With nothing stopping them, the anarchist mobs will rush in to loot everything of value and then burn your city to the ground.
Its hard to see anything stopping them now, for that matter...
Yep.
Ever seen Robocop?
Of course Jim. The question is where do we stop them from moving to suburbs once there is nothing left to loot or burn in the cities? We can't build militias without the Fed and Local governments knowing in this era. How do we communicate to like minded people without giving protocol/plans away? Landlines, cell phones, internet, ham radio are not viable any longer. Encrypted programs, maybe? But than they can be hacked. Word of mouth takes too long, unless already organized by Neighborhood Watches.
This has been my concern for some years. We are reaching the point of defending ourselves, but without comms, we are on our own. I have used encrypted ProtonMail.com for a few years, but the recipient also needs to be a subscriber. There must be some kind of secure comms. Encrypted satellite?
