"What would you do if the nation's general unrest erupted into civil war?"
I was having dinner with my mom and some of her girlfriends. The topic of these police shootings and race relations came up. They're all in their early to mid 50's (moms was born in '62) and they expressed apprehension about things feeling similarly volatile back in the day.
So, you turn on the TV one morning and martial law has been declared because a significant domestic attack has been orchestrated and signs point towards other attacks occurring...

There really isn't that many of us in this Country. And Far less of us in positions of power to acquire weapons. WE all need to get along for our own good.

Push comes to shove they can have this place, I'll regroup with the other people who are inclined to return to Africa.
That being said, if it weren't a racial Civil War...it really depends on how it breaks down. TN is a great defensive position and it's centrally located. If My side is near I'm hunkering down and defending.

5. "For those of you fleeing: Canada, Mexico, or other?" In response to Reply # 0
Flying might be impossible and probably would be dangerous. Boat travel sounds horrific to me.
I like Canada and I could seem them doing a decent job of harboring refugees, but I think I would go with Mexico, eventually making my way down to South America.
Staying in the country would depend on A.) the nature of the attack(s), B.) who carried them out and C.) whether we agree with why they were carried out.
My first course of action would be using my savings to relocate as many loved ones to one city as possible. We'd hunker down with provisions, combine our assets and suss out A, B, and C.

why? cause that's where my brother in law lives and he knows how to hunt, fish and live off the land.
and what's funny is my BIL is white... so I would be running to the white man. Smh...
but this is part of the problem. I don't know any Black men who know how all that outdoorsy shit.
Next time he asked me to hunt or camp out in doing it because I don't want my Fam looking at me like "save us" and I'm like... "how"

Every time you go to a dollar store type get some first aid stuff and handy things
Every time you hit the market grab some peanut butter, flour, cornmeal tuna etc.
Plus living in Detroit has helped LOL ( I CAN MAKE THESE JOKES YALL CANT)

initially head to MA where my family is if i could, if not, i'm stealing someones boat and heading out, maybe all the way up to MA, if we couldn't we'd go south, somewhere in the Caribbean perhaps.

however, i've never done any offshore/open ocean type stuff, so navigation might be an issue, but i'd still go for it.

but the more I think about this the best plan is for us to head east to the coast.
my wife is from a port town. we would all meet up and bunker down.
I may not be able to hunt that well but I can grill the Fuck outta that meat once that deer is dressed.
see, I know a Lil bit of terminology.

20. "get to my cousin house. he got a room filled wit every gun u can imagine" In response to Reply # 0
along with plenty of ammunition.
he got food & water & the rest of the survivalist stuff but i think when it's martial law and the streets are running wild, the first thing you need is weapons.
24. "im anti-doomsday/guns so I would probably get killed or die early" In response to Reply # 0 Wed Sep-02-15 09:37 AM by double negative
everybody gotta go sometime
im not anti guns exactly, Im more anti "i expect some crazy bad shit to go down so im doing to get up on my training because I expect society to collapse and its just going to be me and my guns protecting me and mines"
yo, shit goes down on that level we all gonna die. (hyperbole for effect)
