Central FL update: Spikes Tactical (based in Apopka FL) looted last night. MANY AR's stolen. They are hiring a private security force of former operators since they did not penetrate one of the large holding areas and there is still a bunch left to steal.
There is another large group of former SWAT, special forces, military and other trained people who joined up to form a little militia with significant arms who are going to be standing in the area, out of sight, ready if things turn to looting. This is not going down here like in other places.
An "Organizer" of the "Event" tonight was just at Walmart buying up all of the bottles of water, but wanted the nice throwable 8 oz size convenient for throwing.
Several of my former co workers are gearing up to baby sit some downtown businesses for the planned riots tonight and tomorrow. I have substantial armor, 6 radios, and "Enough" ammo. Since you can never have to much ammo, "Enough" is the goal.
The cops are just now being told to show up tonight, no plan, no gear, no riot control training, nothing. My son is a detective and was told to show up in uniform, he is bring his own armor, AR and gas mask but he will be the only one. I will be close to him and he will have a radio to talk to mine so I can come take care of things if he gets over run.
