You witnessed the events of 2020 and have seen how the US was absolutely rocked to the core in part by massive mobs of rioters and looters. You saw the destruction and death that followed in their wake, and being a prepper, you want to avoid such a situation ever coming your way.
You’ve read the articles on how to defend your home, how to secure it against forced entry, and what the best home defense weapons are. You know all that. But you don’t even want things to get that far.
You’re looking for something preventative – something that will keep looters from ever even thinking your house is a good place to target in the first place.
If that sounds like you, then read on.
These are 9 ingenious ways to keep looters off your property:
‘Sick Inside’ Notice
This wouldn’t have worked in years past, but it very well may work now. Think about the events of last year. A simple sign that says there’s sick people inside your residence may be all you need to help keep looters at bay.
Whether you say what that sickness is or is not is up to you, but people are going to think twice before kicking down your door.
They’re liable to wonder whether or not you’re contagious, how bad it is, and if they go into your house if they’ll end up getting sick too. Something to think about.
Big Dogs
Hands down, these are one of the best looter preventatives out there. Whether they’re patrolling a fenced in area or barking at the front door, nobody wants to mess with a big dog.

I recently was supposed to rekey an apartment complex (I’m a locksmith) for a customer. They didn’t tell me there was a massive angry dog behind one of the doors. Guess which door didn’t get rekeyed?
Do you think a looter would be willing to take that risk? There are much better targets out there that don’t involve being torn to pieces by a Doberman pinscher.
That’s where a looter is liable to head instead if you have one of these close by.
Barking Dog Audio
Don’t like the idea of having to care for a dog on a daily basis? Why not just have a recording of a gigantic dog barking on repeat? I totally stole this idea from Home Alone, but why not? Warfare has relied on tricking people for forever.
Fake tanks, fake paratroopers, fake documents – they’ve all been used before.
Barking dog audio gives the illusion of strength, something that will cause a looter to think twice before attacking your place. It’s a cheap (potentially free with a smartphone) and easy method to incorporate, and will potentially help you to keep looters off your property.
Here’s a video:
Visible Cameras
One of the things that cause mob mentality to be so dangerous is that people begin to act as if there will never be any consequences to their actions. When people believe there are no consequences, they’re more than willing to engage in actions they would “normally” not engage in.
⇒ Automatic Backyard Traps and Alarms for Looters and Intruders
One of the reasons people within a mob setting believe there will be no consequences is because there’s a belief they’re disguised under a layer of anonymity.
Take away that perception of anonymity – remind them that there very well will be consequences later – and you’ll have taken a massive step towards scaring off looters.
Cameras are one fantastic way of doing such.
A number of cameras placed in out of reach but prominent locations will cause looters to realize that they’re currently being filmed, that their faces are on the record, and that it likely may not be difficult to be held accountable in the near future.
Plenty of Lighting
This goes hand-in-hand with the advice about having visible cameras. Adequate lighting around your property assures that any actions performed near your property are not done in the dark.

Looters like operating in the dark. Why? Because it conceals their actions, once more giving them a feeling of anonymity/zero consequences.
Light up your place like a Christmas tree though and you help to eliminate a looter’s perception that your place is a good place to attack unnoticed and without repercussion.
Spotlights Pointed Outwards
You can’t hit what you can’t see! Why not take a hint from Will Smith’s I Am Legend?
Placing floodlights, spotlights, or some other bright source of light (not lasers. You’ll blind somebody and go to jail.) pointed away from your house is a great means to keep looters from even being able to see what’s going on should they attempt to head towards your property.
Once more, I’m not sure about the legality of this though. In a WROL/TEOTWAWKI environment, sure. In a “normal” world, you may want to do a little background legal snooping on this one.
Present a Dangerous Appearance
You really need to know your local laws on this one if you’re still in a (semi-) functioning society.
Look at that lawyer couple of last year who game outside with an AR-15 and a pistol to deter looters from attacking their home and family.
While they most certainly had a number of legal hurdles they were forced to jump through later, guess whose family wasn’t attacked?
Guess whose home wasn’t burned to the ground?
That couple presented a dangerous appearance, looters were afraid of getting hurt, and the couple’s family didn’t end up in an emergency room or early grave.
Use discretion and knowledge of your current circumstances to figure out how to go about this but know that perception of danger works.
Know Your Neighbors
This follows with the preceding point. Do you remember reading about the rooftop Koreans? The community – the act of knowing one’s neighbors – helped serve as a preventative of arson, burglary, and murder for that tight-knit group (Source).
While perhaps you find that era of history distasteful, you can’t argue against the point that the community they had built helped them to present a strong defensive force.
Nobody wants to attack a strong, dug-in enemy. It’s a good way to get torn to pieces.
Knowing your neighbors – and being on the same page – helps you to present a dangerous appearance. It makes you appear strong, even if the facts may be otherwise.
Mosquito Screech
What age do the majority of looters seem to appear? Are they in their mid-40s and older? Are they younger? Though this is a broad generalization, I believe it’s safe to say that the majority of looters are younger. This means multiple things, but one of those things is this: they have better hearing.
There is a degree of hearing loss that happens to just about everybody as they age which enables younger people to hear sounds that older people cannot. One of these sounds is an incredibly high-pitched and irritating screech.
Young people can hear it and older people cannot (Source). If you’re in the middle of a town that’s currently being rocked by rioters, activating this sound over loudspeakers around your house could serve as a great deterrent for looters.
It would be so unpleasant just to be around your property that the majority of looters would be likely to keep moving on.
Final Thoughts
Looters can be an intimidating (and deadly) threat. It’s much better to prevent the threat from ever happening in the first place than to deal with the aftermath.
Hopefully, the above nine tips will help you to come up with some ideas you may be able to employ on your own property.
Are there other tips out there you believe would help to keep looters off of your property as well? Have you ever had the opportunity to use any of the above defenses? Do you have thoughts on the efficacy of the above? Let us know in the comments below!

