CORONA West Faces "Social Bomb" As Pandemic Sparks Unrest Among Poorest

I posted this on a different thread, but I think it especially bears repeating on this one:

The idea of police arresting people for violating the emergency no-gathering laws is ludicrous. Jurisdictions around the country are already releasing inmates prematurely due to the virus. Additionally, lots of cops around the country are getting infected. No cop in his or her right mind wants any more contact with the public than is absolutely necessary.

The criminals are already starting to understand this and soon I expect this country to be a criminal's Disneyland, as the police are less and less willing to respond to anything less than, say, a mass murder!

Everyone needs to take personal responsibility for their own security. I know that this probably doesn't apply to many of our board members, but there are huge numbers of middle class and wealthy people in the US who don't own firearms (much less know how to use them) and pay an alarm company to monitor their residences. They'll hang onto their little panic buttons like an African witchdoctor's fetish and expect an immediate police response to save them when they press the little button.

Guess what, sunshine. The cavalry ain't coming.

Unfortunately there are several threads here on TB2K with people advocating this very thing. All it proves is that you cannot trust people, especially those that supposedly believe in the constitution here on the internet. Because more than like they will be the first people to step up and deny you your rights in favor of their emotions.

Never let someone else dictate to you what your rights are, because if you don't claim and act on them, you can bet someone else will strip them from you.

Thanks Doc1 I know you're right.

Around here though it's like, Hey can you hang around for like 20 minutes, 911 says it'll be that long before the cops can get here. They're entering your GPS coordinates now.

On page one we were talking about shiny metals, and plastic still being in use online.

That would be a yeah, so long as the stuff is deliverable, or in stock. Just tried to order some non-essentials, sort of, online out of stock, out of stock, out of stock.

Wonder if it had of been in stock if I had a EBT card?

Man, having a bank account full of money and no way to spend it, sucks. Guess I'll go watch Gunsmoke.

Just saw a brief documentary of conditions in high-rise ghetto housing complexes in inner cities. Older folks there have no smart phones or internet access and were pretty much clueless about COVID-19, although management did deign to tape up near the management office a few flyers notifying them about the pandemic.

Only one of the two elevators in the featured high-rise worked, so folks had to jam themselves into the remaining working elevator to get to their upper floors of residence. No 6 feet of distance there; not even 6 inches!

As a result, the documentary maker concluded that these high-rise housing complexes will be hard hit with COVID-19 cases once a few residents get exposed to the virus. So any problem that might be caused by welfare-dependent ghetto high-rise denizens will most likely get nipped in the bud by COVID-19.

What could be a problem here in the PNW is the anarchists from Eugene, OR, breaking store-front windows and rioting in the downtowns of major cities like Portland and Seattle. They did just that in the past to protest the convening of the WTO globalists back in the Fall of '99, so the downtown stores and coffee shops know the drill: Expect these idiots to break some glass if store-front windows are not boarded up.

The Corona planned demic has the ZUSA,
and the entire world, now running in uncharted waters.

Will there be a way to stop the destruction,
or will it just continue to increase until the last thread
that holds societies together, especially in the ZUSA,
is torn asunder?

It will be like Christmas, as the major metro area retailers are hit,
and cleaned out, and due to Corona, that will be it for those stores.
The savages will then have only the suburban areas,
which for the most part in the past, have escaped the riots
and destruction.

What is now a part of life in your average inter-city
ghetto hellhole, will come to the mostly White suburban
areas with a vengeance.

What happens when the savages do a home invasion
on the wrong home, and they get deaded?

Because of Corona, absolute hell is coming to the ZUSA,
absolute hell. All you can do is be armed up, trained up,
and tribed up, as best you can.

Please be safe everyone.

Regards to all.

Please turn in all your term papers today as the events, associated with your thesis' are about to proof.


Not sure how this citing of religion works, but since you bring it up I'd ask if you ever heard Wilkerson's vision for America? Takes the military a year to regain control of the masses. 400 million+ guns? Hell of a shoot out.

Now, the imaginary numbers and all the predictions surrounding, what will happen in a crisis that leads to civil unrest, are about to go live- This week. The experiment has been fully funded and the players are ready.
All the panic buying for the apocalypse started two ta three weeks ago, for the Wokesters; Those on a limited budget, have already gone through the purchases and now the stores are looking increasingly thin on the shelves. Just the deplorable's left for purchase.

I know some people, as I'm sure many here do, I know some people and can only imagine the anxiety they are experiencing at this time knowing they had ample opportunity to prepare for something like this but- The boat, or worse yet- That'll never happen.

Fox.

oh yes - I'm well aware of Wilkerson's vision(s). there's nothing pretty ahead of us.

I too have some folks - unfortunately family - who laughed at suggestions to prep up for possible tough times ahead. the suggestions were met with ridicule and scorn for years. I take no joy in the certainty of knowing that they are going to be in very bad circumstances sooner than later - grocery wise in particular. the one exception to that would be my sister and her milque toast husband. BOTH are incredibly rabid anti gunners. I'd almost bet my soul to a doughnut hole they are deeply regretting that position now. wait till the chimps come pouring out of the deep south side of YOUNGSTOWN and run through her gated community. I can see them now standing on the front porch exercising their prime defensive tactic:

"hey friends! don't you remember us from all the ANTIFA and BLM marches we attended?

Those high rise nightmares are not how most section 8 and other assisted living is. In fact, here in Tampa many live in nice homes in subdivisions or in decent multifamily units such as duplexes, triplexes, quads. Some live in apartment complexes but only complexes that can pass CGI inspections (that's a company that contracts with Tampa Housing Authority to do inspections. The city doesn't really own section 8 properties any longer.

The only place you will find those high rise nightmares are where section 8 housing is still owned by the city like in NYC, Chicago, etc. Most places don't operate like that these days.

Finally not a lurker!
And since the 'truly needy' all have cell phones and cable packages I can't afford the media will stir those flames including successful (to us at least) acts of self defense. We all know how that will be portrayed and the rioters won't be smart enough to take the hint that they could be the next to mistakenly riot in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Same here. Have to admit there is a certain little impish part of my conscious that's begging me to call them and ask; "How does it feel to be a prepper and homeschooler?". So far I've managed to restrain myself.

as have I OGM - but its hard as hell. PARTICULARLY the anti gun attitude. the milqe toast's favorite phrase:
"only the military needs to have machine guns"
it was all I could do to keep myself from bitch slapping him across the room . . .

That was my instant thought! Damned few in the "neighborhoods" they are discussing ever had a job in the first place! If they riot, it's only because they think the cops are busy elsewhere (or will be reluctant to engage, either due to orders or concerns about the virus), and they see the opportunity for "free stuff".

It will be because they are being paid to riot. The Dem Mayors will be encouraging it.

Your restraint is admirable.

I asked one of the elder liberals in the family who was going to protect him? He said the police. I laughed and walked away. Had to. Later he allowed as he might consider getting a gun for home protection.

There are people in this world who just shouldn't have a gun. IMHO he's one. He has the palsey so bad he's probably more likely to shoot himself in the foot than hit a home invader.

I disagree with the article as it pertains to the US (I can’t speak for Europe), the middle class in the US has been arming itself quite rapidly, and the political patience for any societal chaos is going to be very minimal if at all, if the specific neighborhoods become chaotic, and they try to spread stupidity, it will be met with cold hard steel. My prediction is more citizens will be trained and incorporated into volunteer police units or reserve units for regional law and order as more and more possibly become sick. This would be very different in NY or California, but especially in the South.

110% - there will be NO patience for it . . . NONE WHAT SO EVER
