“This gets out of hand? We’re gonna be caught in the biggest naval battle since the Jutland.” – The Hunt for Red October
Where did they keep the tyrannosaurus rex on the submarine? The small arms locker.
There are 41.7 million Americans slurping up Supplemental Nachos And Porkrinds (SNAP) benefits. That’s an amazing number, and it shows just how far down the bread and circuses route that we’ve gone. I was surprised at the number, but I can now surmise that the only people voting for Democrats are single white women and freeloaders. But I repeat myself.
The federal government shutdown is, as I write this, dragging into its fourth week. I’m generally pretty happy about that since the impact to almost everyone I know is . . . zero. However, that may soon change. EBT cards, (EBT stands for Entitled Bums Treats) are about to have a zero balance.
The Democrats in the Senate have voted a dozen times as I write this to not fund the SNAP (Socialist Nourishment And Pampering) program. The reason? This is one of their key weapons against Trump. They want to blame Trump for not having a budget because it won’t fund the SNAP (Scam Network for Appetite Pandering) program. Since people who use EBT (Endless Bailout for Takers) aren’t generally the ones who pay attention to anything that takes longer than 17 seconds, they’ll buy it.
NASA won’t bring one animal in particular into space: the duck. They’re worried that the bill would be astronomical.
Some states (Virginia, for one) realize that the place will look like Mad Max in by Monday if the pizza rolls stop flowing, and have found some cash in the couch cushions to kick the can down the road. New Jersey doesn’t even own a couch, so they have no money, and Connecticut has mobilized their National Guard for emergency ramen drops.
No more swiping for that purple drank or Hot Pockets®. When the EBT (Everyone But Taxpayers) card goes dry, life may get . . . interesting.
What will happen? “Mostly peaceful” flash mobs looting grocery stores. These flash mobs will make the 2020 riots look like a church picnic gone wrong because someone demanded gluten-free tofu.
Because SNAP (Subsidized Nuggets for Apathetic Parasites) isn’t just a program: it’s the duct tape holding urban America’s powder keg together. As mentioned, there are 41.7 million people, about 12.3% of the U.S. population, who rely on those cards for daily food.
As I looked at my naked body in the mirror, I thought to myself, “I’m going to get kicked out of Ikea® any time now.”
There is an inconvenient fact to bring up: the same slice of society leaning hardest on EBT is the one driving the nation’s homicide stats. FBI data from recent years shows black Americans, who make up 13% of the population but 26% of SNAP users, also account for over 50% of murder offenders.
Coincidence?
Nope.
Poverty plus entitlement equals a volatile cocktail, and when the free refills dry up, that cocktail gets spiked with Molotovs.
Matt Bracken, the prophet of this particular powder keg, whose 2012 essay “When the Music Stops” reads like a Ouija board session with Cassandra, nailed it.
“What if a cascading economic crisis. . . leads to millions of EBT cards flashing nothing but zeroes? . . . any disruption in the normal functioning of the EBT system will lead to food riots with a speed that is astonishing. . . . the cutoff of ‘their’ food money will cause an immediate explosion of rage. When the hunger begins to bite, supermarkets . . . will be looted.”
My guess?
Within 72 hours of the blackout, flash mobs of “minority urban youths” (MUYs, in Bracken’s lingo) would swarm intersections, yank soccer moms from their SUVs.
The problem is that in Philadelphia you can’t tell a riot from a celebration.
Three days until the cities burn, but with today’s social media coordination, it’ll be three hours till the first viral EBT Uprising Dance Challenge goes from meme to murder.
How bad could it get? If just 1% of those 41.7 million SNAPsters snap, that’s over 417,000 murderers hitting the streets, amped up on empty stomachs and without the burden of intellect but liberally spiced with Glocks™.
I saw a video (it was on X®, probably started on TikTok©) where a woman was claiming that she couldn’t work – she was retired at 22 with her six children. Six children that you’re paying for, by the way. She indicated that it was everyone else’s responsibility to go and work for her. And then another video. And another.
We’re talking about a group of people, who, when looting Walmart™, won’t be stealing any job applications. Instead, they’ll behave like locusts because that’s their basic operating system, consume, mate, move on.
A girl I know would have sex for Adderall®. I guess she was an attention whore.
And, like locusts, when unleashed they’ll create Biblical levels of plunder. Stores will be stripped bare in under 60 minutes: shelves will echo with the ghosts of grape soda, and cashiers will be forced to hide in the walk-in freezer, live-streaming their sudden turn being on the front lines.
