I know that TFL doesn't like scenario/zombie/SHTF posts, but yesterday there was a real life situation right after the state fair ended where a mob of teens and young men targeted fair goers of a different race in what eyewitnesses described as a "scene out of movie".

There are a couple of points that I'd like to discuss specifically as it regards these attacks.
1) The mob appears to have been loosely organized in that the participants gathered at a central location, waited until the fair was closing, began with series of vandalism and minor assaults and escalated into large scale violent attacks. Eyewitnesses remarked that they felt it building and attempted to notify the security but there was little that they could do.
2) The option to retreat or hole up was effectively removed since the park was closing and security was ushering everyone out. The worst of the attacks occurred outside the park where the security guards weren't at.

4) At least 7 people were hospitalized. Every witness account I read related how a lot of people were calling the police and the security there was helpless to do anything.
So the big question is, "How should an armed citizen react if/when they are caught up in a situation like the Milwaukee state fair?"
1) Do you run and hide/escape and hope that you can find a place where you can be secure?
2) Do you go to the assistance of a victim and attempt to stop the attack?
3) Do you draw your weapon without pointing it at anyone?
4) Do you calmly make your way out of the park and hope you aren't attacked?
5) If attacked do you defend yourself and your family (with lethal force if necessary) to avoid a beating.
6) Do you take the beating and hope they don't kick you in the head too much and take your gun?
7) Would your decision be affected if your race was the same as the mob or the victims?