You’re correct. The lawyers’ home was not looted. Neither was anyone else’s home in that neighborhood. The folks they confronted were not looters. They were marchers taking a shortcut through the neighborhood headed to protest at the mayor’s home in the same neighborhood. I’m not challenging your advice, just your example.
They “were not” marchers just taking a short cut to go protest. They were scum bags that have been reeking havoc on the country.
it was hard to watch all these “so call americans” destroying our towns and city’s and then the scum bags that approved of it, makes me want to vomit and it’s still going on today.
Now, every stupid person wants to bitch about how there race is not being treated fair.
I thought that we were one nation under GOD, not a nation of individuals. I call this the States of America, because we are NOT UNITED any more…
Just look at how we have came together with marriage, and the mixture of blood. Blacks and White and Mexican and Irish and English and Native American and Chinese and Canadian and India and on and on and on… Alphabet soup.
So how can any one in american, call out RASISAM.
One race is better then the other, we are all here on this earth and NO were else to go and live. Were, on another planet.
The article is good, but one thing I saw was the, Do Not Enter sign. I’m sick… Not for me, because some nut could come and burn your home down and then say I’m helping control the spread of the virus. Then he gets a pat on the back and then every one is burning every thing down. It’s bad enough that they want this new Green crap LIE.
Be careful with the signs, Best to not have them, then take the risk, of people seeing the signs and then come to Investigate what is there.
Thank you
Ok, donald.
Red Ant. We are one nation under God. God holds individuals accountable, as do our laws. Your post indicts all the protesters that the lawyers confronted with guns, by using evidence of the sins committed violently elsewhere. That’s not the way things are done in America. If so, you can probably be indicted; I can probably be indicted; everyone else can be indicted for the violations and sins of anyone else who looks or thinks the way we do. It is true that some of those protesters trespassed and got verbal, but they did not loot. They didn’t show up to loot and there was no altercation until someone started pointing guns at them. No other neighbors felt threatened, got verbally abused, trespassed or looted. It was a “John Wayne” moment as was your post.
@ John.
Yes we will, ALL stand before The Glory of GOD.
If you saw someone beating a person, would you be one to watch and then pullout your phone and film the betting. “Or” would you put your self in the way of the threat, causing SIN, to help that person.
The Good Samaritan.
This is the new america.
I can’t say what the lawyer did was right. Me I would have done it differently. But @ that time when they did that, there were protesters all around causing chaos every where. They had every right to PROTECT there property as they saw fit. Did you think the police were going to come and help them. NOT A CHANCE ..
Would you reather of seen them get beat to death by that mob, that latter that day went and burned down there city.
We All need to look @ our selfs in a MIRROR every time we wake form our sleep in the morning or what every time it is for you, then say,
I will be a good person today.
To be honest, in your heart, you know that what has gone on sences all this started is wrong and that’s NOT how things are done in America.
Every person that has gone along with any kind of Hate or Destruction in our country are not true Americans. That’s from the top to the bottom .
Is that okay with you. dam can’t you SEE that our country is in a bad place.
I grew up when we were at war over what color you were. To me it was confusing. Just made no sences. Why are we fighting over what color we are.
it comes more clearer to me in my older age, why we hate each other over what color we are.
But it’s not about our color and never has been.
I believe that just as the Holy Bible speaks about, the great falling of Lucifer.
If you seek God then you to will understand that its not about Color or Race, it’s about how many souls Satan can deceive before the GREAT return of JESUS.
He will use the “Weak” and the “Non Believers” to be put in to high positions, to be used to Kill, Steal, and Destroy.
If a blind man can’t see, is it not true, but if he hears, is it true.
free will is what we were givin,
your choice to believe
We are a nation of individuals! That’s what the Framers intended and why they constituted a republic, not a democracy Every person gets to choose for themselves – if the Constitution is adhered to faithfully.
They were trespassing and had just broken through a privacy gate!!!!! The lawyers were within their rights to protect their property…
It is a perfect example!!!
You bet. When you live with mom n dad and you transgress you get grounded, in real life you can get yourself or others shot for making good folks fear you, when you are on THEIR property. After you BROKE in the gate, to THEIR property. We have let the enemy teach our next generation to do what, they themselves, can’t do. Destroy this country from within. Lawlessness, Godless, mindless, careless, brainless, undisciplined, uncaring, selfish and cruel behavior. This is what the older programed comunists has taught the younger , fluoridated, vaccinated, indoctrinated, emasculated, berated, uneducated, younger, programed, future comunists. Without Jesus we are lost.
They were an angry mob who hurled dozens of verbal threats against that couple. They BROKE DOWN A GATE, then marched through a PRIVATE neighborhood, trespassing on PRIVATE PROPERTY
JFC, did someone drop a deuce in your head and forget to flush?
JC= JUST CUCKED
YEW R WHATS WRONG WITH AMERICA- YEW POS=MAGA=SUICIDE
They broke down a gated property and at that time was a mob
Jim, were they just more “peaceful protesters” that physically broke through a locked gate, and then threatened to harm and even kill the home owners and occupy the home themselves? Please continue watching MSNBC and CNN to keep up on the latest Libtard propaganda.
They didn’t break the gate down. That was done after the events of the lawyer couple illegally brandishing their weapons at protestors (who were merely walking by their house) who were never a threat to them or their property.
Amazing the number of ignorant people here who think it’s acceptable to threaten others because they’re exercising their first amendment rights. Aden, your summary of the couple is incorrect, full of blatant bias & pushes a false narrative. Do better.
Anderson, you are the epitome of a Libtard Troll, you make the DNC / CCP proud.
anderson: No, the couple were not ‘brandishing’ their weapons. That was a lib word for the day to liberals. They were within legal right to defend their property from the mob which was destroying property. Not long before that, this ‘peaceful crowd’ beat the hell out of a disabled man carrying a small US flag. Good thing the ‘white supremist’ non-white proud boys were there or your peaceful crowd would have murdered him for kicks. If you’ll recall, when the lawyer went to court, judge and jury alike said this was a frivolous arrest.
