This isn’t what a civilized society is supposed to look like. We aren’t supposed to have vast mobs of very angry young people rioting, looting and generally going nuts all over the country. But this is what our nation has become.
Our major cities have become cesspools of lawlessness where violence can literally erupt at any moment. But if Americans are this eager to riot and loot now, what is going to happen once we are in the midst of a severe economic recession? Needless to say, harsh economic times are certainly not going to improve the mood in this country.
It appears that Monday night is Kansas City’s turn to experience civil unrest. According to Time Magazine, protests “have erupted” even before the sun has gone down…
Protests have erupted in Kansas City, Mo., after a Black teenager was shot in the head and arm by a white homeowner late last week after accidentally ringing the wrong doorbell.
Ralph Yarl, 16, has been hospitalized with life-threatening injuries. He was shot after he went to collect his two younger brothers on Thursday after 10 p.m., according to police. Police said Yarl mistook the address 115th Terrace for 115th Street, where he was shot.
Any time a young person dies a tragic death like this, we should all mourn. Unfortunately, for a lot of people any sort of an incident like this is used as an excuse to riot, loot and burn things down.
And sometimes the criminals don’t need any sort of an excuse at all. Less than 24 hours ago, hundreds of looters completely gutted a gas station in Compton…
Sheriff’s deputies in Compton are returning to their patrol duties Monday following a chaotic weekend that involved a series of street takeovers and a mob of looters that left a trail of destruction at local stores.
Video captured a wild scene at an Arco gas station near Alondra Boulevard and Central Avenue early Sunday morning where a large group was caught on video bum-rushing an Arco gas station and stealing thousands of dollars’ worth of merchandise, all while the clerk on duty hid inside.
The video shows one man breaking the glass door while dozens of looters crowd behind him. Moments later, the group was seen grabbing everything from drinks, snacks, alcohol and even condoms.
Go back and read that first sentence again.
The mainstream media is actually admitting that criminals are taking over entire streets in Los Angeles right now.
And the police are admitting that they couldn’t do anything about the looting because they were so greatly outnumbered.
Watching hundreds of young men work together to loot a gas station should send a chill down all of our spines.
In this case, there was absolutely no political motivation for the attack. These young men just saw an opportunity to steal, and they gleefully took advantage of it…

The day before that, there was a massive riot in downtown Chicago that made headlines all over the nation, and a “huge brawl” erupted at a Chicago White Sox game…
A huge brawl broke out at Saturday’s Chicago White Sox game for over two minutes with several spectators involved.
Fists were flying all over the place before a woman was dragged from behind over a row of seats on the first-base side.
One lone security guard attempted to make peace, while another pair of women were throwing haymakers at one another.
If we are seeing this much chaos while economic conditions are still at least somewhat relatively stable, what will things be like once millions of Americans become truly desperate?
Earlier today, I was quite alarmed to read former Home Depot CEO Bob Nardelli’s assessment of the economy…
Former Home Depot CEO Bob Nardelli issued a grim warning over the U.S.’s “very complex” economy, cautioning consumers that middle market companies are under “tremendous pressure.”
“I think we’re going to see a lot of bankruptcies. Like Bed, Bath and Beyond. We got Walmart not only laying people off, but closing stores. We got Accenture laying people off. We got Amazon closing distribution centers. So I think there’s a tremendous-mixed message,” Nardelli said during an appearance on “Cavuto: Coast to Coast.”
The former CEO continued, saying that the “complexity” of the U.S. economy is “different than anything I have seen in my 52 years.”
Sadly, he is quite right.

So many companies are going to go out of business in the months ahead.
In fact, we just learned that David’s Bridal has just filed for bankruptcy…
David’s Bridal filed for bankruptcy protection days after the company announced it would lay off more than 9,200 employees across the nation.
The wedding retailer said in a press release Monday that its stores would remain open and fulfill orders without delay as the company looks to sell all or some of its assets. Its online platforms will also remain available to help with customers’ wedding planning needs.
As economic conditions deteriorate, Americans are going to increasingly turn to debt as a short-term solution, and this will particularly be true for financially-distressed young people that don’t have a lot of resources…
Many young adults overwhelmed by financial stress cope by ignoring the problem.
