Never happen. I was in and out of the projects and those neighborhoods a bunch of times.

They are TERRIFIED of anything a few blocks past their neighborhood.

We forget they are like frightened children when in unfamiliar territory, and we give them WAY TOO MUCH credit if we think they are going to organize and strike out.

Big cities and suburban malls under threat from muslims. Minority neighborhoods under threat from themselves. Those are real threats.

An attack on Suburbia would be an act of suicide.

Staten Island has NYC’s gun laws of course, but everyone around here owns a business and has guns. Then there are the wiseguys. And now the crazy Russians and Albanians. (they dont do neighborhood crime, bad for business).

IT would be a massacre.

I think (hope) you’re right. There are barriers else they’d have done it by now. One being transportation, it’s one thing to wander down the street or round the corner in the hood, but quite another to saddle up a few hundred of your pals, gas up on the EBT card, and roll like thunder into a suburban neighborhood which is unfamiliar turf without the usual rabbit warren of hiding places and alternate routes. And you might say the typical BLM rioter would ‘stand out like a sore thumb’ in most of them.

Moreover, people in those suburban neighborhoods own guns. And the BLM types know it. (Is there a lesson here?)

"Never happen. I was in and out of the projects and those neighborhoods a bunch of times."

I never say "never" but although there may be some risk to close-in suburbs and gentrified neighborhoods (mostly the latter, and they're mostly populated by liberals, anyway) I don't see much risk to Classic Suburbia.

We live about 10 minutes by car away from what passes for "the ghetto" locally but it's about a 90 minute walk across multiple highways and bridges. Local cops hang out near the township line and they pounce on minor motor vehicle violations.

Consistent with Giuliani's "broken window" theory, individuals who are casual about other people's property rights also tend to be casual about traffic laws and motor vehicle safety laws. What will happen is pretty well known and makes the ne'er–do–wells less likely to leave the safety of their own neighborhoods.

The problem with the cabin in the hills is that the doctor, the dentist, the car dealer, Costco and Home Depot are also all about 10 minutes away from "the ghetto" and are the same long drive from that place in the hills except in reverse.
