Batsh*t Summer Prepping

For those of you who get the sense there is a violent confrontation coming, you're never wrong to be prepared.

We have approximately four days until the beginning of what may be another batsh*t summer filled with some political chaos hounds.

So this is some non-exhaustive self-defense prepping.

Socialists worldwide like vehicle ramming attacks. So figure out how to get out of the way and keep up situational awareness in large crowds.

Vigilantes are people operating under a delusion they are the government. They may use force to impersonate color of law. I would add them to the stack of ‘crazy’ people to include those under the influence of : political cults, sex cults, religious cults, foreign government actors, drug fevered dispatches, and random delusional (typically homeless) violent street nuts. Use your intuition and don’t let them get within 6 feet of you or a family member. Don’t apologize. Just leave the situation without saying anything.

Know your attackers and what motivates anyone who might attack you while you’re out. For instance, the closer you get to Canada the likelihood is much higher that someone of Irish descent will attack you from the rear view for a government-based objectives. So guard your “six”. Chinese aligned operatives will have you tailed if you attend a counter-CCP protest. So if you go, figure out ahead of time how to ditch them. Leftists in Red States organize tail lists ahead of heats for batsh*t political aggression, to max out police resources. Self-defense is vital in those situations because it’s going to just look like simple street crime if you’re not at a political action.

The Radicalized, a general term for garden variety self-radicalized persons, use anything from social media stalking, clandestine hacking techniques to target people far ahead of attacks. For instance, LGBTQIA+/TrANTIFA, may organize ahead to conduct violence against certain targets. They have been known to use a car to batter the person or just box them in. They might find a way to do it on the roads or coming and going from home. Alter your normative travel routes. Shop at different stores. Keep your emergency dialer handy and self-defense weapon with you. Train yourself to collect and remember license plates by State and plate number. Take time-stamped pictures with the windows rolled up and send them instantly to someone you trust.

Create a counter-aggression strategy ahead of time. The point of prepping is when you don’t know where your attack is going to come from.

I wasn’t astonished but I was prepared for the getting sprung on by ‘Business Journalists’ posing as speech enforcers and pedestrian foreign policy advisors in a large crowd, with counter arguments to their weird Brooklyn brand of unchallenged dogma.

The problem is verbal aggression can escalate. Size up your rival and their objective and don’t go along with them. The good news for anyone in NY State, Byrna’s are the rubber bullet sidearm alternative to gun bans State wide. If they start swinging out like a crazy robot, you can just shoot them.

If it’s someone vain enough to announce they’re there to stalk you with a 3-Letter agency, just as casually announce that you have to leave suddenly, make a demand to not be contacted anymore and get out of their sight line. Don’t go with them unless they have a bonafide detention order warrant. Confer with local law enforcement before you go with them - and a lawyer.

Religious nuts come in all sects, genders and sizes- any religion- any belief system - for any reason can sour and become a threat vector to individuals alone or in a crowd. In these cases, go with who you know and avoidance can be the best policy, if things escalate.

The best counter-aggression strategy ahead of time is to adopt a poker face and get off the scene as soon as possible. Insult bait is an aggressor’s strategy to keep you engaged. Just pretend your deaf and avoid, avoid, avoid. Speak softly and in low soothing tones to angry aggressive people; while managing to increase a safe distance.

Sometimes kindness is key. If they look like they’re overheating, offer them an ice water. If they accept it, and they’re not a total nihilistic psycho, they’ll probably thank you for the reward and you can move on without any incident. Be friendly and you may just eradicate your foe.

Self-defense is not a crime, but it might be treated as such in NY, CA, MN, IL and Western WA state. That’s not a comprehensive list of US States. So get your self-defense legal aid resources queued up. Don’t let that deter your self-defense planning. If anything, get more involved with your personal plot of self defense. Just know, those areas let bad things happen to decent, non-aggressive or innocent people and then blame them for getting out from under the situation later. They don’t prosecute crimes normally. Keep your family lawyer or attorneys number on hand along with an emergency contact, if you are actually attacked.

Finally, keep a broad variety of non-lethal weapons nearby and learn to use anti-restraint techniques.
