There's a reason you didn't see riots in Florida like you did in a lot of northern states. That doesn't fly down here. It's not tolerated. In Pensacola they had a peace rally that lasted about a week. Everything was just fine. It was truly a peaceful demonstration. Then one day they started blocking the streets. They blocked a major bridge as well. Word got around that some "professionals" from Atlanta came down and stirred things up. That didn't go over well. Police broke that up very quickly. I live in a small community on the other side of that bridge. The local news reported that their intent was to block the bridge and walk across it into our little town. Well, it took about 30 minutes before we had a fairly large volunteer group that was going to go meet them at the bridge. It was remarkable how quickly things started to organize. Anyway, the protest was disbursed after a couple of hours of blocking the streets. But I'll tell you this, when the SHTF I know my town will rally.
This thread has totally been on topic. The question was about a SHTF situation. Kind of left it up for interpretation....Covid apocalypse, nuclear war, foreign invasion, Antifa protest spreading into your neighborhood...they all have political underpinnings.Let's get back on topic here, gents, and avoid making this thread a political diatribe.
There was a TV show in England called "Threads" about a nuclear strike on England. It was done in the 80's but it is superb. Really makes you think about what happens after. At the time it was considered one of the most terrifying shows ever on TV.In the area I live in, there is Oak Ridge Nuclear Plant, and about a half dozen nuclear generating facilities, so if a nuke war happens, I don't see much possibility of surviving it. Fallout from a war of that type would make anything above ground deadly for consumption, and the radiation level would be so high as to make it impossible to grow your own food for years. Don't think anyone other than the government would have the capability of stockpiling the essentials needed for long term survival. Hope it never happens, but with one particular leader of a certain country involved in a "special military operation" against a neighboring country, you never know.

I never heard of it or saw it, but if one has the ability to reason, one should know the survivability of such an occurrence is practically non existent. Even government stockpiles would run out at some point, and anyone who managed to get into a lead lined facility would eventually starve to death. I would rather go out with the initial blast than to face what life would be like in the aftermath.There was a TV show in England called "Threads" about a nuclear strike on England.

Was Threads the scariest TV show ever made?
This week marks the 35th anniversary of the premiere of the British nuclear war drama – which was dubbed “the night the country didn’t sleep”. It remains brutal but essential viewing.www.bbc.com
Exactly. You should watch the show. It's pretty good.I never heard of it or saw it, but if one has the ability to reason, one should know the survivability of such an occurrence is practically non existent.

I agree, but they are rushing the timing and I for one will not live under their "Management". I have been to Germany and visited one of the camps. I also study history and know what kind of evil man can dream up...Lawn chair and sunglasses are all I need
Life is hard enough now, sure wont want to hang around and see this aftermath !!
Pensacola? I will be relocating close to there sometime at the start of next year. Lol good to know community stands together out that way!There's a reason you didn't see riots in Florida like you did in a lot of northern states. That doesn't fly down here. It's not tolerated.

With NAS Pensacola, Hurlburt Field, and Eglin AFB all basically in the same area we really don't see a lot of nonsense here. Huge population of military, former military and retired military in this area. Same with San Diego. You don't see a lot of craziness out in SD like you do in LA and SF. Massive military population in SD county and the surrounding area.Pensacola? I will be relocating close to there sometime at the start of next year. Lol good to know community stands together out that way!