Groups turn into mobs and a mob mentality. Displaying a firearm, legally of course, refocuses people’s attention. If the mob doesn’t have equal or superior firepower, they will be inclined to move away from the display.
Red – You’re right! Only Alex Baldwin “brandishes weapons” and we know where that leads.
CC: A cousin sent me a good one, a pix of Lincoln saying never trust an actor with a gun. niio
Jesus guy – I’d be embarrassed spreading such BS propaganda like that – that gated community had absolutely nothing to do with the Mayor’s place blocks & blocks away …
how about disgruntled POS trash that took the community gate as an insult to their conceived right to thieve, loot and burn because a fellow thug got himself killed attacking a PD officer >> knowing the enemy is the first step !!!!!
how’s the JESUS guy. got a name to his post ?
They were armed looters who broke through a gate to enter private property. Simply entering, they damaged private property and were trespassing. When instructed to leave the private property, two armed members of the mob threatened them and moved toward them. Only then did the McCloskeys display their weapons in self-defense.
How completely ignorant and I am surprised to find such an uninformed and dangerous comment here.
I would wish you good luck in what is coming, but it is wasted.
You won’t last long.
Dismissed,
Gunny

Not sure if cameras help, the only people I’ve seen arrested because of video evidence are the colorfully costumed Trump supporters who reeked havoc on the Capitol building.
We were watching the Minnesota riots one night (grab some popcorn) and got to laughing at the looting of a liquor store, this one old guy stepped through the broken display window and came back out with nothing more than a 6 pack of PBR. Obviously didn’t understand the concept of looting.
“Judge” Holden:
The “colorfully costumed” performing in D.C on 6 Jan were not Trump supporters, as I hope you do realize – and they were not charged or imprisoned after initial arrest, either.
Real Trump supporters, however, are still being abused in prison.
As to Minneapolis, I saw a black store owner in tears because his pleas to communist rioters not to destroy his business – were in vain
Sincerely Hope that you do not find the realities (to which I testify) very popcorn-consumable & l.o.l-able?
Riiight… “it was antifa!” Except it wasn’t. That is simple fact. The Jan 6 rioters were Stop the Steal Wingnuts.
Why does the prepper movement feel it necessary to parrot far-right neo-nazi talking points.
Surely, we can disagree with a lot if what’s going on without resorting to lies and distortions.
peter: It really helps if you actually read the news, not just go along with anything you’re told by biden and the rest. My profession–semi-retired–is manuscript research. That’s where you research things for writers. If you screw up, you can forget making a living on it. Leftists never get it, that this nation was sent towards becoming a nazi nation by FDR. Dem politicos never do anything that Hitler would not approve of.
Wow, glad that you think that Someone Else’s small “mom and pop” business getting looted and trashed by the filth of humanity was so “funny”
But of course, you’re so gullible, you believe what you see on your TeeVee. Because after all, some dude in a Viking hat rubbing his gonads on Speaker Pelosi’s desk OBVIOUSLY outweighs the TEN STRAIGHT MONTHS of beatings, looting burning and murder that went on during those “mostly peaceful” riots.
If you were an actual judge, you’d be disbarred. And if there were any real justice, you’d get locked up with the same feral hate monkeys who were so “peacefully” taking stuff that didn’t belong to them. And when you posted bail, you could come back to YOUR home robbed of everything you ever owned, burned to the ground, following which some insurance company calls the riot an “act of god” and doesn’t pay you
Both your daddies called. They told you to quit pestering the grownups, and go finish your coloring book
sammy: Well said. niio
My town is having a spate of catalytic converter and electronics in farm equipment thefts. The perps are on camera, wearing dark hoodies and masks, and gloves. They are unrecognizable enough to prove their identity with enough confidence for our prosecutor with the skill level or assets of our local law enforcement. This, however, didn’t seem to be a problem for the FBI during the Jan 6 Capitol “invasion”. Anyone have an affordable noisy solution that would wake folks up during a building break-in because they are using saws to cut this stuff out of equipment? It’s only a matter of time before they start sawzawing into buildings.
@ Carla
Set them up and make it so inviting that they can’t pass it up.
Remember stupid people are very stupid when they see something that they just can’t pass up.
When they come back. put a round in them and do the earth a favor.
GOD knows who they are…
Carla, I wish you the best and please stay vigilant and willing to defend yourself and those you care about. I’m not sure what would work for your situation but there are a lot of alarm systems for sale that have very loud alarms when triggered. I live on a cul-de-sac and have a smoke alarm that is loud enough that my neighbors about 100 feet distance can hear it even inside their home, so I’m sure there has to something available that will wake people up in a home if their shop or barn is broken in to.
2 mean dogs might work. If they are breaking in your building, then put the dogs inside at night. Do not put up a sign up about the dogs.
Carla, They used all kinds of cordless heavy duty demolition tools to break into homes here during Sandy. Didn’t matter if they used a door or a window either. Once the power was out and the homeowners were forced to leave it was a free for all. In hindsight, many now realize just how foolish it was to depend on alarm systems and big tech solutions to provide their home security. They dismantled and took any home generator systems too.
@judge
shaaaaaaaaaaaa
I have a dark sense of humor, still chuckle when I think of all these people looting and reeking havoc and here’s this one poor old dumb son of a gun who steals one six pack of the cheapest beer in the store. Had to cook up extra popcorn watching the idiot Trump supporters reeking havoc, not often you see a bunch of redneck fools dressed up as half assed commandos trashing the halls of power. The good I take from it all is that out of all the BLMs, Commies, Hippies, Fascists, and all the other barely literate peoples who took to the streets the cops only shot one of them dead, in almost all cases risking their own precious lives. Black or white, liberal or conservative, if I’d been a cop in trouble during one of these peaceful demonstrations I most likely would’ve run a pretty good body count.
