Okay:
Something doesn't go the way of the "poor" and "oppressed." A court decision is made or some legislation doesn't go through and riots start breaking out around the city.
It's after 6 and everybody in your neighborhood by and large is home and about to sit down for supper. Then a riot breaks out in your area of town. Police are scattered about and can help you and your neighbors with maybe one or two officers at best (against an entire mob of rioters and looters).
In more detail the rioting has spread and the poor of the HUD Housing apartment projects next to your surburban neighborhood have broken out and started looting the surrounding convenient stores, drug stores and are burning and looting the houses in your neighborhood only a few blocks away. You can hear hooting, hollering and gunshots from the distance.
You have at your estimate 20-30 minutes before they start working their way to your block. What is the best defense? Consider the following things:
Should you distribute your guns and the guns of others on your block among the men in your neighborhood and take positions?
What would be the fastest way to rally everyone? Pick up the phone and start calling around? Run to each door?
Supposing you and your neighbors do rally men enough in time, what is your next move? Barricade the streets on your block off with cars and such, with some men monitoring the back yards on the perimeter of the block?
Where do you put the women and children?
Who is going to be in charge? (If the police can send a man or two then obviously he is your captain.)
For those of you who are LEOs, how to riot mobs typically operate? Are they relatively organized or are they independent lowlifes who just run around burning and looting?
