  • It was an argument across the street from a bar I was working at. I had just kicked out the two main guys and then their friends left to across the street and they all started fighting. Less than a minute after the first punch was thrown one of the principals pulled his gun and fired 5 or six shots. He didn’t hit anyone and was assholes to elbows close with about ten people. Everyone fled. No one was hurt. Cops came by about 45 minutes to an hour later. Didn’t even stop. Just slowed down, saw there was no longer a disturbance and went on their way. Not too exciting. All three times I’ve called the cops (doesn’t include calling when I was a mandatory reporter) it was because of gunfire











  • If the disaster is bad enough you only have to survive off of your hoard until enough other people die off that one can scavenge. COVID showed us how brittle JIT supply chains are. How many people die in 3 months without access to daily medication? How many broken arms or ankles go septic or heal badly? How many staph infections, bad teeth, tetanus, botulism or whatever that used to kill and now we can get ready treatment for? Just got to stay in the bunker until all the more dependent and unlucky die then you can come out and spend the rest of your short life fighting over the remains of technological civilization with the other preppers.
