And This is How Civil Wars Begin....

Holy smokes. Ramairthree won the thread.

I been doing all that for years solely from being raised on a farm as a youth when going to town was actually like a super big deal and done once a month.

The only place I have split from him is that I have an attack cat. But he is not to be trifled with. He has his own gun and built in night vision. Make no sudden movements. He grew up on the streets and doesn't trust people at all.

The only ones that are actually engaging in mass murder and violence are the left. Remember when the unhinged leftist was shooting congressmen at the baseball field? Or when the psychotic pussy hat wearing leftist was shooting at concert goers in Vegas? When that leftist anti-Trump national socialist shot up a Synagogue? No one is advocating for violence you shill- other than your unhinged leftist elected officials and their minions who are out there attacking people based on their political views. Maybe tell your handlers that they need to focus on the actual people engaging in violence rather than trying to find people who are simply watching this happen and are worried of what this kind of violence could spiral into.

You should stop with the insulting talk, Mr. Emotional.

I think it is great how you convert every psychopath with a gun into an honorary Democrat. Bravo. Can also you turn bacon into health with a wave of your hand? I hear the next Democratic National Convention is going to be called "Unite the Right", since everyone who claims to be right leaning are actually super-secret spy leftists!

So far all the violence has been from the left, you and your kind are sick.

I imagine the entirety of the "right" must be you and three guys you play cards with.


It is weird enough having a conversation with someone like you, but it is really shocking to imagine that you probably have access to the outside world.

Well, what to do about it when it starts is the whole barn door thing.

In case any thing bad happens, financial, war, natural, etc. there are maybe a dozen things you can do to be ready.
I won’t go onto serious detail. Maybe some follow on posts can discuss that.

1- be in shape. I hike with the dog a few miles once or twice a day. But I eat like a teenager too many days and skip workouts too many days. My IWB belt is on hole four out of five when not carrying. I need to get back on track. I’m not saying you need to be a fitness model, but if your are a 300 pound diabetic your days are numbered once the comfy security blanket goes away. At fifty and in the worse and weakest shape of my life I can bench 275, jog a few miles, sprint and climb under or through a split rail fence, etc. All is for naught if you are a wreck physically.

2- don’t live in the city or the burbs. You are not immune even in the most remote rural area, but you have time, density, and distance in your favor.

3- know your neighbors. I’m not saying they have to be your closest family or anything. But if you are at take care of each other’s dogs, horses, etc. while out of town and cordial level, borrow the chainsaw or tractor for a day, it makes you us against them when the hordes are leaving the cities.

4- have some food and water on hand. A couple hundred bucks can have a few months of decades long shelf life stuff on hand. Even if you never use it what’s twenty bucks a year wasted?

5- have a generator and fuel on hand. And a way to get by without power. Even with a pond, stream, well, I need to run the well pump. Hurricanes, snow storms, downed trees, and such, it’s not like you will never use it.

6- have some guns, Ammo, knives, axes, lights, lanterns, etc. on hand. If you haven’t been converting to rechargeable batteries, do it. Glock, Beretta, AR, and AK pattern is out there in droves. Have at it. Get those rookie numbers up in your ammo Fort.

7- know how to use your guns, ammo, generator, prep food.

8- have a well treated and trained large dog or two that loves you and will die for you and your family.

9- have stuff in your car to get home. A good spare, light, gun, axe, machete, etc.

10- have stuff in your wife and kids cars so they can get home. And that they know what to do with it.

11- have family hobbies that may pan out in hard times. Hiking, camping, hunting, fishing, etc.

12- grow older. The thought of a life sentence or dirt nap won’t seem so bad.

Excellent post!

The more I think on it, a Civil 'War' is kind of lame. Like, I seriously doubt there will be a meeting on the field in Fed Blue and Rebel Gray anytime ever again.

But civil unrest happens like weekly and doesnt seem to be waning...

And since no one can play nice, the playground is closed for a while.

I am re-opening the thread. Please pay attention to the following:

1. You are likely all over the age of 18. Please show a corresponding level of maturity.

2. If someone gets out of hand, then use the Report Post button. This tit for tat stuff is schoolyard behavior, and not what grown-ups do.
