Not surprising, those people have a lot of courage when they are attacking innocent people. As soon as someone shows up who isn't going to play that game their attitudes seem to change really fast.

At the very least, a crop duster filled with OC would provide more interesting video.

Not really, people want someone to blame for their own lack of motivation and failures in life. Much easier to blame someone else than to take personal responsibility and fix the problem.

A moving vehicle is always your best defense, a stopped vehicle is a coffin. Keep in mind too, your windshield is designed to take a lot of damage and stay intact while side windows can be shattered very easily. If your vehicle is stopped, an angry crowd can get you or your loved ones out really quickly, even if your doors are locked. If a mob won't allow you to leave the area and are attempting to force their way into your vehicle, I suggest you get extremely violent in a hurry.

It came to that in America in 1992: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1992_Los_Angeles_riots.

I'm telling you guys.....after what I saw there, I determined that some people are just plain savages, and that I will do WHATEVER IT TAKES to not be a victim of their actions. And that's not a racial statement, that's a humanity statement - because I'm sure you could find this kind of behavior almost anywhere, regardless of race or ethnicity. It's just that here, right now, in this country, it happens to be primarily black Americans who are rioting.

Don't forget about this one in 1967. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1967_Detroit_riot
I have relatives in Detroit who lived through this riot. I remember talking to my Aunt when this was happening.

Interesting stuff on the Detroit riots. Also interesting that there have been 5 race riots in Detroit dating back to 1863.

I remember going to Michigan on family vacation during the 1967 riots when I was a kid. My parents made my brother and I lay down on the floorboards in the back seat while passing through Detroit. Never saw a single building in Detroit.

Some Korean business owners had a pretty effective solution during the LA riots.

They did, and that was certainly their right to do so, but they were foolish and purely lucky. Think about the risks...... they were completely surrounded with no exit strategy — an island in a veritable sea of criminal insanity. If their defenses had crumbled, they were goners. That crowd would have chewed them up and spit them out in seconds flat. I understand the desire to defend what's yours and to drive off the goblins, but unless they had a real castle with a moat and drawbridge, and they did not, they would have been better off to get out of dodge early on. That's what insurance is for.

I was not in but I was near the thick of that riot, and I'm telling you that what I experienced scared me for good. There is no material thing that is worth defending against 10,000-15,000 angry people with murder on their minds. Against 5 or 10, sure. But against the equivalent of an infantry division? No thanks. I'll bug out and call the insurance company in the morning.
