There is a lot of talk by 60's-70's style radicals and their ilk that there will be riots during Summer 2012. Money was spent by liberals, lawyers and leftists to support the fleabags who may be better known as "O" (to contrast to "W"). So if the "O" or some other movement turns to violent riots what do you do?
-
I don't foresee that happening in my small town so I would just continue to avoid large cities, and let them burn themselves out.
However those who can't do that might find it an opportunity to whack a few of the leaders.
-
Do the same as I do now: Remain observant of my surroundings; check out the areas I need to go to; adjust plans if needed; and if I find my self in danger - stop the threat.
If the riots come and they are an expanded version of the "Occupy Wall Street" demonstrations we have seen, the government are going to find out how many people really are "preppers." Responsible citizens will hunker down and conduct their lives in a carefully planned manor, and Darwin will take care of the rest.

Some of the spokesmen for the radicals have said blood will flow down the street.

Being in suburbia, outside major S. Florida cities, my "hood" is families, and old folks....Most are sheeple, just living their lives not wanting to be bothered.
I don't anticipate that level of lawlessness coming to my area. HOWEVER, like the Def-Con levels the gov't uses, mine will be adjusted accordingly.
The LA Riots went on for three/four days. If that's the case, and it stays in the cities, I'll be fine where I am. If it should escalate to something more widespread, violent outcroppings of bandits, and drive by gangs, marauding thugs looking for opportunities in the burbs....
Well, they picked the wrong house, if they choose mine. I'll call 911 to come and get the carcass's out of my yard. Same as my post hurricane exp. in coastal NC. I already have my neighbor behind me to cover my rear, and three houses down, a C&R collector, and handloader to cover my left flank.
I even saved my sign.

The only blood flowing down the streets will be theirs. Cause they can't shoot, they only can spray and pray. If they throw Mazoltov cocktails, I'll have a perimeter established beyond throwing distance, and if Def-Con 1 is reached...it's Katy bar the door.....
F them....

If this is the best they can do? I got a sling shot with ball bearings to shoo them away...BUT

I think I saw Batman deep six this guy in the Batman Returns movie I saw last night, the one with Michelle Pfeiffer in PVC vinyl.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm - Michelle Pfeiffer in PVC vinyl . . . . . . . . . . . .
Sorry, drifted off there. ::)
I voted to bring marshmallows. Of course it will not be just marshmallows, I will be suitably prepared for any other eventualities as well. Sadly, I am one of those that believes we have gone so far, there is no going back. So if part of it burns down, so be it, I can live with that. Maybe it will send a message to the Occupy asswipes that they are not wanted, liked, needed or tolerated any further.
Fargo has had an influx of folks from out of state, many looking for work and willing to work hard. But as I have noted previously, we have also had a jump in crime due to the undesirables who have moved here as well. So if it all goes bad, I fear the the liberals in Fargo (and there are a lot) will have created an environment where things will burn here as well.

Here's a thought boys and girls:
Pampers boy comes down the street with the little gun and an orange muzzle. He comes at you and ignores your commands to leave you alone. What do you do?
Anybody ever stop to think about the silliness of the law that says toys must be distinguished with no less than an orange muzzle so cops don't shoot people with toys? Take my "space gun" as some have called it, and dip the compensator in dayglo paint: How many dead cops before the realize it ain't a toy?

Maybe we just coat them all in blue - The blue training gun has become so common that we should all feel safe around it shouldn't we?

........Pampers boy comes down the street with the little gun and an orange muzzle. He comes at you and ignores your commands to leave you alone. What do you do?
........
I'm thinking feed him his own pampers. I'm 55, but I think I can take him. After he's finished eating his pampers, maybe help him wipe off his face with asphalt.
I learned the asphalt thing from a dear friend who was killed head-on by a drunk driver. He had a bigmouth call him names and challenge and when the challenge was accepted pull a shotgun from the car and threaten him with the shotgun then put it back in the car.....oops. ;D Asphalt leaves a "tatoo" when it gets under the skin.