Day One: Inception
Sporadic smash-and-grabs in blue cities. Chicago’s South Side turns into a perpetual Black Friday brawl, with looters hauling off flat-screens because “hunger makes you binge-watch.” Atlanta’s got 640,000 kids on SNAP (Subversive Nutrition for Aimless Proles); when their purple drink privilege evaporates, expect school buses repurposed as battering rams.
Cops will be overwhelmed, as Bracken predicted. Their OODA loop is slower than a dial-up modem.
Day Two: Escalation
Hunger turns tribal. “Youths” blockade highways, turning I-95 into a demolition derby. Commuters dragged from Priuses™, beaten with shopping carts after the looters take what food they had bought.
Suburban enclaves? Home invasions spike as “foragers” hit Whole Foods for organic chicken wings to pair with their rage. Gas stations? Torched for the Cheetos® inside.
And the violence? Unprecedented in scale, a synchronized symphony of savagery from sea to shining sea. Why? Because unlike 1992’s Rodney King ripple, this is nationwide: 42 states face EBT (Emergency Burger Tantrum) evaporation simultaneously.
To be fair, there will be drift. Even red-state small towns within 20 or so miles will get spillover when the urban exodus turns feral.
The revolution may not be televised, but it will certainly be live-streamed.
Day Three (and beyond): Full Bracken
It’s here that things get fuzzy. Deploy the National Guard? Sure. To where? With what food? The infrastructure in the cities is gone, and as Katrina taught us, the people who are kept from murdering only by the thin veneer of society aren’t going to stop at one. 417,000 potential murderers doesn’t equate to only 417,000 murders.
And there will be the inevitable TikTok© trends: the EBT Uprising Dance Challenge evolves into the Loot Loop, where the winner gets the last uncrushed Dorito™ bag.
Riots will ratchet racial: “The Other” will get sorted out at 100 yards because nothing unites like a common enemy. The economy? Tanked. Even illegal Sikh truckers won’t roll into war zones, so food deserts bloom into famine fields.
Do I expect this?
No.
Could it happen?
Yes.
But what can you do? We are at a period of significant SNAP (Social Norms Are Precarious) risk because of the EBT (Entitlement Brawl Trigger).
Ammunition is cheaper today than it has been in years. Beans, band aids, bullets & guns, lots of guns. Tribe up with family & friends and keep the invaders at 100+ yards..
At,east half of those receiving SNAP/EBT are illegals. Continue getting rid of them and the problem becomes significantly smaller. But yes…next month things could get very sporty very fast.
Kind of like hiring the enemy to be in your Roman Legion…if you pay beings not to steal it will be a good thing that half are obese and diabetic.
The whole “Won’t someone think of the starving poor children?!” shtick isn’t working like it used to. Back in the day the mere threat of a single poor black kid not having enough Doritos would cause the GOP and public opinion to fold up. Now? I am not seeing a lot of movement in attitudes. It doesn’t help their cause that so many poor kids are also morbidly obese. Being able to see these entitled people crabbing about not getting their SNAP just like dey mama got and dey grandma before isn’t winning a lot of hearts and minds.
Will this lead to widespread chaos? Probably, almost certainly not, but then again who would have thought that a drug addled violent felon dying of heart failure while resisting arrest would have sparked a year of riots and burning cities?
This is one of those things that will cause a national/regional collapse, not because of the riots, but because of the effects not seen immediately. The riots can damage infrastructure, and political effectiveness to the point they can’t recover, and even recovery efforts could be hampered by more rioting. As Bracken pointed out in more than one of his books, the Mississippi, Ohio, and Missouri rivers only have so many bridges, and there is only so much heavy equipment available to repair/replace them. You wouldn’t need an extreme earthquake to disable them, and a fire or blockade could do them in. I know, steel bridges and concrete roads. Tanker trucks and other flammables could destroy the bridge. The bridges, and the lack of drinkable water. Just about everything we use is transported by heavy trucks. From somewhere else.
It has the possibility to swim way out of control.
AI to the rescue!
HOW IS WAL-MART PREPARING FOR EBT CUTOFF?
AI Overview
With SNAP benefits being impacted by the end of emergency allotments and potential government shutdowns, Walmart is positioning itself to retain customers by leveraging its low-price reputation and expanding discounted services. The retailer is a major destination for SNAP recipients, accounting for about 24% of all SNAP spending, and is preparing for a shift in consumer behavior as customers look for ways to stretch their limited dollars.
