I agree that the riots will eventually spread to the suburbs, but I don’t believe that it will be for very long and it will only happen in certain areas.
In conservative strongholds, these types of riots and looting will be met with extreme violence early and it will never happen again.
In extreme liberal areas, the residents will attempt to shut themselves in and wait for help. Help that will never arrive in time.
My code for the last 15 years has been to move as far as reasonably possible from urban areas staying away from rail lines, bus lines and near interstates. Given where I am now, it is 3-4 days of trekking without same conveniences, more time than most recently urban nomads will foray.
In liberal strongholds, the police will be ordered to disarm suburban residents "in the interests of public safety". The police will follow those orders. Residents who use any type of force in self-defense will be arrested. Rioters will not be arrested, though a few may be killed by residents.
You can expect severe restrictions on the sale or possession of ammunition after the first such incident.
There will be multiple waves of suburban invasion before this changes. There will also need to be replacement of discredited public officials at various levels. (Think sudden resignations or firings of police chiefs and city managers for example).
“I agree that the riots will eventually spread to the suburbs,”
Eventually? Where I am, DuPage County IL over 30 miles from downtown Chicago, there were riots In Naperville. In Bloomingdale the cops are closing the big box stores and blocking entrances to the parking lots.
For me eventually was yesterday.
