What happens when the welfare state meets a power vaccuum. Scary if you live near a major city of any kind, really.

It is in mine.. not allowed to conceal/carry here in Columbus, Ohio. How the hell would I protect myself and family with savages running in the streets after a disaster. Oh well, screw the law at that point.. protection comes first.

That's the thing that strikes me about this. That the only thing separating a certain element of the population from overt crime seems to be a police presence. How many people out there among us only restrain themselves due to the fear of being caught, rather than a respect for right and wrong? Scary indeed.

>> What happens when the welfare state meets a power vaccuum.

Gawd is that the most solidly truthful statement I've seen yet.

Bottom line is the politicos are completely out of their depth (no pun intended) - we have senators speaking from parts unknown talking about how bad it is - NO KIDDING!!! The NO officials are in a bunker somewhere, outside the city, or otherwise ducking their duties. Speaking to the warm and comfortable watching FNC at home achieves nothing. The NO officials and the LA governor need to drop the platitudes and take some action.

This is exactly what I was thinking while reading about the looters and watching them on TV. You put it more eloquently, of course.

It's also why a great many folks own firearms. Cause they understand what happens when the welfare state dependents face a power vacuum.

Wait till the welfare state encounters the heavily armed citizen patriot.