Adapting to shifts in consumer spending
Targeting value-conscious shoppers: As SNAP recipients contend with reduced benefits, they are expected to shift spending towards retailers known for low prices. Walmart has a competitive advantage as it can use its scale to offer lower prices than smaller competitors.
Expecting changes in purchase behavior: Analysts predict that while the size of individual purchases may decrease, Walmart could see an increase in overall traffic as customers consolidate their shopping to save money. SNAP customers may also lean more heavily on lower-margin, value-brand groceries.
Encouraging home cooking: With reduced budgets, more shoppers may choose to cook meals at home instead of eating out, a trend that benefits grocers like Walmart. The retailer is also expanding its prepared food offerings to attract customers who want a convenient, low-cost alternative to restaurant meals.
Expanding discounted services
Offering a discounted Walmart+ membership: Walmart is targeting low-income households with its Walmart+ Assist program, a discounted membership for those receiving government benefits. The standard monthly fee for Walmart+ is $12.95, but eligible members pay just $6.47.
Highlighting online delivery benefits: A key feature of Walmart+ is free online delivery, which is particularly attractive to lower-income shoppers. By using delivery, customers can save on fuel or public transport costs, an important factor as they manage reduced budgets.
Responding to technical and operational issues
Managing online EBT issues: In recent months, some Walmart online customers have reported technical glitches where certain SNAP-eligible items were incorrectly flagged as ineligible. While this appears to be a technical error, it has caused frustration among users who are trying to maximize their benefits.
Reinstating delivery minimums for some EBT orders: In April 2025, Walmart reinstated a $6.99 minimum basket fee for some EBT online grocery orders, which drew scrutiny from customers. While the retailer claims no minimum is required when an EBT card is linked to a Walmart+ account, the change has been frustrating for some.
“…preparing for a shift in consumer behavior…”
Lol. Yep. There’s going to be quite the shift in consumer behavior, that’s putting it very mildly.
This AI really covers all the bases, doesn’t it? Poorer people will shop more often, when they can afford to. But they’ll shop less often, to save on transportation expenses. More economical home cooking, but more store-prepared meals instead of restaurants (home consumption, if not home cooking). Why should we believe that some AI has insight into actual Walmart strategy?
Lathechuck
Walmarts volume flow of discounted items won’t mean jack to people with no money. Their ebt is empty, it won’t matter if the price drops from $6 a pound for hamburger to $4. I doubt they will exit through the check stand. Smash and grab will be the special of the day.
It’s the old saw…”9 meals…”. My guess is that how your local police react to vigilante justice will determine how bad it gets. I’m handling my weekly biz up in Charlotte (3 hr. drive) Tuesday & Wednesday but don’t plan on going there in early November.
For sure, count on your local and the national MSM to feature the poor, pitiful POC EBTers sob stories, which are Hitler’s, er, Trump’s fault.
Time to buy canned goods, coffee, and, yes, more ammo this week. Clean your guns and carry a handgun in the console.
Looking forward to Scott Adams podcasts next week when things GTH.

Anyone here remember the “Stress Test” that the U.S.D.A. did back in 2013 with 7 different states – the feds told those 7 different states to NOT renew/re-issue the SNAP/EBT benefits at the beginning of the month in order to observe and document the results/response.
Two of those states were Utah and Louisiana.
The results were what we could all expect of course..
Keep head on a swivel with both eyes and ears alert and stay armed – and do NOT be in close proximity to any crowds, especially the feral urban terrorist 2% of blacks.
NorthGunner – The Truth Is It’s OWN Defense!
Could you reply with some info on this? “Stress Test” that the U.S.D.A. did back in 2013″ I have search and cannot find anything.
Looks like there were actually two separate incidents – an outage of service caused by Xerox machines, and an accuracy test by the USDA.
https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/ebt-card-problems-not-shutdown-related/1955959/
“During a routine test of our back-up systems Saturday morning, Xerox’s Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) system experienced a temporary shutdown. While the system is now up and running, beneficiaries in the 17 affected states continue to experience connectivity issues to access their benefits.”
https://www.cbpp.org/research/snap-error-rates-at-all-time-lows
“For 2013, USDA is imposing fiscal sanctions on four states and identifying 13 others as poor performers at risk of fiscal sanctions next year, the new report shows.”
