Many good points, the best is avoidance. It’s good to see experts spell out how these riots work, with scouts, radios, tactics that don’t involve shooting. They want YOU to shoot first so they can mow you down. But of course if you don’t shoot, you get beat almost to death. Avoidance is the only way to go.
On the down side, we have an expert telling us to let the mob rule. The mob has read this and is now even more emboldened. This new domestic terrorist group will have to be defeated at the point of its organization, not in the streets where normal every day people get their lives ruined.
(Please see me as speaking in a non-argumentative “tone.”) I do not see that the author was telling readers to “let the mob rule.” I see it as advising people how to stay alive if they find themselves in a place where the mob already rules, even if only locally and temporarily. A well-planned, well-placed ambush can defeat a better-prepared, better-organized, better-equipped force, if that force walks/drives into the ambush.
There are, probably, THR members who could bail out and explosively defeat an ANTIFAmbush at close range. I am reasonably certain that such folks would not choose a shorty shotgun-ish “Other Firearm” for the task, unless constrained by some specific local laws or rules. The article specifically “picked on” this type of weapon, giving specific reasons. The article specifically mentioned what the author chooses to carry, and why. It does not seem that the author plans to surrender to a mob. (I I were planning a surrender, I would want NO weapons on or about my person.)