Some tune out bank and credit-card balances, lose track of their spending and rack up debt. Average credit-card debt rose 29% to $5,800 in March from a year earlier for millennials and increased 40% to $2,800 for Gen Z, Credit Karma said. Younger people were also more likely to have paid late fees or taken advances from their credit cards, a survey from NerdWallet found.
Unfortunately, U.S. banks are starting to get really tight with their money, and so that means that credit lines will be reduced and fewer credit cards will be issued.
A lot of people will soon find that they are maxed out and are unable to get more credit.
And all of this comes at a time when the U.S. money supply is steadily shrinking…
The U.S. money supply contracted for the third consecutive month, and is declining at the fastest pace since the Great Depression, new Federal Reserve data show.
In February, the M2 money supply – a benchmark for how much cash, bills, bank deposits, coins, and money market funds are circulating throughout the national economy – tumbled 2.24 percent from the same time a year ago, down from negative 1.7 percent in January. This represented the third straight month of a contracting money supply.
There is so much economic pain on the horizon.
And the American people are certainly not mentally or emotionally equipped to deal with hard times.
So we better hope that our leaders can find a way to artificially prop up the economy, because if they are unable to do so there will be much more rioting, looting and chaos ahead.

It’s becoming increasingly clear that fiat currencies across the globe, including the U.S. Dollar, are under attack. Paper money is losing its value, translating into insane inflation and less value in our life’s savings.
Genesis Gold Group believes physical precious metals are an amazing option for those seeking to move their wealth or retirement to higher ground. Whether Central Bank Digital Currencies replace current fiat currencies or not, precious metals are poised to retain or even increase in value. This is why central banks and mega-asset managers like BlackRock are moving much of their holdings to precious metals.
As a Christian company, Genesis Gold Group has maintained a perfect 5 out of 5 rating with the Better Business Bureau. Their faith-driven values allow them to help Americans protect their life’s savings without the gimmicks used by most precious metals companies. Reach out to them today to see how they can streamline the rollover or transfer of your current and previous retirement accounts.
I envision a lot of dead bodies, probably what the left wants. Are these thieves and rioters the children of the corrupt election workers who are selling out their country? Destroying the only refuge on the planet where freedom still exists for a few dollars in their pockets.
Just start shooting….
That’s easy. It will be like a civil war. The left will immediately start robbing and looting the soft targets like grocery stores. When that’s quickly gone they will start going house to house in mobs. Those who haven’t bugged out but prepared none the less, will seriously whittle down there numbers. Those that are left in cities that by that time will he blockaded will turn on each other in a cannibalistic hell. When it’s all over, there won’t be any leftist left.
They will be joined by the illegals who are angry that America is not an endless fount of riches. They will just take what they believe they are entitled to. It’s gonna get ugly.
Already firemen will not go to certain parts of Seattle without police escort. Stupid Dems are cool with that. Stupid voters keep voting dem Dems into office. So goes the evolution.
This latest episode of the lefts plan to destroy America was planned and funded by someone. Lets find out who and take care of business. Anyone who believes this destruction was an organic happening that occurred on it’s own is just stupid.
Say it with me. George Soros. With a lot of help from Barack Obama.
Remember the Communist Agitators we used to learn about in School.
Yeh well, they’re alive and thriving. Look for them at the Universities.
It was not organic and never was. Humanity is being Terraformed for a purpose which of course is not in our best interest. This many people can’t go nuts all the same time unless there is an outside force manipulating their minds. You can call it Satan, The Devil, or even evil spirits, but I’ll guarantee this won’t stop unless we use bullets to wake up those who are so afflicted !!!
I agree it is evil, but the crowds are manipulated by main stream media and social sites, they talk amongst themselves and know what they can get away with, just like the illegals coming in. Yes it may get violent, people should organize in their neighborhoods, make defensive plans, harder to take 5 out with good weapons and training than defending one household at a time, once it starts people will organize quickly.
Take away the 2nd amendment, (as progressive/liberal/socialists continue to push for), and these events will get much worse. Defund our police, and only criminals will be in charge. Who controls Joe Biden? Certainly it isn’t his ‘not a doctor’ wife.
90% of the population WILL NOT survive, it’s gonna be nice and quiet again.
