I have to take this into a different direction. This past Tuesday there was an earthquake here in California. As our governor said, "we dodged a bullet" -
They say that the BIG EARTHQUAKE will happen within the next 30 years.
Should that come to pass, most of the people here will be left on their own.

During the L.A. riots there were many Korean shop keepers who defended their stores/properties from the throngs of looters and rioters. The police, in most cases, stood by and watched. Why? They had to contain the rioting and provide security for the firefighters.

When the Big EQ hits here many people will by looking for a free things. I can imagine that the criminals will be out and about looking for things to steal from stores and citizens.

I have my supplies that might keep me alive- I think I may be inclined to protect my interests in a situation like that. That is a sad statement when you think about it. I may have to resort to using force to stay alive.

Just a reminder of the world we live in.
