Are The Economic Riots That So Many People Have Been Warning Us About Already Starting?

For years, researchers such as Gerald Celente have been warning that the coming economic collapse is going to spark mob scenes and riots that are unprecedented in U.S. history. Many have scoffed at these predictions and have refused to believe that anything like that could ever happen in America. But if what happened on Wednesday near Atlanta is any indication, we could be on the verge of something really bad. 30,000 people turned out to pick up only 13,000 applications for government-subsidized housing. Some people had waited for over two days just to get their hands on an application. The "chaotic mob scene" that developed as the applications were being handed out left 62 people injured. It turns out that there aren't even any vacancies in government-subsidized housing at this time in that area. These people were going wild just to get an application to get on the waiting list for government-subsidized housing. Yes, this is what the American Dream has degenerated into - thousands of people rioting in an attempt to get on a waiting list for a government handout.

This is how one person who was there described the scene....

"Lot of people. People pushing people, knocking people over. People getting hurt."

As you watch the video news report about this incident below, keep in mind that these people were going crazy just to get an application to get on a waiting list....

So what is going to happen when real hunger and real economic hardship comes to the streets of America?

What kind of mob scenes will we see then?

But it isn't only in Atlanta where this type of thing is happening.

Just check out the following scene from Detroit from late last year....

People are acting differently these days. They are smiling less, quick to anger and are more suspicious of each other. People are fearful and that can drive many to violence and panic as seen in Atlanta.

The same can be said about small businesses. The "fear" is palatable. It is resting just below the surface and it is not only on Wall Street, the banks, or business. Nobody is talking about or wants to acknowledge the average Joe on the street. Average America is getting backed into a corner by the government. The Welfare America knows the jig is up and coming to an end soon.

Smoke is in the air. And where there is smoke...there is or soon will be fire.

Obama's regime is doing nothing to douse the flames, instead he keeps adding fuel.

America right now is having to choose of things she neither likes, but actually despises.

Home of the Free and the Brave or Home of the Fearful and Slave.