I agree with M58 on being aware of your surroundings. Keep a firearm and extra mags handy at all times. A .45 ACP round can make a clown in diapers perform new and interesting tricks.

I have to say Pampers boy scares me worse than the immigrant shit kickers.

So have some members of this board who won't be be named (Tom, sorry dude but I got a plea bargain ;D). Anyway, its just hot air. If its not, well, they'll run out of targets before I run out of ammo. In event of riot, my "safe distance" is about fifty yards. If you're wearing a diaper, we'll call it 100 and no Florida jury will convict me. ;D

That may be,( IIRC I said it SHOULD, but won't because American Idol is on ) but on the other my record of inciting disruptive wide spread protest is not what it could. COUGH ows COUGH
-
If there are massive riots this summer it will NOT help BHO get reelected and only help wake up the US of A to the real world threats we face. More guns would be sold, more ammo would be sold and more people would start seeking training out.
Oh and the mall ninjas would start sneaking around and get themselves killed... ::)
Its a Win-Win-Win except for the ammo shortages.
-
Get your own out of the large cities, and watch them burn. Do what you have to do to protect yourself. Do not become a victim, and don't let the government try to tell you something is for the greater good. They WILL use something like this as an excuse to forcefully take your guns, your food, fuel and anything else they deem dangerous. (Your Person)

The BO administration could very easily use a "long hot summer" as a pretext for martial law in some form that could interfere with elections.

How scary is it that we can say something like that and not be totally unrealistic?
My optomistic crystal ball shows some minor skirmishes with larger than normal voting irregularities in larger metro areas and the defeat of BHO come November that carries the Senate and House back to Republican control.

Seriously? With the current crop of GOP candidates? Lets assume BO is an evil bastard and is willing to this. Lets go one step further and assume he has the infrastructure to make a solid go of it. Fine. What are the odds of him succeeding? Look again at Mitt, Newt et. al.. Would you say that any on of them have a better than fifty percent chance of winning a fre election? Factor in the average level of incumbent advantage and voter apathy, and I'd say even the evil version of BO would be better advised to play it straight. His odds of winning are simply better. I mean who here has donated money to Mitt or Newt? Who's going to man a phone bank or go door to door? Crickets.

The Constitution is in reckless disregard. Suspending the elections would be equivalent to a TKO.

Absolutely correct, Rastus. However, suspending the Constitution is almost completely unnecessary at this point. Given the illegal actions of most of the Presidents over the past 50 years, but especially with bho, all they need to do is take action, like trump up a security claim to put off the elections. Who will stop them? And how? No one has made a serious attempt to stop anything that has been happening since FDR.
Look at all of the crap they have done over the past 3 years in particular, all of the really bad laws and regulations (i.e., clearly infringing on freedoms and liberties if not actually un-constitutional) and no one even tries to file a lawsuit to stop them. Look at the blatant take-over of GM, the SOPA law being considered, the NDAA, Obamacare, Eric Holder's criminal behavior, the czars, the "authority" to kill US citizens without anything even remotely approaching due process, the regulations, the recess appointments when Congress is not actually in recess, the list goes on and on and is really huge at this point.
All of these laws, regulations and actions (i.e., precedents) are pieces to a huge puzzle, and one day we will find out that this clause from this law plus that clause from that law, and 47 clauses from 47 other laws all combine into meaning that the US Constitution is nothing more than an antique display in DC - unless they decide to secure it out of sight "for safe keeping, there's been a terrorist threat ya know".
Use the frog in heated water metaphor, or refer to Niemoeller's "They came for them" speech, whatever - the fact is we are well down the slippery slope, damn near the bottom IMHO, and no one is doing a damn thing to stop it. No one!
-

As usual it will be the Dems. Both doing the accusing and the ones perpetrating it.

