When it really happens: SHTF...

[Aragorn243]

I really can't say what is going on around here. Things are happening that I never thought I would see and it is disconcerting. My wife is telling me to be careful going to Lancaster and I've not been taking her seriously at all but in a neighboring small city called York, a woman was dragged out of her car and her car was damaged pretty badly because she made the mistake of being on the same street as a bunch of moronic peaceful protestors. We have Democrat mayors and Governors who seem to be waiting for Trump to move in and take care of their problems so they can vilify him for it but he isn't making any moves and they are coming to the conclusion they have to take care of it themselves. But they've waited so long, it isn't going to be easy. I have no sympathy for them. I'll happily wait and watch until they start begging Trump to come in and then he will and it will get taken care of. But they won't be able to criticize him for it because they made the request. The media went on an on about how the protests were not increasing covid cases but the day after a Trump rally, they declared it was a record day for new cases. Completely ignoring that it takes a minimum of 5 days for symptoms to occur. There is a concern I have about Gettysburg National Military Park. I saw an online flyer today that set off all sorts of alarms and I know some conservative groups are watching this very closely. I forwarded it to the National Park Service and they replied that they were aware of it and were in constant contact with the FBI and other federal agencies. The event in question involves a flag burning in the Gettysburg Cemetery. Now I know of no cemetery in Gettysburg called the Gettysburg Cemetery so I have no idea what that means but the Feds won't allow it in the National Cemetery and Evergreen probably wouldn't either. That is where several Confederates are buried and their graves are usually marked with Confederate flags. These same groups have alluded to a possible attempt to deface or pull down the Robert E Lee statue which would be quite a feat because it's huge and people will not stand for it. They were asking for volunteers to guard it. This is all happening on the July 4th weekend which is the 150th anniversary of the battle. The danger of course is it backfires and the conservative groups get into conflict with the Park police inadvertently. They are on the same side but they can't officially sanction anything. I'm not part of any group but am feeling a bit conflicted because that battlefield means a LOT to me and that's not an understatement. These threats have occurred in the past and nothing ever came of them but the incident in York has me concerned. In order and roughly the same distance apart are Lancaster-York-Gettysburg and Gettysburg is in easy reach of Baltimore which is the nearest true city. Lancaster and York are both sort of minimal for the designation. York is also easy reach for Baltimore and it wouldn't surprise me if the malcontents are from there. Lancaster has had peaceful gatherings. Ephrata has even had a few, no more than 200 or so standing with signs. But for here, that's a lot. Last time this was going on they got less than 10.

I do not carry although I and my wife are licensed to. I may start and that's a pretty big decision. It's crazy and the authorities are not doing anything to control it and it's giving them incentive to escalate. This is one of those things that should have been cracked down on in the very beginning and these Democrats refused to do so because they thought they were on the same side. I think they are now learning that the anarchists don't like them either.
