a single one. I think they are missing the point of firearms use. Not to mention, shotguns are worthless at that range. They need a nice Remington 700.

Let’s say the Rats lose in 2022. Who would be shocked to see rioting and looting start again?

House and Senate, that's for nerds. They'll wait for 2024. They'll make sure Kamala Harris wins (or Joe Biden's body double) otherwise, there will be riots all over America.

The Democratic Party is using rioting as a method to cement their hold on power. It's clear that the Supreme Court is already intimidated (particularly John Roberts)

I imagine if it went down like this, as in total anarchy, the death toll and body count would be horrendous here.

Nobody would know who is with who and “friendly fire” would be massively high.

They were firing rubber bullets (so said the source I saw).
Makes pretty clear “f around and find out”.

The “roof Koreans” has two notable tactics:
- swap gear often
- nobody talks about it, ever.

Progressives tried to hit several neighborhoods. It did not go well for them.

it is the 12 gauge pump shotgun is the very best home defense weapon.

Except Xiden called for a double barrel shotgun. His advice was to blast the two barrels out the door. So then you’re stuck with an empty gun against the perps