Don't worry Ping, I'm there for you. ;D Hell, depending on how old you are, its not a problem. I mean speaking honestly, and leaving ideology aside, the GOP has a habit of nominating yahoos that are on a par with Kerry (Hell, I think he and Mitt were separated at birth, or at least have the same hairdresser in Boston). ::) I mean seriously, they haven't given us someone to vote FOR since 1992.

Of course I do, that's why I keep posting that you need to get used to the idea of voting for the RINO POS.
But until then we need to try to fight the system and get some one, any one, else nominated.
I probably should have said, "until the Convention".

Much better, and I agree 100%. Santorum is the only one that has stayed in and not stepped in it too much. But Newt and Perry would still be preferable to Mitt IMHO. Any one have a dark horse they think could pop up? Sarah Palin ;D
-
Believe it or not, I would say Ron Paul is a possible.
He has had surprisingly solid finishes in Iowa and NH.
If he can maintain 2nd place when Mitt starts sagging in the South and West he may be a viable candidate.
I'd rather see him than Mitt (rhymes with sh!t )
Even if I don't agree with his FP it would be fun to see the establishment suck wind and go bug house ;D

Welcome in. Yes, both parties are a problem.

I think it is time to revisit this poll/topic. After the tragic shooting in Florida, can there be doubt in anyone's mind that politicians and community organizers are attempting to stir up emotions for their own selfish purposes? Damn the facts in the case, it is obviously more important to use this shooting to galvanize people for someone else's nefarious purposes.
I think it is going to be a long hot summer and that people will suffer and people will die in street riot conflicts arising from the discontent and hate stirred up by the Marxist policitians and organizers.
I suppose that people who love God and country, people who work or that would work if they could find a job in the purposely crashed economy will be the bad guys here. So many hidden agendas out there...does BHO want to be crowned Dear Leader for life....if people are rioting in the streets will that be held over the head of the Supreme Court when they decide the BHO's government health grab bill....will this be used to spawn or prelude mass riots to bring down the government? The rhetoric and hot public emotions are already trying to erase gun rights. What else will be advanced if there is rioting and injury/death in the streets.
There is a lot of talk by 60's-70's style radicals and their ilk that there will be riots during Summer 2012. Money was spent by liberals, lawyers and leftists to support the fleabags who may be better known as "O" (to contrast to "W"). So if the "O" or some other movement turns to violent riots what do you do?
-
Class warfare. Occupy groups in the cities. A President that has no regard for the Constitution.....God help us all.
-
If/When it happens. The masses of sheeple, uninformed, unarmed, and unprepared, that are having their Dancing With The Stars show interrupted, will cry out:
Make it Stop! Please Make It Stop!!!!!
That's exactly what the radicals on the Left want....Than the hammer will fall. Whether SWAT Teams, NG Troops, or the military, the .Gov will come crashing down to restore order.
Curfews, rationing, Martial Law, gun seizures, whatever, think Hurricane Katrina on a National Level. Mostly in large urban areas, and big cities, not so much in the rural areas, but even they will not be exempt.
Once those freedoms have been "taken", for the children, good luck getting them back.
The line in the sand will be drawn. There will be a choice to make.
"If you love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen."

And so the eight hundred thousand are in...and don't think they won't somehow vote. Never underestimate how low the low lifes are that the politicians put in place to guard the fidelity of the vote (not).
We're finally going to get some warm temperatures coming in this week to really kick off summer. The republicans had better stand for something with the US Attorney General who is a complete liar and fraud. Watch for a diversion from the streets to keep it out of the news if they get hot and heavy on Holder.
-
They are supposed to hold the Contempt of Congress vote on Holder today.
If it were me, I would involve Issa and/ or Grassley in some sort of scandal of their own to divert attention and discredit my accusers.
Since it has long been a standard socialist tactic I don't understand how they have missed it.

