I really hate to say it, but let the cities burn.
I fear that there will be looting and riots win or lose. A friend of mine is leaving her house tomorrow and going north. She is one city away from Detroit and has a bad feeling about all of it.
The neighborhood I moved into 6 years ago was nice, but low income housing got put in about 1 mile away. The thug/pit bull crowd moved in (not all pit bulls are bad, but the ones owned by thugs are). They brought nice things like muggings, break ins, and random gunfire into my area.
I’m taking my arsenal and emergecy food supply (two big tubs of weight gainers body building mix - it will keep you going for quite a while, if not happily), and I’m heading over to my family home. Dad’s a vet. We’re hunkdering down for the duration.
Paranoid? I really don’t think so. Better safe than sorry...