Hey, I got a good laugh out of that foolish couple brandishing weapons they didn’t know how to use, they were allowed to guard their property with their weapons, the law they broke was waving them around and threatening people. That’s a statutory law, also an important rule when handling a weapon. And that chick with her finger on the trigger the whole time?
“He never sleeps, the judge. He is dancing, dancing. He says that he will never die.”
Hint: I am not a judge.
Judge: Nothing wrong with a sense of humor, dark or light. Now, how many idiot Trump supporters have actually been charged with a crime on 6 Jan? So far, none have been found guilty. BLM among them, yep. And then there’s a Cap cop who murdered Ms Babbit in cold blood–word is he was ordered to. Pelosi owns the capitol hill keystone cops. Cap Hill did an internal investigation and found the man innocent. nice of them, huh? who was unlocking doors to allow people in? Why is the insurance company that insured pelosi’s laptop demanding shew be investigated for fraud? There’s quite a bit of interesting things coming out like cap hill cops are going to be the national police force–and sieg heil only to someone like pelosi. niio
red, cap hill cops would be slaughtered if ever engaged in a real firefight.
dz: True, but they’re pretty good at back shooting unarmed people. Gestapo were the same sort, but they also has SS backing them.

Judge: There were antifa thugs there, the goof in the hat with horns is a big liberal and a hater. Pelosi is being investigated for fraud against the inc. co. The list goes on. niio
red, a very real and serious problem is the DOJ has been bought and paid for by the Libtard agenda, even the ones that don’t agree with the fascist tactics cannot or will not “buck the system” and take corrective action.
dz: do they dare to? The FBi was owned by the dnc since hoover became head. All the rest of the alphabet soup of agencies bow to the wealth and power of the dnc. It’s always outsiders who rock the boat. niio
“Reeked havoc”? Let me guess, you get your news from Whoopie, Oprah, Joy Behar, John McCain and Harry Reid. Mindless idiots.
Interesting article. However, no matter how well you prepare your property, there is somebody out there who will cross the line and test you. It is only a matter of time.
very true! At which point you will need to remember the following
A) I’m so sorry officers, I’m REALLY shook up about this. I FEARED FOR MY LIFE AND THE LIVES OF MY LOVED ONES.
B) Which is why I will not be explaining to you myself why that’s the reason I shot that sumbitch 12 times. I will have my attorney do that explaining
C) YOUR ATTORNEY’S PHONE NUMBER. Preferably his personal cell number, on speed dial
D) Likewise, your attorney will explain that you were so stressed over this murderous assault against you and your family, that THAT is the reason why you didn’t call 911 right away. You must have blacked out from stress
E) Which is why this feral pile of garbage bled out
F) Which is why this same filth of the gutter won’t be able to sue you, contradict your version of events, or come back looking for revenge when some bleeding heart “judge” releases this monster early for “good behavior”
G) Because after all, the judge lives in a gated community, with 24/7 armed security who have weapons and training better than the local PD
Sammy: When I was a little kid, a man was killed on the Kills Deer reservation. The cop showed up, saw her standing there with a bloody butcher knife and a half-dozen little kids hanging on her and crying. A redskin in a liberal court, she would be sent up for years. He ask what happened.
“Well, she said. “He committed suicide.”
The cop scowled. “Suicide? Lady, he got 27 stab wounds in the back and chest and you got the knife.”
She only sighed and said, “He come home like always, drunk and mean. I chased the kids do to my sister’s house. He started to beat me and I was almost passed out. then Jimmy come home.” She touched the head of the biggest child. He turned and there was a large black mark on his face. “He tried to get his daddy to stop. My man backhanded him and knocked him across the room. that’s when he committed suicide.”
The cop looked at the body, then the knife, then the kid and wrote down suicide.
Donno if the story is true, but there are a lot of suicides that would not bear looking into. so make sure the story is plausible 🙂 And women (American Indian) do say, “What do you tell a man with 2 bullet wounds? Nothing, ’cause you already told him twice.” niio
A dozen years ago or so, I was taking a short cut through an alley behind some stores, next to an empty field. Suddenly, I see a body laying in the alley. I think he was still alive as it seemed that there were bloody bubbles coming out of his nose. From the blood trail, it looked like he had pulled himself from the field toward the stores.
I called 911. I had gotten out about half a sentence to 911 and a police car zooms up behind me and tells me to hang up immediately and get out of there. I complied.
About a week later, I saw the same police officer, in the same alley. I asked him about that night. He said that it was just a little street justice. The guy in the road had been beating on his girlfriend. The girlfriend’s children took the boyfriend out to the vacant field and let him know what they thought of him.
The idea is to make it less appealing and more difficult so they move on.
first of all – it’s a town subdivision/neighborhood effort – if everyone just stands in their front door waiting for the flaming gas bottle >> kizz your azz and everyone else’s goodbye – it’ll be more arson & violence than looting – who wants your used crap when they carted off 20 brand new widescreens from the store ….
defense starts at the entrance – whether it’s at the “Welcome To _____” sign on the edge of town or the street intersection leading into your neighborhood – block the vehicle access and the lazy azz lifelong welfare sippers will keep moving – why screw with a pecan when there’s plenty of soft shell peanuts ….
last thing you want to do with looters – play possum – the idiotic advice to try faking out a burned out & looted home with dead pets laying in front >>> only invites them in to check for eazy booty – Why not? – your home is deserted >>> after inviting 4-5 firefight ambushes into your home – you might try something else if you survived ….
Illini, I agree, and depending on the circumstances at the time, is why it’s good to have several pre-scouted overwatch sites and some 2-way handheld radios with fresh and extra batteries for those you trust to help you keep watch and defend as appropriate. I’m a firm believer in “reach out and touch” the threat at distance, preferably with a .30 cal round through the head (one shot, one kill), but center mass will do if they are not armored, or lower spinal column or pelvic bones if that is your most feasible target at the time like if they are leaning into a vehicle.
