This sentence pretty much says it all. Good grief, raise the white flag and surrender already. Just give the thugs all your stuff--heck, give them your car and house too. Maybe give them your entire paycheck. Just hand it over, schmuck--let 'em take over the city. Then the next city, and the next....
Just give it to them. And maybe, just maybe they'll leave you alone. (Do I really need a sarc tag?)
This is absolutely disgusting.
Next it’ll be “just relax, take it, and enjoy it”.
Obama’s new rules.
Even a German “mob” of “workers” marching out into the countryside to dig up produce was most likely very orderly. After all, they were Germans, and that was nearly a century back, in terms of civilizational decay.
In our context, it will go straight to looting, riots, carjackings, and home invasions. Starving people won’t stay at home.

Based on my research and observations its going to get worse...and I am an optimist.
DC cops are good at writing parking tickets. Other than that, useless.
No kidding. UGH. >:^(
That’s why I keep urging folks to move away from the big urban areas. They are going to detonate when the food conveyor hiccups and grinds to a halt.
Than came crack, and other cheap but highly addictive drugs. My experience, through observation, is that drugs are at the root of probably 90% of all crime.

Actually that is a leftist nostrum.
Research quoted by Dalrymple states that criminals are most likely to use illegal drugs. Therefore they rob and are violent and drug using. It is the character of the user that determines their use and their criminality.

Shameful that we live in a country where our cities are war zones and that people cannot travel through them unmolested.
Dig the bit about parties of "workers" "marching" out to the farm country to steal food. Wonder how that will work out here in the good o' US of A?
Well, re: DC and Virginia. . . .they've got to make it through 50 miles of heavily-armed suburbs to the FIRST farms. . . .and they tend to be Cattle Ranches or Horse Farms. You want anything CLOSE to regular food production, you have to be well into the Shenandoah. Which has, albeit low, "mountain pass" chokepoints on the three major routes (Virginia 7, US 50, and I-66W) followed by quarter-mile span bridges over the Shenandoah River. There's a REASON I live on the "safe" side of both sets of checkpoints. . .
Mad Max comes to mind.
We only got mobbed once, and it fortunately happened in the morning while the playas were crashing. A group of women were angry that their neighbors were getting food baskets but they were not (there was a process to determine who got the baskets that the delivery crew was not involved in). The ride-alongs got it defused but not before the shouting attracted a sullen and shifty-looking crowd. We packed up and got ot of there fast.
Ironically, when Anacostia got a little gentrified in 2005 or so, and some condo development occurred and new stores and services were put in, the locals screamed bloody murder. I pity anyone who bought any of those condos-they are in the middle of a war zone.
What you do not qualify is that you have to go almost block by block to see the good places in Anacostia. Anacostia Park? Yes indeed very nice. The re-development of homes along Alabama and down toward St' E's, yes too.
But, if you go on the other side of the Southeast Freeway or on top of the hill above the parkway, you are at serious risk.
Washington, D.C. is indeed gentrifying but a big part of that is the changing demographics. Remember also who represents Ward 8; good old Marion Shepelov Barry, as degenerate and corrupt an individual as there is.
The Green line is a major commuting line that runs out into Prince George's Co. and runs through the Anacostia flats to get there, which is probably what the women were doing.
Vincent Gray as Mayor is a dud and has serious legal issues on his plate. The D.C. police are not interested in public safety as I know from personal experience, having called in a bank robbery and been hung up on as one example.
If the Federal Government stopped dumping millions of dollars into the City it would look like Detroit in about two years.
Washington, DC an all around equal disgrace and not worthy of the name of the finest president and patriot leader the USA has ever had IMO.
I “lived” in the WDC “black hole” for 30+ years. I moved to Utah several months ago. Yes, WDC is full of feral savages. Yes, I have had a very large smile for the past several months. No, I have no desire to return to that LIB cesspool.
“when the music stops”...
reminds me of an interview I heard with the author of “299 days”.
The realness of the collapse really hit home with folks when the sirens stopped. No more emergency services. No fuel to run the vehicles, and the cops, firefighters, and EMTs all went home to take care of their own families.
I was there three years in a row delivering food baskets, for an entire day each time. It that time the only police presence I saw was a single "officer" (the term can only be applied in the loosest sense) who dropped by the school where we were staging the food to make sure that we had "permits".
We need more Benard Getz’s to ride the rails.