More info. Apparently EBT funds went (gasp) DOWN in 2013 because of a 2009 law that expired.
https://oklahoma.gov/okdhs/newsroom/2013/september/comm09132013a.html
Here’s the database of USDA studies by the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) on SNAP . Dig in!
https://www.fns.usda.gov/data-research?f%5B0%5D=program%3A2
And, WOW.
The official USDA website mentioned above now displays a banner at the top reading: “Senate Democrats have now voted 12 times to not fund the food stamp program, also known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Bottom line, the well has run dry. At this time, there will be no benefits issued November 01. We are approaching an inflection point for Senate Democrats. They can continue to hold out for healthcare for illegal aliens and gender mutilation procedures or reopen the government so mothers, babies, and the most vulnerable among us can receive critical nutrition assistance.”
Didn’t there use to be something called the Hatch Act?
No, I don’t remember that one . . .
I’ve always heard that if you want to eat healthy, avoid the center aisles of a grocery store and just shop around the perimeter.
Ironically enough, the perimeter will also be the safest place to be should you find yourself caught in a store during an EBT riot (except maybe the meat department).
No body has ever stolen kale during a food riot.
Just stay clear of the bananas.
Bingo. And things that have to be actually cooked are very, very unpopular.
Don’t give the niggers that much credit. Niggers in a group are like a river looking for the path of least resistance. Look at the St Louis riots after Michael Brown. One store owner holding a shotgun was enough to redirect the flow.
Almost men will do nothing. A few wise White men with more reasonable/less cowardly risk tolerance and healthy sense of decisiveness will assert their dominance and save some places and systems from total destruction.
But don’t for a second be the guy who says “he’ll save us,” because he might just withhold his benevolent supremacy from you and yours to punish your cowardice.
Take courage and be the man. ~Joshua 1

I’m more than an hour west of Nashville, not much out this way. North, east and south of Nashville is where the money is and lots of suburbia.
Glad to be in rural city, hahaha. We DO have our own Dollar Gen. Never paid much attention to them until one moved in. It’s a well stocked, well run, mini Walmart.
Would I defend it to protect the reptilian owners assets? Nope, I would protect it because it’s a valuable resource.

Yup. And in small towns I’d expect them to band together pretty quickly.

I love that! True understanding comes from trying to falsify a statement.
Great points – the “band together” is the Big Threat, so starve in place is a nothingburger. More soma in the Pop Tarts, I guess.

The inconvenient truth is it’s exactly what is planned. How it turn out is more important. The Marxist want their utopia of Communism, and those with more sense, realize the damage will affect mostly large cities, the government will continue to function in the most basic of operations, and the tedious task of cleaning up the mess a large operation.
You, like many, warned people to stay away from large cities. It was, and is, good advice.
Yes. Big cities=chaos.
This scenario, although triggered by a different event, is the prologue to my novel Friend & Ally. I assume a die-off in the FUSA of 100 million+.
The starting books are good.
They run into a genre issue for me as the story proceeds. So it’s above my price point for now.
Also, I refuse to lease books, e- or otherwise. Especially not from a business that un-personned me.
Got a link to an ePub-supported buying opportunity? And a good “jump in late to the series” starting point?
Also: Check out AethyrCzar’s Based Book Sale. And if you’re on it let me know: I’ll try to do better with cross marketing it.

Without power the assumed dieoff is 90% in one year.
When SNAP (Subsidizing Niggas And other Parasites) and EBT (Entitled Black Troublemakers) go tits up, it won’t take any 72 hours or 9 missed meals for the chimping to begin. By some accounts, it has already started. The mere threat of disrupting White wealth transfers to undeserving freeloaders is enough to trigger (heh) the most extreme displays of sub-human dysfunction.
41 million mostly useless eaters living permanently on charity that was never meant to be anything more than temporary assistance will inevitably break the bank, government shutdown or no. This self-destructive altruism heralds the end of the empire.
Don’t worry, be happy, cuz,,,Everyting gonna B all righT
It has. They’re riled up.
Food stamps do not uniformly drop the first of the month, they are electronically delivered by assigned dates and the recipients know this. Saying everyone is going to chimp out November 1 is understandable as the Usual Suspects will use it as an excuse to riot (I’m betting we’ll see more blue states involved in riots but I could be wrong).