Then, be ready to covertly move to another position and continue overwatch and defense.
yep – and a VERY a visable road blockade – Biden “Elmer Fudd” double barrels are only good for one thing in a defensive situation – INTIMIDATION – scares the crap more having a big 12g beast pointed your direction than a host of AR-15s …
your overwatch / forward snipers are for the megaphone riot organizers that stay in the rear – you have the loudmouth instigating leaders out front with their rampaging followers and the real brains pulling the strings >>> everything else in the middle are unmotivated opportunists looking for the eazy score ….
Illini, selecting targets is a decision made by assessing the “value” and threat presented by each exposed target. Overwatch is good for eliminating any of them, but I would try to determine which are the planners, leaders, and instigators as priority, but can be modified at any time to take out any more immediate threat such as a guy lighting his Molotov cocktail and getting ready to throw, or anyone holding a long rifle with optics (and spotters), especially if they are scanning around to locate targets.
Illnni warrior
Yeah bradon the double barrel shotgun is so much more scarier then a battle rifle…. lol
Come on now…. this world sucks and the media and even the pro gun community will flip on you for defending your home.
Illini: Good post. niio
There is an old joke that you don’t have to outrun a bear you just need to run faster then the person you’re with.
Forgive any weirdness here I’m using speech to text.
I don’t know if it’s been mentioned yet but as far as the part we suggested a bright light facing outward to keep criminals from seeing what’s going on it’s kind of a double-edged sword.
Because that also means but if you can’t see what’s going on looking at your property from the road that also means nobody else can see either especially if he or she trying to break in your property or they do and what’s going on. That’s one of those and you’ll have to forgive the pun bright ideas it could backfire
Exodus, to do a proper assessment you need to view things out like your enemies would. if I were out looting and I came across a house or building with bright spotlights and I could not see beyond the “haze”, I would back off and if I was still interested I would try to approach and observe at distance from a different direction. This is why Law Enforcement shines a bright light into the faces of everyone they interact with in the dark as a precaution in case things go wrong. The LE can see the person fairly well, but the person in question cannot really see what the LE is doing.
You gotta use some common sense with the lights. I utilize flood lights myself, along with motion sensor lights. Hell, even the stray animals have quit coming around so much. So don’t think that dogs and cats don’t know when they’ve been lit up. I don’t think it is meant for you to leave them on when you’re away. It’s rather a security measure for when you’re inside and want to blind anyone who might be thinking of entering to do harm. With all things, we have to use common sense. No body would intentionally blind themselves——that is unless they didn’t have any better sense than the would be looters. Me personally. I never leave or come home without protection on my person. And not the desire, but the willingness to use it if necessary.
Wayne, I have bright motion sensor lights also, front and back, including one that lights up immediately in front that also has a motion triggered camera that records and can be viewed remotely from my devices.
As far as “critters” staying away, it works on some but others get used to it and keep coming back, like my neighbors cats and some small “bunnies” that roam the neighborhood, and they all activate the camera.
If you were scouting out an enemy location (think of gangs of criminals taking over an area like they did in Seattle) you might be able to use smaller, cheaper .22LR rounds to shoot out lights, cameras, alarms systems, etc., saving your higher impact rounds to take out the enemies.
We like all natural but this is cool for here and now. Electronics in a SHTF would only attract looters post SHTF. Still, now natural helps keep the creepy people from your house. Thorny roses like rogusa under windows. Yucca. cactus. Hedges of wild olives, mesquite, and there’s plenty, as well, if you live up north. I like mountain xolo dogs (in most of the world they’re called pariah dogs) because they aren’t barkers. They will, but not much. 1 funny thing is, they’re the ancestor of the Chihuahua (noisy dog 🙂 niio
Cool, I have olive tree seeds coming in for planting next year! The cacti will need to be transplanted but got a few of them. Yucca didn’t seem such a deterrent… Am I missing something?! Got one growing now, but it was small to begin with. Transplanting almost killed it. I keep an eye on your stuff red, not so much just for people but fence is expensive & I have free range cows to deal with. Stupid cows….
Hawthorn: the dog ate my olive tree! He’s just a pup yet, and the tree only a few years old. I found it and chased him around the yard with it. He won’t do that again! (I hope.) Well, his name is Termite. Next one gets an acacia fence around it.
Olive seeds should be planted right where you want them. Most, if not all, will revert to wild olives and make a chainsaw in the hands of Michael Meirs look friendly. A definite deterrent. Can you raise manzanita? No thorns, but they’re so hard my stepfather said when he was stationed in Camp Pendleton, CA, some kids got drunk and decided to test it. they ran a tank over, not thru, the brush and got stuck. But, keep that away from buildings because it emits a flammable gas like cedar does. But, it get an eatable berry, too. Good for the hidden garden.
A little old lady down around Douglas, AZ, got tired of being raised by mojados, so she planted a nice garden around her yard of nopales, and Christmas cholla, all good to eat. Her son had a backhoe and helped transplant the cactus from the desert. A week later, screams in the night terrified her. Some jerk jumped her privacy fence right into the cactus.
And, time to plant peas. And more garlic, as well. niio
Hawthorn, your name made me think of the tree in my front yard. It’s a hawthorn tree. It does pretty well with limited watering and it sends out runners for new trees. What it does have are these inch plus long thorns that are often hidden with a little clump of leaves. It seems to just grow and grow in spite of my regularly trimming it.
A dead looter hanging from the tree in the front yard with a sign on him would work also.
Gun: True, till the cops stopped by. this is a here and now scenario, not post-SHTF. Even then, people would mark your property and keep an eye on it. Hungry people would try to get to you at different hours day and night. It’s like posting a sign, food here! niio
That’s what they do in Afghanistan.
the Mexican Cartels also display bodies, sometimes just parts, as “messages”
CC, yeah but it’s the wrong people getting hung! 🙂 niio
I think I’d be more prone to pull a Vlad The Impaler move and shove a pike up their butt and post them in the end of my driveway. Lol.