Why bother hassling Issa at this point?
Obama just used executive privilege to bury the Fast and Furious documents!

Won't happen.
If anything happens, it won't be total melt-down. It will be like the OWS protests. Look for trouble in certain cities and much less in others. LA, Seattle, NY, Atlanta-- large cities that are decided liberal will be where the worst of it is. New Orleans. They can't get anything right there. Always localized. Remember the Watts Riots? What happened elsewhere? Nada. After the Rodney King verdicts (first time)? Trouble in small areas. I really wanted to see the chick calling for the rioters to leave their black neighborhood head into the rich white neighborhood... imagine the look on the face of the mob when they try to scale or force down the gate only to have someone's brains splattered by a hunting rifle fired from the house.
Less trouble in conservative cities and states.
Neighborhoods ban together to protect their neighborhoods- expect nice subdivisions to protect themselves. Expect a few anti-capitalist racists to say let's go take some back from this or that- and get a smack down when they do.
Expect the ghettos and barrios to burn. Expect me not to care.

Watts isn't a very good example since it was an isolated incident with no nation wide effect.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watts_Riots
Abetter example would be the summer of 1968 since several of the same factors are in play.
Racial division,
Presidential election,
large scale public dissatisfaction with Washington,
We even have a war for the "appeasers" to complain about.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:1968_riots
It doesn't really change your point though, blacks and the OWS crowd will burn their own neighborhoods and expect the tax payers to rebuild them.

Watts was an example of isolation of dissatisfaction.
1968 is a better example. 8)
But, they would have technology and organization I don't believe they had in '68. Certainly not the money.
I think that when a few of the "eat the rich" make their first foray into a nice neighborhood and the anarchist get a taste of their own world without rules and find they actually are sissies relying on the restraint of society, they find they aren't so bad after all.
The weekend shooter plinking at 100 yards becomes a merciless sniper to these bozos.
I think the Governors quash it before it gets out of hand in some places. The liberal bastions burn, hears to hoping it's a little chlorine for the gene pool (as I once heard it put).

It's just to hot and dangerous what with all this global warming :P. Guess I'll just have book a trip to South Africa were they just had a nation wide snow storm the first snow since 1968 ( Won't hear about that in the lame steam media). Oh wait scratch that they're having real riots Jimmy Hoffa style riots where two scabs got hacked to death with machetes for crossing the picket line and the two police officers who responded got burned to death in their car. Funny though you only found that out at the end of the article. The article started out with how 44 strikers were killed by police RESPONDING TO THIS MAYHEM. As far as local problems I try to read the paper & keep my ear to the ground for local demonstrations. Even ones I support I'm staying clear of this close to the election. Who knows who will crash the party with emotions running so high. Take the attempted mass shooting in DC.

So far the Summer of 2012 meltdown has fizzled and the horrendous actions of a few deranged, or as MB would say BROKEN, people has only resulted in more people realizing that the Police are just not going to be there when they are needed the most. Some have taken the matter into their own hands and acquired Concealed Weapons Permits, bought new firearms and ammo or both. You could say the community agitators plans have backfired on them leaving them looking a little "too smart by half".

I agree it seems like the summer "unrest" has passed without incident. I think it has been reported that overall the liberal/progressive movement of Obama supporters is much less active this election year than in 2008. An apathy has settled in.
Two things to consider. It was a very hot summer and not too conducive to outside protests. But more importantly is that the conventions are coming up soon and it may be the leaders of what movement there is left are concentrating their efforts on Tampa.
My take is the whole thing has fizzled. oBH has been in office for 3+ years and nothing has really changed at the street level, aside from the amnesty program that was just implemented. Unemployment is still high. Confidence still low.