And my little Mom & Pop Shop just keeps going. For 30 years it’s just been myself and my wife. Some prices have gone up, naturally, thanks to Joe Dementia. Business is good.
I do have an idea, it’s crazy….but it’s an idea. If your a store that is confronted by a wild mob of Thuggers. You need to be well armed. If the mob still comes, fire at will. You’ll be sure to hit someone. The mob will turn tail quicker than you can say, “BOO”. Yes, there will a charges filed against you, but security videos will show that you were 110% justified in self defense.
The revolutionaries have elected MArxist district attorneys, that will charge you regardless of the law. If they cannot convict you, they will drain you of al your money and smear your name.
And that Raice is why everyone of them needs to be taken out behind the barn and taught a good lesson in Ethics and Morals. Preferably with a Louisville Slugger.
The pioneers always pay the price of FREEDOM. They pave the way for others.
Defend yourself, family and property and damn the consequences.
The problem is the blacks
a majority of this is in blue cities where the Obama entitlement syndrome is strong…I remember a few years ago when the EBT system went down for a day. there were almost riots at Walmart and other stores. I rarely shop inside stores anymore…best to stay away
No mention of the racial demographic causing the majority of these crimes?
Wonder why…
Ah, that’s OK, we don’t mind, it will give us some target practice.. When the young black youth take out all the cops, we’ll have to be able to defend ourselves, because there will be no one left to that job. If they riot in our neighborhood, they’ll be dead. WE’LL MAKE IT THAT SIMPLE !!!
There is a reason bullseyes are black.
Dilbert was right. You need to get away from “those” people. Change jobs, move your family. Whatever it takes.
It ain’t just Black kids. I saw White kids in the videos also. The Entitlement crowd.
No, you actually saw Hispanics, big difference. I know because my city has been invaded by them for the last 40 years.
The vast majority are black and the total black population in less than 13%. Even if you see a white person or 2 this is still almost entirely blacks. Time for the media to stop hiding that fact……
I was wondering what Scott was thinking now.
What you state is correct. If you can afford to move, prepare. If you live in an inner ring suburb of a state like Minnesota, Oregon, Mass, Michigan etc, places where the government does not presently enforce laws for rioting; move while you still can get value for your property. If you want to stay in your state (i am not sure why); move out to the small towns, that have a sheriff’s department that values the 2nd amendment and a town that has number of active churches. When there is nothing left to steal in these cities, they will go to the suburbs.
Also hot. Wait until it gets hot. The imbecile Biden supporters will blame President Trump.
With the government printing trillions, how does the M2 shrink?
I was wondering what Scott was thinking now.
Let’s call this what it is — not one white person was in the video. This was 100% brown & black. How about article titles and content reflect the truth?
Doubt it is going to any worse than 2020. In fact, don’t even think it will get that bad. This will blow over like all the others. The people who are most effected by the economic downturn don’t loot and riot anyway. Those who do will still get their ‘benefits’ from the government. In fact, you may see more desperate shop keepers shooting back cutting the looting down a bit but lots of anger at the DAs for prosecuting them. I see this article as just trying to scare people into buying gold and silver for their advertisers…..aka….fear porn.
That’s why gun sales are through the roof. Be prepared.
Only a few have dared to comment. Why are most of the looters, rioters, criminals in nearly 100% of random crime videos you see all over media, on the news, on tiktok, whatever other loser mobile apps, etc., all people of color? Yeah, there are some white folks in there too. They probably end up getting targeted and pummeled because. But nearly 100% are black, much fewer are hispanic or other. Could there be some kind of indoctrination of our people of color going on?? Gee, I wonder. BLM ‘ summer of love’ rioter turdballs. Riot at sporting events win or lose, street takeovers, thuggery on random corners & parks in Chicago or name your democrat hellhole city, when EBT system goes down, etc. Not surprising that American Marxist Democrat crap ideology leads to this, and local DAs not enforcing criminal law. What saddens me is that so many think it’s okay to act like this.
The other thing: these cowards all wear masks. It’s simple, the police need to start sniping mask wearers with salt pellets, or arrest them on sight. You wear a mask, it immediately means you’re up to no good, you’re trying to hide, you get fragged with a salt pellet and hopefully arrested.
We need more roof top Koreans again.
