Rioting is a frequent phenomenon, complete with a professional traveling cadre that moves into a city when a spark ignites anger – as most recently happened in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota. (snip) Poor Blacks burning their own neighborhoods hurts the (nonprofessional) rioters and their families and is a burden that does not affect most people. It also doesn’t win a lot of friends among the supposedly oppressed people the itinerant professional rioters seek to lead.
Now, we are seeing signs that the urge to riot will be directed from above at the affluent and comfortable, a property destruction analog of the slogan “Eat the rich”

Citizens who have worked hard their entire lives are not going to surrender to the mob.

When they want it to stop they will stop releasing these criminals and actually prosecute them.

Here's the deal. The affluent have, in most cases, more connections and influence than entire poor neighborhoods. And politicians know who butters their bread. If the politicians and police won't do their jobs, then private security companies will.
Going after wealthy communities will get nowhere. Now, middle class neighborhoods are a different story. In middle class neighborhoods, the citizens will take security matters into their own hands.
There is a reason the poor neighborhoods are targeted. They are easy targets where the perps can easily melt into the neighborhood. These are also the neighborhoods where the citizens are less likely to cooperate with law enforcement.

There's a lesson here - voting in leftists makes you less safe. The wealthy city neighborhoods are vulnerable when their government appeases the mob.

If these idiots try attacking the neighborhood where my sister lives, they won't be returning home. There are multi million dollar properties where she lives, which mean they have the money to buy a lot of guns. Doing inventory in my brother in laws house, turned up two fully automatic weapons along with several M4's a variety of shotguns and pistols. He has the tax stamps and paper work to own those automatic weapons. His neighbor is also armed to the teeth. He owns a trucking company, and while he's older, he's as tough as nails, as is his wife.

They are warming up and booking hotel rooms in Maricopa County now. The buses are on the way ahead of the vote audit the the Democrats are in panic mood about. Audit begins April 22. Riots to follow.

We now have a subculture of lawlessness. You’ll notice how they attack women and the elderly. They are bullies to the weak. It will be a totally different story in the burbs. Yes, there is more police support but we also have the means to defend our family p, our neighbors, and our property. Gun owners will never be victims of scum.

it is definitely a different story here in the suburbs, even in Minneapolis. Yesterday, some joker decided to carjack and shoot at police in my suburb and unlike Minneapolis where they don't do anything he was shot dead. We are armed in our homes, and the police are less forgiving here. it helps that the perp was white, but still, they shoot to kill here and we are ready for them if they come.

They are so cute at that age aren't they?
For all our bravado about our guns don't forget what happens when you defend yourself and your property. I still will but I have no delusions that it will happen more than once before the mob locks me up.

I do not live in an affluent neighborhood so I suppose I need not worry, but my neighborhood is white and middle income with some scattered rich folks among us.
I don't know and cannot speak for others , but if anyone tries to destroy my home that i have worked hard for for 78 years, somebody is going to get hurt. It may be me, but I am going to take some down with me.

Hence, they want to "defund the police" who are the only thing standing between the hordes and civilization.

though only in non-democrat neighborhoods. we would do well to heed the words of maxine waters - there are times when she does tell the truth and this is one of them.

Well, if they start trying to burn wealthy neighborhoods, they may find that there is more forceful resistance from the home owners.
Looking at that set of mug shots, all of those thugs look like folks that nobody would ever want around their neighborhood.
I did some canoeing in some of those downtown lakes about 15-20 years ago, very nice places, nice homes along the shore. I wonder if the folks there will just put up with these violent crazies burning their neighborhoods? Seems likely to be some serious pushback from police and from home owners, too.

Folks who have been watching the increasing lawlessness are better prepared than those who get their news from the MSM. As another poster said, he won't be dialing 9-11 when he needs cops. They'll be so busy they probably can't even answer, much less help you.

Looking at those mug shots, one thing jumps out - There seem to be a whole lot of fat white chicks. Wonder what the common thread is amongst these Hershey fed heifers driving them to become violent rioters? Inquiring minds want to know.

#26, stupidity is one, and ease of being emotionally brainwashed by a bunch of leftist lies. And probably anger at not having many men interested in them.

FTA: "Police make white people feel safe from minorities..."
I suspect that some folks will find out that the situation is quite the opposite once the riot locations change.

If Antifa goons want martyrdom by attacking citizens' homes, said martyrdom can probably be arranged, arriving in vital areas above the speed of sound. Without means of self defense or law enforcement, there will be nothing to prevent squatters from taking residences and possessions. The communist anarchists can do as they please. What's yours is theirs. Unless you prevent them from taking it by breaking them, body and spirit. If they want to behave as rioting, thieving murdering hooligans, threatening neighborhoods, they take the greatest risk of all. It won't be worth it, unless GSWs are their thang.
Paladin, Paladin, where do you roam?

Texas has Open Carry, but I call this the summer of the windbreaker. Walking the dogs, walking the neighborhood, will always be wearing the windbreaker w extra mags.

I agree with #26. When you look at the mug shots of the so-called Antifa activists who were arrested and booked, it is clear that about half were pretty unattractive white women who looked to be mucho unhappy in their private lives. Those are the same class of leftist and liberal Democrat women who end up with kids who have no fathers, or who had fathers who ran for the hills.
