"American Blackout" thread

Yeah, threatening to blow people away screams "cool under duress".

:roll:

.

Yeah, you have no idea, but then I wouldn't expect otherwise. I am under no duress here. If you can't understand the difference between the discussion of making plans for emergency situations, and "threatening to kill people", then you would probably be wise not to worry about the what if's at all.
 
Our area proved in 2004 that the killing wouldnt start in a few days. Dont take what you see on TV as gospel.

It has nothing to do with what's on TV. It's based on data that is widely available information, regarding normal supplies on hand. It's pretty easy to see what would happen in urban areas when we have a hurricane heading in toward the Gulf coast states. People start hoarding water and other supplies, and the shelves are cleaned out pretty quickly.
 
I really didn't, which is why I asked. But I'm not going to kill the first people who merely try to steal from me. I would be inclined to try to avoid it altogether.
I'd likely explain to them why they need to get off my property and at most fire warning shots before using deadly force.

I've seen how even the homeless in our area get all pissy and aggressive if you don't give them something. I'm not going to put up with that BS in an emergency situation.

Prepare for your own survival and don't expect others to do it for you.

Well, this is the statement I was referring to, which was not yours:

Not if us well prepped minority start killing said majority as soon as they start stepping out of line.

Stepping out of line being:

Trying to steal from us.

People on the gulf coast lived off the land for generations before the first Walmart opened up. It can be done again.
 
Oh, yea. Its just bravado to claim to defend home and family. I guess you would just let your die.

No, it's the "step out of line -- touch my stuff -- and you die" which is the bravado. You weren't talking about protecting your family. You were talking about, literally, killing the first people who "step out of line." Not threaten your family's life, but "step out of line," as in, merely try to steal from you.

So don't try to make it about me "letting my family die," because that's not what you said.

So you would just let anyone take anything from you and your family and do nothing.
Got bad bad news for ya, if it comes to it. People like you will get walked all over and swept aside if it all goes down.
If I need to protect what is keeping my family safe and well fed from a thief, the thief dies. It will become survival of the fittest.
Even though I think that is a one in a million shot.

That's idiotic. I didn't say that. What I'm NOT doing is champing at the bit to start killing the first people who try, as you are.

And I didnt say what you are claiming I am. No one is "champing at the bit". But if a major catastropic event happened. It will be a fight for survival.
Short term like minded people will gather to form defenses to ensure their survival. How that evolves will depend on length of unrest.
But, as now, I will kill or die in a heartbeat to defend my home and family.
 
YOU are:




And you declined to take all the opportunities I gave you to say you're exaggerating.
What exaggeration? I was pretty clear. Steal from us, and it wont take long for the decision to be made that the un prepared will have to start being punished for theft. It will happen. And you know it.

You keep asking that as though I haven't said.
You havent said. All you have done is claim I have some blood thristy bravado. Short of an alternative, you know debate, you are wanting to come after me.
You failed again.

I will leave it to you to suss out the self-contradiction here.

Good for you. What is your plan or what are you willing to do? Nothing, wait for the G to come save you? Hide? Lay down and die? What is your grand plan for your survival if it ever comes to it?