At the street level, lots has changed. More people are on food stamps, more people have quit looking for work, hence the lowered numbers, more people are at or below the poverty line, etc. etc. etc. Only these are not the kind of people who can (quite literally) afford to go do the whole Occupy <fill in the blank> thing.
And more than likely these days, they are also the ones who will shoot your ass if you come onto their property.
Wait for the conventions. This is less a fizzle than the quiet before the storm. The Dems will do all they can to fire up ALL of their supporters (OWS, ACORN, unions), and if there is any kind of serious trouble at the Rep convention, what with all that security, that is a harbinger for the next 2 months after that.

I am waiting for the Republican National Convention to see what the election season will look like. With V.P. Biden going to Tampa
to incite a riot attend a Democrat rally in the same city and same time as the RNC it will be a good view of what Pres. BHO has in mind for Tuesday, November 6, 2012 and beyond.
Personally, I expect that groups like Occupy Wall Street, the Black Panthers, and homosexual groups will be like annoying mosquitos at best, and could become violent. I do not know what to expect out of the Brady Campaign, because they have gotten very little public satisfaction from Pres. BHO and his ilk this term.

If it were not for the tropical storm at the same time I would expect another "Chicago 68".
High winds and torrential rains may put a damper on that though. ;D

Or the storm may completely miss the area. Nothing but some showers or even sunshine could hit. However, if there is a storm and even one Occupier gets wet it will be Bush's fault and Gov. Romney will be unfit to govern because he is "out of touch with the 99% and uncaring about their needs."

As a S. Florida resident, the hype is overrated. If I lived in MS, AL, or the Florida panhandle,....I'd watch it... After my time in coastal NC with "real" smacks from hurricanes, I won't even buy extra beer over this one...
For the OWS lack of movement,,.....the MSM didn't report the OWS group stormed a BHO office in CA. last week, or their dumb-ass plans to disrupt the conventions,....blah, blah, blah,....
I'm more concerned if BHO steals/wins the vote in Nov. and it's aftermath....

Plus real folks know just how to deal with OWS scumbags....I posted this pic earlier this summer....Retired Marine deals with an OWS protestor late Spring this year,.... ::)

Love the post TW! ;) ^^^^^^

Well, summer has come and gone without the hyped up meltdown. There's always election day and a Romney win. Something may happen then.
I'm quite a ways away from any city that will riot, but if something does come my way, it can be seen from miles away, and it wouldn't take long to organize the neighborhood for self defense purposes. Lots of guns in my area owned by decent, honest people.

Welcome Steelhawk, that's pretty much how we feel here too:

So who would have guessed the riots are occurring overseas?
The big question is are these part of a centrally planned movement? If so, who's behind them and who's supporting them?
At the present they don't seem to be aiding bHO, but if the "unrest" spreads, could the eventually be used as an excuse for martial law?

Or as an excuse to infringe on our 1st Amendment rights since all BHO can do is blame some film NOONE has seen.

From the pic it may be that he's silhouetting himself...a bad thing.
I'm just sayin'....

Noticed that too, Rastus....
Woods off in the background are so close I wouldn't be able to focus on the scope.
maybe prone on the other side of the slope at the end away from the woods, shooting over the ridge....but who knows what is off in that direction.
He needs to build a pill box with gun slots that looks like a chimney ;D ;D

If he shoots over the ridge he will be silhouetting his head and rifle.
If he slid down further he would blend more with the shingles and if he put a couple trap doors in the roof and fired from the attic he would be invisible.

Bingo. Winner.

Hillbilly armor (couple sheets of rough cut diamond plate) around the traps doors for 'bunkering'. The roof angle makes for a nice glacis effect.

Another handy tip, If you wish to survive, don't shoot through doorways and windows, they are obvious points and draw counter fire like sh!t draws flies.
Knock or cut loop holes at varying heights in the walls away from the bullet magnets positioned to give overlapping fields of fire.
And DON"T STICK THE BLOODY BARREL OUT THROUGH THE BLOODY HOLE !!!!!

Seems as though this was written this year. I suppose we were just early with our observations?

I've been saying it since 1982, and thinking it longer.
