Outside their habitats, theyd get their asses kicked.
Long term yes, but in the short term they can do a lot of looting. The fact is the gangs are armed and organized. Most suburbanites are not armed. Those that do have weapons are largely unorganized. In fact any attempt to organize them gets suppressed by the cops. Just look what happened to neighborhood watch volunteer Zimmerman.
Once the rioting comes out of the cities it would take weeks for effective armed patrols to be put together. And in the blue states they would find themselves fighting the Cops and the National Guard more than the rioters.

I think you underestimate the preparedness of the non-urban denizen. Small towns, rural areas are certainly not unaccustomed to protecting themselves. The county I live in has more guns than Obama’s got food stamps.

Most suburbanites are not armed. Don't bet on that my friend. In my little neighborhood we can whistle up a squad of 12 very heavily armed people in about ten minutes. And the cops can only suppress what they know about. Freepmail me if you'd like details on how we did it.
