I have heard and if you checked the times of my posts you would see I spoke about police and African Americans the day before Charlotte . . .
Myself I do not follow the mass media so I only know what I can find from non propaganda sources , and have not looked real hard at those ! ! !
I recall the billionaire with to much stupid money outfitted his entire skyscraper penthouse with armored bullet proof windows so he could enjoy watching the next LA riots...
Seriously so people . . . They should try and think "Am I part of the problem or part of the solution ?" ; but they do not think , except ' about money ' ! ! !
They forget the ' First Rule About Money ' ; money does not care what sort of dirt-bag it attracts . . .
I do follow your posts, my point is hope is not a plan. You have EDC because you are prepared. Once you are able to, you should avail yourself of the tools that will allow you to protect you and yours. Right now, the reports I have been getting from that area are that people are being hunted down and beaten for being the wrong race. The media is not reporting that as to not alarm folks. In the end, I have always been about the preservation of human life and though I do not know you in person, I have been reading your writings for long enough to know a lot about you. I would hate for you to be in a position where you could not defend yourself.
I completely understand what you are saying and luckily I live in a nice area. I recall homeowners having to defend there properties for days after extreme weather events ! ! ! And; yes people must be prepared and able to defend themselves , I like people ...
I truly do like people but I am also a realist , this planet can only sustain 5 billion people long term ; so if things really start to go wrong in society. I am perfectly prepared to give the planet an hand and to permanently remove lots and lots of people if necessary ; even if it means TWO BILLION ; )
Maybe you can understand that thought process : )
