Meanwhile, in my corner of suburbia

Here in the Cincinnati burbs all the Walmarts and other big boxes have closed down because of threats. Law enforcement is thick. Word on the street is it's Antifa but I don't necessarily believe it.
What I do believe is that tonight is the night that somebody, possibly many somebodies, get killed.

It's time to start killing them.
Not that I have an opinion on this (yet), but hasn't looting been a "shoot on sight" offense for a while? It was during Katrina when Blanco ordered the National Guard to "shoot and kill" looters.

Wow - hope everybody on this forum board who is infected by this stays safe and sane!!!

Looks like things are about to get much more polite around there.

the vast majority of progressives have never had to make a single sacrifice to believe what they believe and say what they say. It has always in fact been the path of least social resistance and therefore the greatest self-interest. Events like this will shake the tree and some folk will fall out of it.
The only hope the left has is to continue to peddle the idea that all the racism and thus all the rioting is the right's fault. Their true believing base believes that, but I daresay most people don't buy that.

Damn skippy.

Problem is, there's not a lot left to buy right now. And worse, ammo (especially in certain calibers) is scarce and getting expensive.

I checked a couple of on-line dealers I've used in the past. Typical handgun prices are jacked by $150-$200/gun in defensive calibers.

Back in 1968, Chicago had some pretty severe riots. Little Italy is on the near West side of the city right next surrounded on two sides by very distinctively different communities. Many stores and businesses were burned and vandalized. Little Italy's shops and businesses did not suffer the same fate as other businesses. The demarcation line was quite distinct. It was understood that crossing the line would not be acceptable In the early 1970s I lived in a building with the Sicilian organization on the first floor. Never had to worry about anything.

You saw the pictures I posted from D4? The ones with the local gangs setting up barriers to keep people out?

But, but, but....those people are going to use violence, possibly deadly force to keep their homes and businesses safe. My God, they may even go Korean on them!
** Quelle horreur!!!**
