I really like both, but I have to say I root for Lewis.

Takes more risks, gets into more trouble.

I don't foresee a race war anytime soon. Most people want the same thing out of life. They want a home and a safe place to raise their family and want their children to have a better life than they had. Sure, there are some radicals out there.....But society has a way of rooting them out or making them irrelevant over time.

I grew up in a upper middle class neighborhood and lived a pretty privileged childhood. The only blacks I knew when growing up were the "help." When I was 21, I opened my repair shop in the middle of a working class black neighborhood. Some of my best customers were blacks, and their attitudes toward crime and thugs were identical to most of the attitudes of your average conservatives. Same values and morals as the rest of us. And for that matter.....whenever a punk crack head moved into the neighborhood and was suspected of breaking into their houses......That punk usually ended up dead one night.....shot on the street corner. To this day, I am convinced many of those thieves who were shot were taken out by the older black neighbors.

Many of these blacks became my best friends and I would ( and did ) trust them with my life.

People look at things in a racial aspect, when in reality, they should look at these issues in terms of "the haves" and the "have nots." If the SHTF....the battles will be between the "Haves" and the "Have Nots," It won't be black vs whites.

Not to forget the gangs ... only read about gangs or see it on TV. We don't have any gang activity here.Well...unless terrorizing wildlife is gang related.

But I'd guess the first part of a meltdown would give rival gangs a chance to shoot each other unless they were too busy looting.

And that the already organized gangs would have a real heads up on the rest of us b/c of the organization. I can see the have and have not war...with gangs and gunfighters hiring out to the haves.

This complicates though, where before you just shot any thing black or white, depending on which side you were on...now we gotta think, wait if we were thinking there'd be no war

Granted immunity by both sides, or hated by all?

Same here. Like his approach. A bit frustrating at times, though.

Dude, the South has too much "residue" for many to think as you do. I perceive things just as you; the asses will form their "battle lines" and they may go at it a bit but it won't take long for them to realize that it will be their OWN who will attack their unprotected flanks because they will be more concerned about resources. By the time they figure that out those that control "The Media" will have the APCs and shock troops and things will really get "interesting"...

I hope to retreat to my home in the country and be counted out for that one. Of course, that's hoping this holds off 3-4 years until I have it...

The mop up campaign from the international shock troops or UN troops or whatever name they'll form under will take you away for waterboarding because "there would be no way you had nothing to do with the destruction".

I don't think that likely. My path through life may end there, but I don't find it unreasonable to think that others would as well.

I have a few obama posters and bumper stickers...if it comes to that I'll get busy with them, where can I get an obama flag ??

The shock troops won't care. The survivors will envy the dead.

Maybe by then you'll be back to your home state of Delusion , where the girls all look like Elly Mae ...NWO will never affect you there

This is the face of your enemy..learn it.

This how they will look b4 they find me

And after...

There will be hordes of them. That's for damned sure... And all "warring sides" will be summarily "swept up and away". They are too damned obtuse to realize this now and once they start shooting at each other it will take an act of God to put the genie back in the bottle, if you will.

 

[Mjolnir]

No, that's how they'll look AT us before they take us both away.

To avoid THEIR violence I think one would have to get away from the cities and have nothing they are interested in - small arms, ammo, cameras, etc.

Besides, once they are there you won't need any as they will kill off ALL aggressors.

Of course, there is the tendency to rape and pillage the flock...

By the way.....For those who think things are bad now, just look back to the 1960s and 70s. IMO...things were much worse back then. Between the civil rights movement plus the anti-war demonstrators....black panther battles, weather underground....ect. --- well back then many predicted that the USA would turn to crap and to anarchy. And lets not forget the cold war....Which we worried that the world would end in total nuclear destruction because the Evil Soviet Empire was going to attack us and we would strike back. The country survived. There will always be a few brush fires, but I just don't see a total breakdown. And I don't think the world is about to end.

I think it was in a song I heard.....Went something like this, " hours and days and months that I spent worrying about something which never came to pass"

Same (or similar) issues dovetailing again... add economic collapse and THINGS will get ugly. The gov't would be wise to turn the anger and frustration or we'd consume them. That's what the pinheads fail to see/fail to grasp.

Life is a lesson. They'll get there chance to learn. Again.
