The article doesnt discuss the effects of the inner cities rioting and looting because they will be the first casualties of this collapse. We wont only have to protect our selves from the economy but also protect ourselves from those who fall by the wayside.

The civil unrest issue is the most scary part of a collapsing entitlement state.

I'm surprised the leftist politicians haven't tried to mandate equal access to firearms for the underprivileged.

I'm not surprised that politicians avoid the discussion of the probability of civil unrest — at least we have Free Republic to speculate and help prepare.

A lot of planning in my view depends on how worst your worst case scenario is. If you think that things will work out a lot like they are now, just with a lot more broke people and similar to the 1930’s, then that dictates one course of perparedness. If you expect something out of “Dawn of the Dead”, then it’s a whole different level.

Personally, I think this guy is outlining a more realistic worst case scenario than some I’ve been seeing.
