Escaping Riots and Flash Mobs, by TX2Guns

In light of the latest media creation, TX2Guns posted an older piece that’s very much relevant today. The riots are manufactured and its funny how you and I are domestic terrorists, yet those who’re looting, burning and destroying a police precinct ‘just need a little room to protest.’ I’d be buying some ammo if I were you. -NCS


Mob Mentality…Escaping from Riots and Flash Mobs

Very relevant topic considering the state of the Nation.

Regardless of the politics surrounding it, from a Physical Security standpoint, Riots/Flash mobs, etc. are now part of the world we live in.

As a good friend always says to me:

“This whole thing is a SHIT sandwich and we are all gonna have to take a bite; Just remember to take small bites and always bite the asshole serving it!!”

Stay Alert, Armed and Dangerous!

    Time to organize … some rioters say they’re going to visit the suburbs. So prepare a warm welcome for them. This requires some organization … come to MyMilitia.com to find likeminded people near you. And since the riots show us America’s future — violent mobs and impotent politicans whose hands are tied by Political Correctness — we had better get going.

    Firearms and knives are important EDC items, but always carry less than lethal items as well.

    Flashlights have been mentioned, and rightly so. There are a myriad of uses for them both in normal times and when things go south. Besides the obvious, there are two requirements that I look for. First and most importantly is that the light have a strobe function. And it must be an easy to activate mode. I have one flashlight that is brighter, but it has a button up towards the lens to activate it. It takes a convoluted series of pushes to activate the strobe function. My other has a tailcap button that takes two simple pushes to get to the strobe. That light is my defensive light due to the simplicity of getting it into action.

    The first flashlight has a place in the toolbox as well. It has a very useful 1/2 lumen setting. A thousand lumens is cool, but there are times when you want just enough light to see what you’re working on without alerting the rest of the world. Trying to covertly do something in a dark alley with a thousand lumen light may turn ugly. So I carry them both daily.

    Secondly, another less than lethal item. It is a belt carried coin purse that resembles a large lollipop and holds several rolls of coins. It has a legitimate reason for being there – vending machines, toll booths, and such. I’ve taken everywhere, including through airport security, and have not been questioned. If asked the answer will be that coins tend to fall out of the pockets of my work pants and would constitute a hazard in my work environment. Only one person has every noticed it for what it is, an old LEO teaching a requal class. My particular one is called the “Hot Tamale” and comes from Mean Gene Leather. There are people producing them as well.

    It looks like the summers of 1967 & 68 are going to be repeated. I suspect it’s going to be much worse than what I experienced back then. Just be prepared is the only advice I have to offer.

    Another not so obvious less lethal item is an 18 inch length of cordage with a monkey’s fist (not weighted) on one end and a carabiner. Keep the cordage off the carabiner until needed. Like Matt’s coin purse, it passes inspection at screening stations. I clip the carabiner off the a loop on my pack like I’m about to attach something. Cordage is wadded up in an outside pocket. If you can’t tie a monkey’s fist, a small bowline big enough to fit over a finger to keep the cordage in hand while hunk of steel is whirling over head.

    Remember, being hit on the elbow is rearly lethal but is good at dissuading an aggressor.