But will the HOA be OK with your choice of lawn decorations? OTOH, they probably would be happier with dead looters than pink flamingos…
Daddy: Can’t say no to that. But, a rancher down on the border placed plastic skulls around where coyoteros were bring mojados and OTMs over the property. That stopped them till some liberal stole the skulls and broke them. He used a couple of coyotes after, hanging them from trees. No more trouble. ! niio
Gun, I understand the concept but I don’t think I would hang the dead looter up at all, but would burned on a pyre a good distance from my location, which also could be in a very visible location to send a message. I would prefer to avoid the attention, keep watch, and if feasible either “divert” or eliminate threats from distance, again everything you do will be based upon how you assess and respond to the specific circumstances as they occur.
If I ever did decide to post a visual “message” like this, I’d hang the dead looter a lot farther out than my front yard, as in miles away, like at the outskirts of the community or along the road that leads in your direction but well away from your location. Any looters traveling that way should get the message, but should not be able to determine which specific location(s) the message is coming from. Would handing a dead looter in your front yard then identify your home as a prime obstacle to other looters? What if they are armed with long rifles, and/or using fire as a weapon, and decide they need to eliminate you so they can continue looting without you attacking them? Instead, if you hang dead looter(s) from the “Welcome to..”, “Entering…”, or other sign, a power or light pole, a bridge or overpass, or or even a billboard along the road, will looters be able to determine who exactly placed the message, and how to locate messenger?
I would prefer to avoid the attention, keep watch, and either “divert” or eliminate threats from distance if feasible, again everything will be determined by how you assess the specific circumstances as they occur.
Shoot, we’re all a bunch of tough guys here, let’s hang a live looter, string him or her up by a loop through their Achilles.
Judge: I’m not that tough 🙂 Messy and an advertisement. Might be funny for an hour, tho. Then his family comes for the funeral feast. niio
Well, I quit raising chickens for meat because I always turn them into pets and then feel bad when I take up my Uncle’s Son House…that’s how tough I am.
Judge, how about staking a captured looter out as bait? Or we can burn one at the stake as a public display “don’t mess with us”.
Judge: Much the same here. 🙂
Nah, when Jesus comes, He’s going to come. People claiming He’s coming on a certain day or year are apostates, calling God a liar.
Now, I do believe God will bless or punish a nation, as well as an individual. When a Muslim gets on a rant with me, I point out that the bad things in a Muslim nation are in line with what God said of apostates.
Oh, I’d say a lot came out of the BLM protests. A lot of states that suffered them are voting against liberals. That’s where liberalism shines, when it forces it’s foot down past its tonsils. Respectfully yours, always! niio
@red
YOU SHOW ME, any where I posted the year month week day hr min sec. about what time CHRIST is coming.
YOU can’t and no one else can either.
It’s funny y’all keep saying that someone is claiming his return at a set time…
NEED PROOF
Just like YALL want, show me PROOF. … YOU CANT.
Be very careful suggesting that we are calling GOD. a liar. Until proof then, you are the liar…
Prove to me that I posted that and I dam sure will except being a Apostate.
until then, don’t be that guy. At lease put a name to who you are referring to. it must be me you are referring to. yes
Remember it’s GODS way, not man’s way, only thru Faith not any way other then thru Faith.
red ant, show me were I said you did that.
you may have not directed that at me. But you sure did mean it to be directed at me.
say what you want but you maybe need to look closer at what you say.
I can say things about thing that are not directed at you but are about you. Then say we’re did I say that about you. you didnt, but surly was directed towards me.
be honest with your self. you know what you were doing when you said that. a little slap with a smile. not cool.
Judge. You seem relatively sane and clear-headed. At what point do you consider protesters with legitimate concerns the “other kind?”
I seem sane and clear headed because I hold my tongue.
I’ve been a protester, I’ve watched enormous protests all my life and after all the protesting is over I’ve measured the gains and losses. Protests accomplish nothing. The system ignores them, or the system reacts more or less violently depending on the violence of those protesting, but the system doesn’t change. A shallow example is the uproar over Hollywood not giving Oscars to people of color, so two years ago all the awards go to people of color. This year, one? Message to people of color, the system gave you a gift, now it takes it back. This is called, offering a sop. What was accomplished by all the BLM protests? Not a damn thing. Just like the riots in Watts, Detroit, D.C. in the 60s..
The only thing Jan 6 changed is that the Capitol Police put up bigger fences now. Good fences, good neighbors make.
I don’t see a big American collapse on the horizon, don’t expect Jesus in the clouds any time soon, but that doesn’t mean things don’t get crazier. When I have to go to a city I can’t believe people are willing to live barricaded in their nut to butt houses cleaning their guns and debating what kind of spotlights to put on their property. If you can’t walk out your front door naked (at 76! just imagine!) and check the mailbox out at the gate you’re living in the wrong place.
judge.
Which side of your tounge do you hold.
He cry’s out, for him to dip his finger in to the water, so that just one drop is all he ask for.
Even today, not one drop has touched his tounge.
You will see the return of JESUS coming down from the clouds.
But he that hides his eye’s, sees nothing but the darkness. There you will be, if you do not remove what hides your eyes…
Not all will “see” the Glory of GOD’S Kingdom.
i got plenty of fencing wire for a reason.
I am hoping shooting 3 Combat Pistol, Rifle, and Multi-gun Competitions
every mo for the last 10yr.
And Having:
5k rds of 556
5k rds of 9mm
A few Frags
Shooting from in and around, under Cars, Vans, Jeeps, etc
Shoot-houses, more.
Every position and weather you can possibly name.
Day and Night.
CQB, XCQB, SNIPER, MORE
Class IV Ceramic Body Armor Plates
Will be enough ?