Like Medicare, Food stamps are the responsibility of the states. The states receive their budgets from Department of Agriculture but states issue the benefits. Saying it’s Trump’s fault fits the dems M.O. and serves to escalate already smoldering tensions. That said, I fully expect democrats are itching to point fingers more than they already have while saying republicans are heartless about starving children, we’re all going to die, it’s Trump’s fault, and the lovely Vibrants should “make their voices heard”.
I despise the dems.
Feature, not a bug
You are correct. I’ve learned so much about EBTs in the last week.
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away (Louisiana) there was an EBT/SNAP glitch which resulted in the usual gang of savages just walking into the local Wal Mart, taking what they wanted, and walking out. I watched it on the news. The reference to gangs of MUYs pulling soccer moms out of SUVs in the Blue Hives has relevance. But, being born and raised in SoCal (1947), the white soccer moms and their beta male consorts have, over many years, put Marxists in power which in turn created the Gimmedat culture. That is why my Idaho native wife and I left years ago.
My Brother-in-law, a schoolteacher by profession, worked briefly at a “Continuation School” in the “Inland Empire” of SoCal. He had one of his female Negro students tell him she was planning to have five kids by five different men. Between AFDC, Section 8 Housing, EBT and SNAP, she would be set for life. Her own mother did it and so did her grandmother. How do you stop this? The whole system needs to go full Weimar.
I look forward to the videos of the (((denizens))) of the white liberal enclaves running for their lives when the above-described gangs go full Visigoth/Vandal/Hun/Mongol on Beverly Hills, West LA, Sherman Oaks, Toluca Lake, Malibu, and other toney white liberal woke enclaves. These whites voted for this. The entertainment value of the coming festivities will be well worth watching. Bleib ubrig.

Been a long time coming….nicely done JW
Wait ’til Wednesday.
I’m glad to be an hour away from the nearest big city. People around here are locked and loaded. The % of people that survive the the aftermath of urban melt down will be relatively small and as they move into suburbs then nearby rural areas they will become less and less. Hoping by the time they get to my county (3x 20mile zones away), they will be little threat since they will be encountering more and more armed people willing to protect their people, neighbors, and property. Potable water will be the most important since people can (even if they don’t know it) survive for quite a while without food. Also, the weather is getting decidedly colder, if communication systems fail, the urban hungry won’t even know where to go outside of familiar areas.
Yup. The drift drops when they have to get gas.
“…The % of people that survive the…aftermath of urban melt down will be relatively small…”
.
I think we can safely predict those inner-city Brown survivors will be:
a) the most ruthless, ‘penitentiary gladiator-school times Rwanda times the BOLSHEVIK Utopia of 1931-32 in the Ukraine’, and
b) quickest to discard First Worlder dietary preferences… their menu instantly shifts to dogs/cats/rats and the nice folks next door.
On the plus side, we’re overdue for a major Cascadia Subduction Zone “adjustment” that could likely flood and wash away most of the undesirables and their poop from the once beautiful Pacific Northwest coastal regions.
Always look on the bright side, Gang!
Yes. My tribe and I lived on the OR coast for 12 years, taking care of the old folks. Once they passed, we moved. There was enough damage done to our A/O when the Fukushima tsunami hit in 2011. FWIW, FEMA put out a directive to all of the local sheriffs and political hacks from Mendicino County, CA to mouth of the Columbia: If the Cascadia erupts, the damage will be too great and the cost too much to repair. the FEDGOV will let the land go back to nature. I got that tidbit from the then-sheriff of Del Norte County, CA.
Now that I live in the Gem State, my biggest concern would be the flood of refugees from these affected areas. All of the Mega Church do-gooders and self-promoting local political hacks here would welcome them with open arms, man buns, Birkenstocks, avocado toast and non-fat Lattes all around. And when the treats all run out, I can just imagine the blowback. Remember Katrina, when a city in Texas “welcomed” the NOLA refugees, who threw the sandwiches and bottled water on the ground and demanded Mickey Ds and KFC? I do not look forward to Grapes of Wrath 2.0 in my A/O. Just saying.
Indeed! And if the wave was big enough, it might solve some other problems.
Purple drank. fify
I debated that for the title.
“Cops will be overwhelmed, as Bracken predicted. Their OODA loop is slower than a dial-up modem.”
I’ve noticed that the cop OODA loop gets a lot longer, the more threatening the situation is. If it gets as dangerous as some people say, cops won’t be leaving the cop shop until after sunrise and the smoke clears. Might even bug out from the cop shop for somewhere safer, as they did in the PNC (Seattle?) during the St. Floyd of Fentanyl riots.
