Great post, thanks.

Mayor Nutter really read the riot act. Good on him!

And even the NAACP backed him up.

Good, good, good.

Maybe he can be the next Giuliani, and since he’s black perhaps no one will call him a Nazi or a Musolini.

Perhaps the left will try and insult him anyway, probably call him an Uncle Ton.

But he sounds like a man who will stick to his guns.

Bravo Mayor, TELL THE TRUTH!

Big city feral populations (read whatever you want into that) hunt in packs too large for even the most prepared among us. A standoff would produce dismal results and would most likely resemble a 'Black Hawk Down' scenario. Mogadishu is the best way to describe any major western country city today and the best advice for white city dwellers is Get Out Now While You Can!

That is exactly true.

I know how to use firearms to protect myself and my family.

What bothers me sometimes about posts here on FR regarding the use of firearms is the bravado and over heated macho rhetoric such as "I'll give the whole Mob lead poisoning!!!!"

If you are firing into mobs on the street, then you have already lost. You will end up dead or in prison yourself. Firearms in your home to defend yourself from invasion are a different matter.

If you currently live on a racial fault line, and have a family to consider, you may want to seriously consider getting out of there.

That isn't a "racist" statement - but simply a reflection of reality in today's Obama world. If you are a white family, Eric Holder is not, not, not looking out for you. Urban mobs that feel "empowered" and "entitled" to violent crime, assault, robbery, rape, and murder are a shocking reality.

Sad reality is that, and I have been saying this for a long, long time is that we are very close to a second civil war. These “flash mobs” are one such sign. Plus with a very ARMED American population, blowback could very well happen.

I do add, if the trouble ends up going into the burbs, there will be some very hard learning done.

I'm saying that there are too many people in the US that aren't adamant about 2nd amendment rights, or who are willing to see that right abridged. And I think most of those people are urban or suburban. And I think that black crime (or gun violence, to use their vernacular) is the main reason. Country folk are more likely to support gun rights in part because they don't live near a black neighborhood.

[Huck]

I realize they are demented—that living closer to a criminal area should make them want to pack heat, I’m just saying that’s how they “think.”

[Biggirl]

And that is why because of the taking “serious” of Amendment 2, other for these “flash mobs” incidents in the urban USA, you do not see the hororible violence that you over in the UK. There is a knowledge that, many, many Americans are ARMED to the teeth.

[Huck]

I agree. The more stories about perps getting shot (preferably dead) by would-be victims, the better. I have my doubts about modern, flabby American culture. John Wayne is dead. But who knows? Maybe we’ll regain our balls at some point, out of necessity.

Been reading a number of posts here, but that is me.
