Chances of Ferguson/Baltimore/Charlotte style unrest here in CO?

If any ruckus busts out on Colfax near my house, and spills over to INCLUDE my house................a very bad day will be had by anyone who decides to RIOT IN THE NAME OF "JUSTICE".....on my property or against my person.

You're covered (use of deadly force) during a riot.


I don't know why anyone worries about it. You get caught up like a Reginald Denny. You don't stop till the slide locks . Until then go about your day like any other.

What do you folks think the chances of Metro Denver (+ others) experiencing the same sort of riot issues like Ferguson/Baltimore/Charlotte have undergone?

Zero in the next 3 years. Slim/none in the next 5. '5' is only because I can't see the future... and because I'm respectful of the fearful sort of human. The disrespectful portion of me would say you're good to go anywhere in Colorado for the next 10 years.

Why or why not could it happen here?

It can happen anywhere, but there has to be an existing level of unrest to spark a boiling point. We simply don't have that extreme level of discord here in Colorado and it doesn't exist in an overwhelming majority of the country. But if you want more information, go ask some people that you cross paths with during your day to day. 99.9% of them will have no idea what the heck you're talking about.

And I'm guessing that at least half will think you're weird for asking that sort of question outside of an anonymous internet forum.

What areas would or would not be of concern?

Who knows? I could invent hypothetical geological locations in the Denver metro area that could turn into warzones based on hypothetical assumptions that the issues of the ass-backwards south will eventually show up here someday.

The world can change tomorrow. Our country can change tomorrow. I would recommend that you live where you want to live, do what you want to do and be prepared for when things go wrong.

So the Liberty Riots of 1768 or the Boston Tea Party weren't organized groups of armed men out to destroy property of their political enemies? Or the riots in Boston, New York or Philadelphia where the Sons of Liberty organized people to march against British troops because of heavy handed taxation and policing tactics? Not saying I agree with the motives or reasons of today's rioters, but don't think that rioting and destruction of property aren't effective in effecting political change. Usually because it precedes a revolution, which are usually not peaceful.

That is exactly what these "protests" are all about, getting free shit by force, these "protests" are not about standing up for a cause. More "ends justify the means" and "redistribution of wealth" from the communists.