Brag. Brag. Brag. Brag Brag. Now everybody knows. Don’t they?
Only someone spending Taxpayer dollars can have all this military grade stuff and DO all this fancy training.
Only an idiot or a Fed could say A Few ….. with out getting a whole lotta ah excitement in their lives.
Idiot, liar or Fed none are mutually exclusive is possible
Dz I expect better than strawman arguments. Discussion implies both are willing to exchange ideas.
Michael, are you clueless? Everything he lists is available on the open market for civilians to purchase and train with, including Ranges that include Close Quarter Combat and Sniper courses. Ever hear of a Rogers Range? That’s the kind that have targets that pop out and back for reactive reflex shooting. Ever hear of robotic targets? Those get expensive but can be found on higher end ranges.
Now about the other supposed “insults” you fling. Even though you directed them at someone else, I’m retired military, currently a Federal Employee, and I’ve been know to spend taxpayer dollars to support DOD activities.
dz are YOU Clueless?
Read his list again Sir.
He is saying he OWNS (See the 3rd item on his list just past the 9mm)
Insults are in the eye of the beholder. I’m retired military. Are you also claiming ownership of devices that Guarantee a long visit to the Grey Hotel?
Thus my comments stand as is.
Michael, Frag can apply to small arms fragmentary rounds, as well as grenades. Fragmentary small arms rounds can be purchased from retail outlets. If the guy has Frag grenades then that can be an issue, but don’t you think it would be better to find out EXACTLY what he meant before you pass judgement?
What do you think about “ghost guns”? Do you have any? Know of anyone else that does? Are you panicked that these are legally sold and owned by private citizens?
Defender; It would take a bad guy only 1 properly placed round to take you and all your weapons and training “out of the fight”. Stop the bragging.
You’re better off then the fudds here with the 1911 claiming you only need one shot.
Nice training my friend and keep it up
Raven: As a fellow prepper we could get along with each other for sure… but my friend, learn how to spell. As far as my comment to Defender…. bragging only draws unwanted attention to him and his weapons & etc.
Defender, a good start?
Defender, sounds like you are well stocked and actively keeping your skills in practice, but I would research the Class IV Ceramic Body Armor Plates. I have been told ceramic plates will break, especially if impacted on the edges. Even though they are heavy, I would prefer AR500 steel (or better) plates.
Enjoy sprawling
What about a nice big sign saying “Venom Research Laboratory and Breeding Facility”? With another under it saying “Warning -Poisonous Snakes and Spiders -All Visitors Must Sign Waver Before Entering”. And “Please Empty All Bags and Containers Before Exiting Premises”.
Would that discourage most people, do you think?
MissKitty, I recommend not posting any new signs at all, but you may consider leaving up any older and weathered signs already in place such as “no trespassing” along fences to keep the area as normal looking as possible to avoid attracting any additional unwanted attention. Any serious threats will be attracted to new or unusual signs and wonder why someone would post such a sign and what is being hidden.
Miss Kitty – I think that would only work with Trick or Treaters.
That would be funny till the cops showed up wanting to know why you have vipers but no permit. There are some things which cops have no sense of humor about. Vipers are big bucks no matter how your look at them. live, 5-10 bucks a pound. Skins worth almost that much. If push comes to shove, Mouser is on her own. niio
Miss Kitty,
YEP! That would do it for me! Turning back around and going 25 miles out of my way to Stay clear of your place!! Probably riding the back of ANYONE traveling with me.
Man alive! I HATE SNAKES!!
Peace,
MadFab
“Snakes… why’d it have to be snakes?” ?
Kidding aside, I honestly don’t think ANY kind of sign is going to deter people who are bent on looting. The mentality of looters is that “they” are ENTITLED…to YOUR stuff, by whatever means. They’re not going to read warning signs (assuming that they CAN read), and they’re just going to do what they want. “Beware of dog”…no problem. Kill the dog. “Beware of owner” …no problem. Kill that mofo and use his wife and daughters. If they can’t rob your house or business, they’ll torch it. Preferably after barricading the doors so anyone inside dies.
The mobs that we saw last year taking over certain cities were definitely NOT the out of control free for alls that the media were portraying. The bulk of the property damage was confined to the retail and business districts. Very few (for the numbers involved) instances of physical violence or deaths. The “race” narrative very carefully cultivated to look like people of color rising up against white oppressors, even though actual film of the riots show more whites than people of color, especially in scenes of violence.
The whole thing was carefully orchestrated as a psy/op to cause more racial conflict in the country and to create the illusion of a fed up underclass rising up against the oppressors. The message to whites was to comply with our demands or lose your business and maybe your life. The message to minorities was, “See? You have power to do whatever you want and to take whatever you want with no repercussions, but only if you stand with us”.
If any of these “protesters” ever saw the completely unhinged violence of a real mob they’d run the other way.
So…the best way to deal with a real mob? Expect to die, but make them pay in blood if you choose to stand your ground. Otherwise try to escape before the mob gets too close and try to avoid any contact.
That was the reason behind my rather silly post. Because if you can’t fight or run, you’re so screwed you might as well try something crazy, and maybe you’ll get lucky.
Gee, Mad, they’re only gentle woodland critters. What’s not to love? Just ask any animal rights nut. They only take small bites, honest! Snakes, not liberals. Snakes are more humane. Liberals want it all. niio
MissKitty, you got it right, your own reply to clarify the humor of your bogus Venom sign pretty much sums up the psy/ops used by the socialist / communist agenda to “fundamentally transform” America so it collapses from within. The DNC / CCP has been working on carrying this out for decades, including decades of a long term operation to completely control the education system in order to “dumb down” and indoctrinate the young with social engineering doctrines to make them compliant and willing followers. We are now experiencing the results of this long term systematic corruption of our education system, along with massive corruption of all aspects of government from the Federal down to the local school boards, government sponsored hate mongering, bogus propaganda campaigns willingly promoted by both corrupt politicians and dishonest Media, a justice system that operates by political whim instead of honestly upholding the Constitution and valid laws. So what do we do now to correct this?
