What if Venezeula happened here?

[Ura-Ki]

And, here in these States United, 60% of citizens believe our Constitution is outdated and no longer relevant! Color me shocked, but this is the result of indoctrination of our youth! Of those polled, there was a definite age gap, those who support it are older then 50, those against younger! Telling!

Interesting times. I am really glad that I know who has my back and who is ready to rock when it all goes south!

 

[Diamondback]

This is why I'd rather be surrounded by Grumpy Old Ba**ards like you guys than the wet-behind-the-balls little whelps society calls "my peers" and the generations after...

 

[11Charlie]

Grumpy Old Ba**ards

I resemble that remark!

 

[308]

I'd bring out my "list" and make sure none of the MoFo's who're helping this crap proliferate get to live and see their "utopia" come to full fruition...

Careful. Those nice men in dark suits may put you on their re-education list.

Tell ya a story from when I was knee high to a grasshopper... one of Grandpa's USAF-retiree buddies asked me what I wanted to be IF I lived long enough to grow up, and my answer for all to hear was "an old curmudgeon just like you and Grandpa!" The whole room busted a gut at it...

Pfft. Each and every one of us here is already on some Walking Bowel Movement in DC's Kill List anyway... some of us multiple times over between gun-nuts and either prior service or (in my case) closely associated with old-timers who are.

 

[308]

Agreed

I don't think Stomper cares. I pity the fool that knocks on his door! True story!

They don't usually knock. When they visited my neighbors it was flashbangs at 4:00am and ripping off all their doors. Kinda made a mess of an otherwise nice home.

Bad idea showing up at Stompers house un announced and un wanted, that's a fact!

True they will use every advantage but I would still bet he gets a couple

My buddy said, just politely answer the door and throw a cup of gasoline on the closest guy. Not sure how that would work out, but it could be interesting.

Hmm, maybe not a cup but sprinklers?

As if showing up Unwanted but Announced would go much better?

 

[GWS]

I'm buying a lot of hemp rope against the possibility of that happening.

I'd bring out my "list" and make sure none of the MoFo's who're helping this crap proliferate get to live and see their "utopia" come to full fruition...

Yeah! And I'm gonna get that guy who wasn't driving fast enough in the left lane to suit me.
Oh wait. This is an economic collapse thread, not a "Purge" thread
Aw.
Dang...

Never mind.

Holy moly!

What happened and did they get the right or WRONG house?!

The problem with these collapse threads is we all talk about our preps but what I'm always wondering about is what about my neighbors. I'm new here and not particularly close to anyone but I like to pretend at being a Christian and denying someone help in an emergency doesn't sit well with me. That said, if word gets out that I have food etc. then I am swarmed and that sits even less well with me.
I'm never sure what the answer is.

Those questions say a lot about the kind of person you are, and being Christian isnt a nessessity, being human is!
There are no hard and fast answers to your questions, its up to each of us when faced with those choices, and the results of those choices are what we each have to live with!

Maybe not to some, but my faith is the most important thing to me, without it I wouldn't have been able to endure the things I have thus far or what is to come, my strength comes from Christ and through him can I do all things.
