Lesson: People get innovative with defense and they do it fast.

It doesn’t matter where you live, I bet that people will get creative with weapons and defensive tactics within a very short period of time. Those that learn to use what is around them and that have multiple layers of defense will have a large advantage over those that don’t get defensive fast.

The urban setting is what many people are going to find themselves in during any event. The tactics and environment are far different than the country. ---CONTINUED---

Living in our modern world feels a lot like sitting on top of a powder keg while holding a match. We’re all holding our collective breath, waiting for the other shoe to drop and wondering which fuse will be the one that sets off an explosion of civil unrest.

11 Items to Carry When You Live Near Protests
https://www.shtfblog.com/11-items-to-carry-when-you-live-near-protests/

Most protests are peaceful, but emotions always run high at a protest, and it doesn’t take much for a peaceful protest to turn into a riot if something unexpected happens or goes wrong. Then there are just some people who are just intent on causing physical damage. If you live in urban areas where protests are happening, it only makes sense to be prepared if you need to be out on the streets. ---CONTINUED---

Preparing for civil unrest
https://www.backwoodshome.com/preparing-for-civil-unrest/

(HUGE SNIP) ... Civil unrest occurs when anger, frustration, or fear turn disruptive on a mass scale. Or when government officials crack down because they anticipate such disruptions. Crackdowns can lead to further frustration, leading to further crackdowns and so on—especially when the crackdowns look unwarranted and tyrannical.

In other words, civil unrest can arise from the anger of people or the folly of government or both together. ---CONTINUED---

What to Do during Rioting: A Survival Guide
https://www.primalsurvivor.net/what-to-do-during-rioting/

Most of the time, it is easy to avoid rioting. Stay informed and you should be able to avoid the riot zone and stay safe.

But there are some situations where you might get caught in a riot (the Baltimore riots made this all too clear).

And there are yet other situations where you might be compelled to take to the streets in protest, even with the risk of rioting.

For these reasons, I believe that everyone should know what to do in case they are caught in a riot. ---CONTINUED---

Riots and Civil Unrest in America, by B.B. in California
https://survivalblog.com/riots-and-civil-unrest-in-amer/

I am writing this article not to glorify what I have seen, but perhaps to make some of you think about some unknowns. I am a U.S. Army veteran who served in the 1980s, and when I honorably discharged I was recruited into law enforcement at a termination of service briefing at Fort Irwin, California. From there I went into law enforcement in Los Angeles for over 20 years and never looked back. I am writing this article because many people are writing about living through and how to survive civil unrest (I am sorry, a riot is a riot no matter what you call it), but I don’t think many of the readers can comprehend what it is like. ---CONTINUED---

(SNIP) ... My opinion: I’d say it’s time to be concerned. And it’s certainly time to be preparing yourselves if you’ve been complacent. Should you panic? No. But you can’t assume everything is going to be fine going forward. It’s time to prepare for something worse. Is that a civil war? I don’t know. What I can say is that it’s obvious there are major underlying problems here in America, and it’s obvious that we’re no longer willing to use our words to settle disputes. ---CONTINUED---

9 Ways To Prepare For Civil Unrest
https://urbansurvivalsite.com/prepare-for-civil-unrest/

(BIG SNIP) ... The degree of preparation should be equal to the situation, but that’s almost impossible to determine. Some periods of civil unrest last for days or a couple of weeks. In other instances, civil unrest has devolved into civil war.

Your degree of preparation is your personal choice. Your location may be another factor as well. Historically, urban environments have been more dangerous than rural environments during times of civil unrest. ---CONTINUED---
