“That’s what the second amendment and Winchester 1300 Defenders were designed for. If they try to burn my car, they’re going down.”
Bingo! And you can warn them ahead of time by declaring that citizens who shoot rioters and looters will be immune to criminal/civil prosecution.
Correct! , and hopefully not necessary. During the last LA riots, the people protecting their property were not molested by the Gobernment. Hopefully, that will hold true, but I would not bet on it.
In the weeks after Katrina there were several stories about neighborhood defense groups.
One story described a bunch of guys who were armed and serious, and had done things like rigging beer can “alarms” on the front porches on their block. The guys described one daytime encounter which had turned out very badly for the perpatrators.
And there also was the widely circulated photo of another group, showing about 20 middle-class neighborhood guys with their hardware and a huge warning sign telling looters to stay out or else. One would imagine that neighborhood stayed pretty safe.
