I well remember the LA Riots and Rodney King. I also remember the grid down scenario in New York back in 2003. And of course we all remember New Orleans and the Katrina aftermath. What these scenes all had in common is what we call WROL (Without Rule of Law). This is what happens when emergency services are stretched to their limits and beyond. There is no one answering the 911 call or you are told help is hours if not days away. Many police officers walk away from their jobs to tend to their own families. This is when armed looters take to the streets and take what they want with almost no resistance. It is a time when there is simply no “rule of law”.
What will you do if this ever happens? Are you ready? Do you have any idea what you will face? Do you have a plan? Have you trained for such a time as this? This is not a prepper situation, rather this is a survival situation.These terms sound alike but they have different meanings. Preppers store the things they need but sooner or later they run out of those things. However, survivalists will make do with what they have and will survive from day to day on their knowledge and skills thus our use of the Latin term, Omnia Mea Mecum Porto which means, “All that’s mine I carry with me”.
During the LA Riots there were some who did not yield to the pandemonium rather they armed up and became their own “first responders” They were civilians who took control and defended their businesses with AR15’s, shotguns, pistols and as I recall, a few old Mosin Nagants. They were not about to see what they had struggled to build be taken and/or destroyed by ruthless mobs.
Wasn’t long ago people would call you extreme, nutty, or over the top for even talking about these things ever happening. Now we are being told to prepare even by our own government. People like broadcast journalist Ted Koppel have written excellent books on what is coming. I suggest you read “Lights Out”, it is an excellent book written by Mr. Koppel based on fact. It is a real eye opener as to the frailty of the power grid system.
I encourage you to watch the video featuring Dana Loesch as she examines past catastrophes and wonders whether we are prepared for the next one. When law enforcement is powerless to help you, all that protects you and your family is your Second Amendment right to armed self-defense. You will be your own “First Responder”!
This is important. I can’t say it any plainer than that.
