Coming to a Location Near You: Civil Unrest

With the economy getting worse and worse by the day, the possibility of civil unrest is becoming a greater threat.
It’s not my imagination. Angry groups of people are gathering together more and more often, protesting perceived injustice, failure of leadership, the financial malpractice by our government and banks, and just about any unpopular decision made by a governing body. Sometimes these groups go so far as to cast their anger, and blame, on those far from the source of their original complaint. They may even show up at the private homes of individuals they have targeted for one reason or another.
Riots and mobs have long been a part of life in second and third world countries, and as America’s fortunes continue to spiral downward, it’s highly likely that, at some point in the future, you will be confronted with surviving an encounter with a mob.
Just recently a small group of self-identified, “anarchists” attacked a Starbucks in New York City.
“Mob of Anarchists Attack Starbucks”
Reading the article, a few facts jumped out at me.
Only 25 people were involved in the group.
Those inside Starbucks must have been terrified with no place to go and probably no forms of self-defense.
The anarchists advertised their event.
Some were wearing masks, increasing their anonymity.
They were willing to attack private property and law enforcement alike.
The problem with people
People are unpredictable and as a general rule, the larger the group, the lower the overall IQ. How else can you explain the crazy college students who go out and burn police cars to celebrate winning a championship game? Think about it. These young people had to present their high school transcripts and take at least one admissions test in order to be accepted. Then, they set cars on fire because their team won or lost a game. A large group of people with a lower collective IQ and fueled by alcohol is an even deadlier combination.
