When it really happens: SHTF...

It has gone national but perhaps not yet international. The riots are now coming here very close to me, County seat, Lancaster PA. I'll keep you informed as to what's going on.

What happened: Yesterday the police received a report of an armed individual making threats against his mother. The report came from this individuals sister. Police responded. The responding officers body camera footage is here:

So anyway, protests ensued shortly after and Antifa was bused in or drove it, whatever, they aren't from here, and the protests became the usual riots in no time. Nothing too severe, a dumpster set on fire, some police vehicles damaged and some prescient windows broken. State police were called in and they cleared them out.

They have not left, more have arrived now dressed in black and armed which in itself is a little unusual. Have not seen many armed Antifa members but of course it could be because the media isn't reporting them. This information came from a local radio call in show and the report was from someone who drove through the area. Said they were just waiting around, probably till it gets dark tonight.

They picked the wrong spot I can tell you that. We have a pansy governor who refused to take a side today and the city is run by Democrats but it is surrounded by 300,000 well armed conservatives, has a good police department and the State Police aren't going to mess around no matter what the governor says or does. The city is the lone Democrat stronghold in a Republican county. Now the Amish aren't going to involve themselves but if this gets out of hand, it could get pretty ugly. So we'll see if their promise to take this to the "suburbs" has any meat to it.

I'm going to be reviewing how various weapons work and where they are located with the wife tonight but as we are 12 miles from the epicenter, not expecting much here. I do have to go through there tomorrow morning to get work done on the truck, we'll see if they decide to try to block the freeways.
