That little skirmish in the neighborhood was merely a probe of provocation.

You could see they had an escape route already planned along the weakest properties in the area.

None of them had lasers, sling shots or molotovs. They weren't there for damage.

They now know the police response time and with some of their comrades in the slam, they can clot up the courthouse with "protests" as a distraction.

quote:

According the videos posted by Ngo, protesters in residential areas shone flashlights on anyone looking out their windows and yelled, “We’re gonna burn your building down,” and “We know where you live.”

This is trolling for a confrontation, looking for an excuse. Forcing people to cower in their homes to prevent that is unacceptable.

Point taken. Those of us who live in suburbs should not be complacent because this isn't [yet] happening in our neighborhoods.

My prediction is that one man with a deer rifle is going to change the course of these morons. For better or worse I obviously can't say, but I don't see it taking much longer to happen.

Hope they give the coroner some help too.

I agree. It's a matter of time before something like that happens.

Where it goes from there is anyone's guess but it sure seems like things will get worse before they get better.

A hundred years ago, Chicago had Elliot Ness and The Untouchables. It’s a shame city leadership isn’t interested in solving this problem. I know my agency here in Texas has gotten interest in lateral applications from CPD officers, and other interest from several other leftist states. To the boys in blue up there, good luck and God bless.

I will be the first to admit, I am not taking my own advice.

I’m not really sure how to begin the process even though we, in the firearms community, have been advocating it for years. We really need to get to know our neighbors and organize a community patrol of like-minded individuals. Develop a plan for sealing up the neighborhood or confronting/ambushing the rioters when they eventually leave downtown and enter the suburbs. Pick a spot in the neighborhood where you can set up powerful floodlights (because they will come at night), confront them and advise them to keep moving and be prepared for violence (think "L" shaped ambush). If they think they can move out of downtown then they will and before long houses will be torched while families sleep.

We all know the tactics they will use; set fire to a house and attack the residents while they try to escape the burning building. Terrify the neighbors into not intervening. Make examples of a few to cow the rest. It is the same tactics used over the last hundred years by communist insurgents and religious extremists and it is the same tactics the more outspoken members of our own social niche tossed around when talking about responding to the actions of a repressive government bent on taking our freedoms away. Think about the reprisals and assassinations used by the VietCong in Vietnam and by the Taliban in Afghanistan. They are already ambushing peace officers protecting the community but how long before these insurrectionists start the shoot-n-scoot sniper ambush into morning rush hour traffic targeting middle class Americans leaving the suburbs and driving into the city?

The violence in the cities is nothing more then a recruitment campaign to attract the disaffected violent little sociopaths our public schools have been churning out while giving them some experience in violent insurrection.

If the idiots keep poking the bear in suburbia they will pay a high price eventually. Where it goes from there God only knows. People treat their family and home as sacred and will do what it takes to protect it.

Burn
Loot
Murder

They looted Portillos? Nothing is sacred.

The risk has to be worth the possible price. The threat has to be great enough. Give it time. The answer will reveal itself.

The leftists have less to lose. They're not homeowners. They're not married. They don't have children to support and protect. Many don't even have a Goddamned job. Think about what they have to lose, then think about what you have to lose. There is a great dispairty there. But, there will come a time.

Quoted for truth. It's gonna have to be much more destructive than what's happening today for the good middle class to say "fuck it". We have too much to lose while Antifa, most working menial jobs, can barely make rent, envious of the middle class with nice homes and cars, etc, have really nothing to lose.

This is so very true.

You may be correct. However, the mugshots the other day listed quite a number as teachers. Do you have statistics on that?

Until they open season on the bastards maybe light them up with frozen paintballs. Maybe a volunteer fireman can bring a truck home and hit them with some high pressure. Lots of non-lethal things that could really mess with them. I liked the honey wagon video that made the rounds some time ago.

They've started hunting folks they're interested in at their homes a little more openly now....and not just politicians.

WAUWATOSA - Police are investigating an incident that happened at the residence of suspended Wauwatosa Police Officer Joseph Mensah around 8 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 8. While police said it happened at the residence of the officer who has killed three people in the line of duty in five years, in a Facebook post, Mensah said it happened at his girlfriend's house.

According to police, a group of approximately 50-60 people "targeted and began to vandalize" the home on 100th Street and Vienna Street.

Ok, first time needing to vent in this thread...

Chicago. Went to bed last night--nothing. Woke up--pure chaos.

What do I need to vent about--that pathetic excuse for a mayor, Lightfoot.

Her biggest issue this weekend was people congregating at Montrose Beach, after which she took the opportunity to scold Chicagoans like we're her kids.

This looting and utter destruction of downtown happens and the first thing she can think of is to tell Trump we don't need federal assistance and to lecture him that he needs to crack down on obtaining guns from adjacent states. Guns. She's blaming guns, as if we had stricter gun control, what happened last night wouldn't have happened. She is just pathetic. I can't stand it.

So now they have moved to telling people in residential areas they are going to burn their building down for "getting sleep so they can work" or looking out their windows?

I remember seeing a video - I think from Europe - of a riot control truck that used the high pressure water and put dye in it to mark the rioters. Seems like that would be fun and useful here.

It seems no one ever taught these protest folks not to touch a hot stove.