They did during New Orleans.
I think Trump has hit on a way to reduce the parasite class and their enablers. Have the NG and Army cordon off the blue hives until they go full Haiti. Then off any resisting ferals when you go in for the cleanup and rebuild.
Well, they’ll certainly show their faces.
We all have like 15 ARs for various apocalyptic scenarios including the “is they shuttin off EBT” scenario.
Beans, bullets, bandaids. But do you have a drone?
A drone to use for recon during an event like this is could be invaluable. A decent one running the same cost as a decent AR. A DJI with thermal around the same price as NODs. Weaponized FPVs have literally rechanged modern warfare.
Food for thought. Stay frosty gents.
I know several folks who have recently purchased drones, though none of them bought thermal.

TRIGGER WARNING: WATCHING TOO MANY OF THESE VIDEOS IN A ROW COULD CAUSE DANGEROUSLY HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE.

The vast majority of Americans will fall back on the usual “reasoning”.
“It can’t happen here”.
As we both know, it surely can.
A couple clarifying notes on the SNAP/EBT program logistics (and apologies if already mentioned by the dozens of prior commentors):
– New monies won’t be added, but existing cards and amounts already distributed aren’t going to stop working or be clawed back. Everyone won’t lose it at once.
– Monies aren’t all paid out at once on the first; they’re staggered, so one family might get theirs on the 6th and another on the 15th. Not everyone will run out at the same time due to that.
That out of the way, I really appreciate your raising awareness of the issue – because oftentimes the communal panic is driven by fear and misinformation. It could be that things continue as normal until enough people haven’t gotten their funds, or certain folks might try and foment riots and chaos on the first (which unfortunately falls on a Saturday).
As Remus (R.I.P.) always said, stay away from crowds.
Very well summarized.
9 AM: Riots start…Someplace.
9:03 AM: 367 people taken down in the opening volley of gunfire by everyone who’s had enough Entitlement Fatigue to last three lifetimes. Pissed off cops, store clerks, Joe Average, whoever.
9:04 AM Rioting cancelled due to lack of interest, and a sudden spike in the mathematic literacy of 13% of the population, along with massive understanding of why Martin Luther King went with non-violent protesting, because he’d graduated high school.
Food riots will be squelched with extreme prejudice, unless 13% of the population wants to audition for being 4% of the population in a matter of weeks.
Because when your meatsuit is your uniform, the Rittenhouse Doctrine will blossom like dandelions on a new-mown lawn.
Change my mind.
9:04 AM Your pet cops prosecute all the victims to protect the rioters, just like they have for decades.
9:05 AM Conservatives get onto the boxcars as ordered. The only thing Conservatives won’t do is register or turn in their guns, so they won’t be asked to do that. But they will get the new Mark of the Beast, which further destroys privacy and free speech on the Internet in order to identify illegals and block children from porn. This mark is tracked by AI, which directs a continuous small trickle of Conservatives to be arrested for pre-crime. The pre-crime accusation can be escaped if you spend $400K, so the trap is not absolutely airtight, which is sufficient to get Conservatives to obey. The prosecution of Conservatives grows exponentially, as each Conservative removed from public life reduces the backpressure against persecution.
It’s fun to smoke the crack, but just because the pipe is talking to you, it doesn’t mean it’s really happening.
Put it down, man.
The cops aren’t going to get in the middle of this any more than the military will. They’d be dead cops in about 3 seconds, and then there wouldn’t be any. And a full third of the incoming rounds on them would be from their former partners who left the reservation long ago, they just didn’t send in their retirement notices.
There won’t be any boxcars, and there won’t be any prosecution. Just urban pacification at a rate best described as “cyclic”.
Unless you want to start counting all those folks suddenly decorating lamp posts and handy trees from the civic center to the county line, in every county in 46 states.
A month later, the crime rate here makes Luxembourg look like South Central, and mostly without a badged and sworn cop in sight, but with Committees Of Vigilance springing up faster than pickleball rosters and fantasy football leagues. The biggest rush will be to count coup before we run out of targets.
Meanwhile, CFR candidate #2 does what they’ve been doing all your life, which is increasing the debt, increasing red tape on the middle class, centralizing industry, and building war machines which don’t work while pandering to half the country. The half of the country being pandered to alternates, but that’s just cosmetic as the pandering has no legal effect.
So, we need Stanley Baker?
