I believe most of you guys know I live in the NY metro area
As I type this I can look out my bedroom window and see the NYC skyline. Since 911 I have often thought if this country will go down the path of complete civil unrest.. You guys live in just about every state in the union and I wanted to ask if you think civil unrest will ever happen?? What signs would show before it happens?? What area`s would it happen first?? Would they be the same places where the riots of the 60`s and 70`s??

I think it's already happening in the major urban areas. Rampaging groups of teens, gangs and crime. However, I believe the feces will start when the pushback comes from good citizens.

I remember when a National Guard

the "teenagers" are out of school and running in gangs in one urban area I know of.
Sister of a friend was accosted and robbed and beaten recently by these young"teenagers" for laughs in Baltimore. Liberals are starting to ask how to be armed, but I tell them you voted for these waiting periods so now you will have to wait. Think next time if you have a chance.

Look at the heavy "Blue" areas, like where you live!

If goods and materials are truly cut off all sorts of chaos would ensue. Examples of Socialism break down of late are perfect blueprints of what happens. You see how the Mayors and Gov. are reacting in this "soft" national emergency. I'm also certain in a serious uprising that outside the nation resources would be utilized to control. That goes exponential for a socialist/leftist bias in political control.

Definitely the metro blue areas first. Around here if mobs or gangs eventually ventured out to loot the less populated areas in raids, that would be a concern. Militias would stack hoodlums. More actually dispose of the evidence. It would take some organization but religious bodies would be a good starting rally point. Police and National Guard are doing to do exactly what they are ordered to perform, period. Have no delusions, there is some form of mental detachment. Remember everything you say, or do outside, is likely recorded by something somewhere in real time. Just a fact, not paranoia.

Truth is no one knows but it is a good time to give consideration. What good is prepping if someone take it from you? For personal use or distribution! All the guns and ammo won't do you much good if you go outside to defend your property and a drone takes you right out from a mile and a half away because they see you have a weapon. You need a small stockpile to defend your home and family, a month's worth of food and supplies sure is a good idea. But don't tell anyone!

In the South most folks will help each other (most but not all) if you act half way decent. Willing to pitch in and help too. I'd not want to be anywhere a city area myself.

I saw on a web page a fellow showing a pictorial how to "commandeer" a Hum-vee. How to start it for civilians, so they know. LOL

Jeez

coming election. If Trump wins again the Dems will cause most of it with the Antifa and any other radical means they have at their disposal. If the Dems win they will immediately start to impose gun control and other laws to take away our rights. Free people won't allow that. And it will go downhill from there.

Another thing that will really start it is if our power grid fails due to terrorist groups. If that happens then the real civil unrest will start. That is when the shit will hit the fan. That is when you will either be glad you bought the guns and ammo or will wish you had. If you don't have enough freeze dried food set aside to last you several months to a year then you may not survive the coming crunch.

The millennials will go first. Many will commit suicide if their smart phones don't work and they can't get on facebook to ask what to do. They are so dependent upon their phones that the real world is totally UNREAL to them.

People that don't have, that is the people that never thought this would happen, will decide to take it from their neighbor. That will cause even more bloodshed. If it happens in cold weather it will be even worse. Those that have fireplaces (folks that live out in the county) will manage whereas the city people will die off like flies. With the power grid down people in hospitals, nursing homes etc will be next to go when the gas operated emergency lighting and heating run out of fuel. A while back I bought a wood cook stove from a company in Knoxville Tennessee that has been making them for 300 years. We have a well and I switched it from all electric to a standby manual pump.

People in outlying areas that stocked up will manage if they are smart. Stay home and let the bad guys come to them. Don't go out. If you have teen aged kids, teach them and your wife to use an AR-15. The prices a few months ago had dropped drastically on AR-15s so that would have been the time to buy an extra one or two. One for every member of the family is perfect. And a decent supply of ammo. Shotguns are good too. A 20 gauge for the kids and a wife and a 12 gauge for you.

A good dog is worth it's way in gold. My driveway is 65 yards long and if a car pulls in, even if just to turn around, my dogs go ape shit. You can't be awake 24 hours a day but a dog is alert that full 24 hours.

Next time you are in Home Depot or any good hardware store, pick up a Hav-A-Hart trap. If food gets low you can always trap a rabbit or a cat. I know eating a cat sounds bizarre but mountain lion is some of the best eating there is and a stray cat can't be much different. And there are almost always stray cats roaming around. A good wood trap works great too. I have built a lot of them thru the years and they work fine for rabbits and such and are easy to build.

There are a couple hundred things I could post here as I have been thinking about what would happen if...
But maybe I will post a little here and there between now and the election.

wow gary, you covered it all. Stuff I never thought about

then the feces will hit the fan. Like waterboy, I think that at some point neighbors, churches etc will band together and take care of things. Scary times, stay close to the Good Lord Jesus.

If the stores actually ran out of food or if the EBT cards run dry for more than a day or so stand by for heavy rolls.

Any major disruption of the supply chain....

Emailing you now.
