Surviving Riots 6 Crucial Steps For Your Safety

Surviving Riots 6 Crucial Steps For Your Safety
When riots begin, law and order can disappear within a matter of minutes. While individuals may not go into a crowd intending to start a riot, group think and the frenzy of the moment bring out the worst of human nature. Violence will be the rule of the day in which you will either kill or be killed if you don’t know these 6 ways to stay safe during a riot.
1. Be Ready Beforehand
Even though riots are not organized at the start, you will need to be prepared well ahead of time in case one occurs.
Secure Your Surroundings and Valuables
Always be careful who you let into your home, or any other area where wealth might be displayed.
A home that has tall walls, bars on the windows, CCTV cameras and other surveillance equipment is advertising to the world that owners with fancy clothes or jewelry have money and other expensive personal belongings. The best way to not be noticed by potential rioters is to have a home, habits, and clothing that either blend in the neighborhood, or look poor enough to not be worth bothering with.
Do not keep all of your food, water, and other emergency supplies in one central location. Build multiple hide-a-ways in the walls and in the floors to store valuables. Build bury containers to hide under the house, in sheds or other outside structures to prevent looting as much as possible.

Also lots of gun and lots of ammo and shoot to kill!

There's a reason I let all of my neighbors spend a lot more time manicuring their lawn, whereas min looks a little in need of TLC... :clap:

There's also a reason I load ammo for the Beowulf....

The process is simple. Don't go where the riots are occurring. If they occur where you work, or live? Make other arrangements. If you cannot make other arrangements? Travel quietly under the radar, carrying concealed.

I have no desire to be a "television news feed" (AKA GEORGE ZIMMERMAN) because I'm "survival guy". Screw that.

I'm interested in reading this. Got to check out the link later. Like to compare what others think vs what I think.

They missed a key point;

If possible, move way out to the country. Folks don't normally riot out in the sticks. When's the last time anyone rioted out in Dorms neck of the woods?

Yup. Out here, folks that deserve it usually git their killin' done way before they have time to draw a crowd.

I hope Fred isn't a member here or associated with someone here. I'm about to hurt someones feeling if the author reads this.

Some of the stuff in that article is down-right laughable. That person clearly has no clue as to what they are talking about. Chances are, if you take that advice for a riot, you won't get hurt... but it will be purely coincidence.


1. Be Ready Beforehand

I have never seen any reports of riots in the burbs or out in the country. It's always urban and mostly commercial district. Can someone show me a house in the city with high fortified walls and a chimney big enough for a human to fit in? The last home I saw in the city that has tall walls, bars on the windows, CCTV cameras and other surveillance equipment, was when I drove by the county jail.

And why are we burying food and water? Are we preparing for a riot or the apocalypse.


2. Crisis Training and Management

Can't really go after that one. Seems like good advice.


3. Preparing Your Evacuation
Set up your defensive fields of fire, but do not engage until you know the intentions of the rioters".
This translates to old infantry lingo about securing a position... "Set up your fields of fire, but do not engage until you know the enemy is in the beaten zone." Some of us have machine guns, but this doesn't really work for everyone.
Make your property look and feel like there is nobody home. ... Once rioters enter, and are neutralized, make quick repairs to the damaged doors and windows.


This is really funny too. Caught the first rabbit. Reset the trap. LOL


4. Protecting the Small and Weak When Chaos Breaks Out

Who the hell has a soundproof panic room in their urban apartment or house? Is this written for Bruce Wayne's downtown condo?


5. Things to Avoid
Never join the riot.

And finally... 6. How to Escape a Riot Area Safely
Turn off GPS, cell phones, and any other device that may electronically report your position. If you have a newer car, find out how to turn off On-Star and similar devices.
Because we all know that rioters use GPS tracking tools to hunt down their victims. How else are they gonna find that i-phone to steal or a nice car to burn to the ground?

Sorry... I'm an ass. I know.

You're not an ass, you're pointing out yet another "expert" who really isn't.

Hence my phrase, "DO NOT BE THERE WHEN THE RIOT OCCURS!"
