    I have my doubts. These "protesters" picked downtown areas as they knew it's where they'd get the most media attention. While there's a chance a small select group may take it upon themselves to move to the suburbs, attacking homes instead of businesses will quickly turn into a very bad idea...

    I have to think many of these groups of rioters and looters want maximum media coverage, good or bad. I think that is why many of the cities where the largest demonstrations have happened, were chosen, simply because of media coverage.

    I have to wonder if they go into "suburbia" are they going to get the media coverage they would like to get? Is the media being "informed" ahead of time? Are many of those posts they are making really just about the shock value and trying to just incite fear into people?

    They got Twitter. No media needed.
    That's how this shit started. IMO

    The bricks in Plano frisco border were for construction projects but were picked up fast by frisco city works.

    The march yesterday went down Eldorado to the Little Elm/Frisco border and was peaceful.

    I can believe the agitators would love to start crap in neighborhoods but that won't end well for anyone. Homeowners would be shooting people, property would be destroyed, everyone looses. Another step away from the mans death that no one will remember now.

    I wonder how many people in Suburbia or small town USA just doubled down on the number of firearms and ammo within easy reach.

    Since last Friday, I’ve been carrying with a full combat load; I’ve also setup a rifle full combat load that at home that stays within arms reach at all times and staged reloading areas to fall back to.

    Because the media picks up on the Twitter and Facebook live stream stuff. I'm just saying, suburbia ain't immune.
    Neither is isolated small town USA.

    Got a call from a family member that they were planning to target Highland Park, where the richest of the Dallas folks live. Highland Park Village owners shut the whole shopping center down. Word for the attack went out on the twatter. "nothingofflimits" was the moniker. I know some folks down there. I suspect they may have let them tear up the shopping center, but they likely know not go the houses. Those people have the coolest of the cool when it comes to guns. Stuff like I would have if I was extremely rich.

    Indeed, twatter is the way they are communicating.

    Review the laws about time of day and other justification. Read about trying to pull you out of your car. Entering the home or attempting to is self explanatory

    I Also I found it interesting Texas defines rioters as group of seven or more. Ofcourse that matters not if they are attempting to get into the home.

    Just thinking out loud.
