Depends on the outcome. If it keeps people somewhat civil and no one gets hurt without a good reason then game on. If it makes things worse then stop. Sometimes you just have to try things and see what works. Failure will happen. Make the changes you think you need to make and try again.

I'm 50% "Way to fan the flames and make shit harder on lawful gun-owners then it has to be, open-carry douchebags!" 
35% "Really? REALLY?! Because the poor cops in Ferguson don't have enough to worry about?!?!?!" 
10% "Sorry you missed getting to play in a real war, bro. Newsflash: You aren't some 'leet operator in the 'Mog. Go home." 
5% "Fuck yeah! Put a little fear in those looting, racist, thug shitheads!!!" 
Does that make me conflicted? Funny.....I had the same thought progression too. - I wouldn't do the whole ' patrolling' thing. If it isn't my property or unless it belongs to friends or family I ain't protecting it with my life (cause realistically if shit goes bad that's what you're doing). |

I'd just go not as a show of force but to help out. If some 100 people came charging in with rocks or something I'd get the occupants to safety and abandon the property. Fights vs hundreds never end well.

Yea, I saw this and though "Unnecessary. Leave." It's just a PR stunt for infowars and Alex trying to instigate something to blame on another conspiracy theory. |

Apparently there's a story to the SUV breaking through that line. ***LINK*** |

So, causing property damage and spending 2 days in jail on a $10,000 bond increases your resolve? Wow, I now question all my life choices.
WHAT. THE. ACTUAL. IS. WRONG. WITH. THESE. PEOPLE?

Just to keep this going, although it should probably be put in a thread called "Late summer end of the world stuff", but has anyone been seeing the word "Shemitah" come up in conversation lately? I have, and a number of people I work with daily are starting to freak out just a little bit.

IF it's rolling like that then the Chinese are on the forefront. Their stock market just dumped 1/3 of it's value. Hundreds of billions, pffttttt....gone. I'd say something about international currency, fiscal tsunamis heading to our shores* and bankers giving the markets serious buzzcuts but I'd be called a paranoid asshat who thinks the world is a very messed up place and I should remain positive.
Oh, Mussolini where are you now? Right, next election or two? Ok, standing by.
*The big earthquake in California isn't going to be a actual one but a financial one. Learn to swim.

Yeah, a couple people who aren't stupid or anything but are religious and are susceptible to rhetorical arguments have talked about blood moons and events leading up to end times. Supposedly some bad things are going to happen in September. Might want to stock up on things with less of a focus on an actual event and more of a focus on a panic. |

Peeps be cray. The future is unknowable IMO so I just trust my G17 to see me through. Overly simple? Maybe. KISS, baby..

Supposedly some bad things are going to happen in September. Might want to stock up on things with less of a focus on an actual event and more of a focus on a panic. Heard of it, yeah. Mostly from stuff posted on some newsy sites I sometimes visit because of gun rights/political stuff on FB. Articles like this... www.inquisitr.com/2343892/wall-street-crash-2015-conspiracy-theorists-stir-mass-anxiety-over-global-stock-market-crash-after-september-13-end-of-shemitah-year/I'm not religious at all though and most of the people I know that are religious are for the most part just nominally so except some Mormon cousins/aunts/uncles in Utah. In terms of preparedness if they are prepared at all they are more focused on natural disasters, regular economic hard times and then unrest from socially entitled people (who apparently think it's okay to beat down or shoot police and believe that they won't shoot them like anyone else). Mostly I think if it is a phenomenon it's just a mechanism for the banks to screw the average worker by adding some mysticism to the mix. (I'm seriously not trying to offend anyone's religious beliefs, but it's hard to say that you genuinely think something's bullshit without just blurting it out & speaking plainly - I just believe that segments of society use people's religious beliefs against them as a means of controlling and exploiting) |

Just to quote myself on the tsunami, well, what happened on Wall St. yesterday. 3000pts in china, 1000 pts here. Wait until Q4 is over. The books look bad and quantitative easing did not help. Unless they're going to recall currency than all the lost purchasing power is lost forever. Look, this isn't glee. This is warnings. But that's why we prep. |

If the downward spiral keeps up for a few days, I'm going to call our financial advisor and put some more money INTO our IRA's. Buying cheap at that point. I did that when things went OMG!! a few years ago, and it worked out swimmingly. Markets go up, markets go down. I never gamble more than I can afford to lose, and if the financial apokolypso is upon us, we're all in the same boat, so no worries there. As GBM wisely points out, that's why we prep. Plus, it's a beautiful day here in my little corner of the midwest, and I've got more pleasant things to do than worry about a global financial meltdown! |

I'm not making any prediction and I too waited the last one out and made money. I'm just saying these things merit watching and it hot here. And I don't feel well.
