How would you set up a defense of your home from an angry mob of looters

[brainhulk]

At the minimum, what guns would you need and how many people to defend against an angry mob of 100 people armed with 100 angry signs.

Could it be defended with 2 people on the roof with 2 .45 pistols and 1000 rounds? I have a 12g Benelli too.

big plywood boards with fuck the police and blm seems to be working the best

Cover would be a priority.

After that eye protection and cigarettes

So at what point will these peaceful protesters admit that gathering mass crowds on the streets is more harmful than helpful?

An example of the idiocy:

9:02, 11:16, 13:24, 17:42, 24:44, 27:47 (porsche)

You see graffiti everywhere in Beverly Hills... "fuck the rich", etc. This has to do with cops???

You want to tell me that not all protesters are bad and it's just a bad few apples... you can switch that around for cops too. This is all making things worse, not better. These guys are taking it out on perfectly innocent people, and not even for the right reasons. Too many uncaged animals out right now who will never get the message. EVERY RACE is afraid of them when they're the ones just outside your place.

Way cheaper than buying guns and ammo too!

Well, nothing, obviously... That doesn't matter though because when throngs of people get riled up all kinds of unrelated things start to happen. When white people get all riled up, minorities have historically been the targets instead, jews oftentimes throughout history. *cough cough* Adolf... *ahem*

Also, rich people have deliberately fed racism as a diversionary (and divisionary) tactic for a long time, to keep the mainstream pleebs from noticing how bad they're getting ripped off by those at the top of society.

The "rich" will learn nothing from this other than affirming these guys are thugs and always will be. Meanwhile, insurance will pay for all of this and guess who ends up footing the bill? The rest of us too.

These guys looting are not fed up with much of anything other than boredom and gang-mentality. I've seen people get driven up store-side, they run in through broken glass like there's millions to be had in there. Someone's fricken mom, age 32. Sickening.

Also they are fed up with being broke ... its the same mentality seen in the big NYC blackouts when people ran wild.

The reason people are pissed and demonstrating may be completely valid however there are some "pro's" out there inciting violence and also quite a few opportunistic criminals taking advantage of the situation.

And the literal "revolving-door" of NY's obviously failed bail "reform" has folks who threw Molotov-cocktails at cop-cars being immediately released with zero bond.

Who the hell thought this was a good idea?

^ which is why I'm saying the demonstrations are not worthwhile because the original message is lost in the chaos. I also wouldn't call it "few".

I said QUITE a few! (that means a lot! )

I would love for you to link to some proof of this. Not some far left screed, but actual proof that "rich" people purposely stoke racial divides.

And is this really the right forum for this? I post here to stay away from that toxic crap.

 

[Kaido]

If people start getting into your yard to loot & riot, just walk outside in your underwear, Walter White-style, and start doing Fortnite dances. That'll scare 'em off!

No way to avoid a wee bit of politic's creeping in I'm afraid ... lets try to keep our righteous anger in check though!




*(One P&N will be quite sufficient thanks)

Pretty sure the majority of wealthy white folks are simply unaware and/or just don't care at all provided "race-relations" have no effect on their tee-time.

The demonstrations are not supposed to be worthwhile and the original message is a lie. Police do not shoot black men at a disproportionate level and there isn't a noticeable difference between black men shot by white cops and black men shot by black cops.

I'd suggest that it's the exact opposite of that. The racial divide is stoked by black politicians. It's easier and gets more votes. Minority voters want to hear "all your problems are whitey's fault!!" rather than "We need to fix violence in the black community, that's on US!!!" and the self-appointed demagogues keep ratcheting up the volume because that's good for them.

How many black men have been shot and killed by other black men in the last week and where are the marches and protests for them?

This is pretty tame compared to the stuff being posted in P&N right now. It seems that most of the regulars who post there are literally convinced that Trump is a Nazi who's agitating all of this unrest for personal gain somehow. It's really weird.

 

[ultimatebob]

But, seriously, between COVID-19 and the riots going on everywhere, I don't want to live anywhere near a major city right now. Buying one of those abandoned missile silos in Idaho is starting to sound like a pretty good idea.

Stockpile dung (or buy it wholesale), get a few catapults and/or a trebuchet, job done. Chances are with a huge pile of crap in your garden though, no-one will want to come near.

Is it possible to buy a hive of murder hornets? I bet that will send looters running...

That's one of the factors that's made me tolerate the European hornets that have been nesting in my house the last few years. Not the sole reason, but it's helped tip the balance in their favor. I consider them my air force.

One RPG. Who ever isn't dead or wounder will run like it's the end of the world.

Bust down your neighbor's door. Sometimes to survive the bear attack it's all about being faster than the other guy.

Barring that, moats have traditionally worked pretty well. Rudimentary stick barricades are very easy to make, and are pretty hard to get through when you're under fire too.

 

[Midwayman]

I don't think a protestor mob is a determined attacker. A few shots and they'd probably disperse. It'd be different if they were post apocalypse starving scavengers or something. Board your windows for incidental damage and any firearm where they can't easily get to you.