So true Miss Kitty! And while they were at it, they might as well have some fun and focus that looting on a capitalist top-of-the-line designer store, where only “the rich” can shop in an expensive neighborhood. Heck, why go home empty handed? Why not bring home a goodie bag while your at it and spread the wealth. Communists!
Hush now Illini Weirdo.The adults are talking.
Say Kay dud. TROLL…
your post, are like a FART, loud noise then a bad smell then a vapor that just fades away in time.
It’s now time that you fade away, butt, I am sure you will be like a runny fart. nothing left butt a stain.
you are the poster child of Inept…
Come on Kay yer killin us, don’t you have anything better to do than fueling IW’s fire ? What ideas have you to bring to the table in SHTF/TEOTWAWKI ? Ya gotta know something besides talkin shit to IW, but it’s definitely comical between you two i’ll give ya that much, makes me reminisce when my kids use to live at home.
Screw your signs, You’re only drawing attention for someone to stop and read what might be going on, They also might call your bluff, I am not right in the head in the first place, tresspass on my land, your head will be removed abruptly from your torso, the rest will be left up to the birds and worms.
Let me take a deep breath here. OK. Following the advice given in this article would not lend itself to a successful outcome here in the big city. Here, one needs to focus on location and building structure. Even so, one needs to make sure they maintain adequate insurance with a reputable company.
Propane a blasting cap a 200foot buried wire and a 9 volt battery a backhoe and 400 acres looters? nope ain’t seen em.

About this Program
In 2020, members of the world’s elite met at the World Economic Forum and launched the Great Reset initiative to transform the world economy. Klaus Schwab, the founder and executive director of the Forum, wrote, “Every country, from the United States to China, must participate, and every industry, from oil and gas to tech, must be transformed. In short, we need a ‘Great Reset’ of capitalism.” This second CCA of the 2021-2022 academic year will consider the idea of the Great Reset, its ramifications for America, and pro-freedom alternatives.

Hey Montgomery!! Don’t you get it? Red ant and the Illini Weirdo are the same person.You don’t have to defend his craziness. That’s LCCs job.Anyway it’s too much fun rattling
his cage
I say this to you Kay
kay, what? IW and RA get on rants at times, but yours takes the cake. Tap your helmet and get in the game.
Zero F***s given Kay, not here to defend anyone, I asked you a question for which you apparently have trouble answering.
Kay, you are another epitome of a Libtard Troll, you make the DNC / CCP proud – They like ignorant sheeple.
Red Ant: What ever you wanted to say didn’t post.I can see that loosing your train of thought is easy for you.
Kay, let me explain this to you in a way you might understand.
as per that totally ignorant and indoctrinated Libtard, Greta Thunberg, blah, blah, blah. Your posts are just more pointless propaganda gibberish that the sheeple still love to believe. Are you on the DNC / CCP payroll?
kay
nothing to say. to you.
you, just don’t get it. do ya…
kay: if you missed redant’s irony, you missed quite a bit. A loose train of thought is all right. It makes the mind work faster.
Dz – The CCP Chinese Ministry of Commerce just issued an urgent warning to its people to prepare for an emergency and to stock up on food, water, and other essentials.
China has quit exporting fertilizer. Most of our larger farms in this country use Chinese fertilizers. There have been several train derailments of fertilizer trains in this country. Russia has quite exporting their fertilizer.
The plan is to create lower crop yields worldwide.
Sagebrush Lin:
That might be another reason for the anti-meat push. The best natural fertilizer is composed animal poop, and it’s something that the homesteader and hobby farmer can do at home for free to increase yields. By taking away the animals, TPTB affect the entire food chain.
“He who controls the food supply controls the masses” .
Sage: Look up a very conservative rancher, Gabe Brown, on YouTube. ack in the 90s he went notill, then started to add cover crops. Right now, he’s up to 5,000 acres in S. Dakota, 16 inches annual rainfall, and getting record crops without chems or irrigation. Most of his neighbors who still use chems always have their hands out for government crop insurance, government lard. He does use a grass herbicide, but that’s it. 500 head of cattle and no haying because they prefer to graze the cover crops. even at -50 F, they’re on pasture. Aggie was never meant to be a welfare program, but liberals made it that way. Like Dr. Carver said, want to see wealth from farming, then get the black back in the soil. niio
Miz Kitty, agreed. Carnivore is the diet most recommended these days, so why the push to stop raising livestock? gates and the rest of the uber-libs are buying up farms and ranches like never before. this depression is a boon for them because land is selling at rock-bottom prices.
Chicom/socialist fumbles caused a famine in china. They’re all bitter because dems stopped a lot of coal mining in the US, but US businesses that use coal were given incentives by the clintons to buy from Indonesia and elsewhere.
Modern farming is like this, what was old is new again. Old-timers used to soak grain a few days before feeding to livestock. when silos came along, they stopped it. Now it’s back. Sowing clover and turnips under maize is back. Hogging out fields with pigs and cattle is back. Chems are lazy and a trap. I see a lot of great things coming out of the chicoms’ failures, like Gabe Brown, SARES, and so on encouraging folks in aggie to step back and see the damage chems do to the land and to the people. niio
Miss Kitty, Your comment regarding the anti-meat push fitting into the whole program makes perfect sense. Now, if my cat would quit doing her “business” in the planter box outside, I sure wouldn’t mind. There is a limit to what type of fertilizer I will tolerate.
Sage: I had a problem with Termite, a dog, jumping a 3 foot fence and then breaking it down. When he broke off the new grape vine, I cut some acacia and put them in where he would jump. He saw me do it, was told 3 times not to go in there. As soon as my back was turned, he jumped in and them out. You have the option of taking down the planter for a few months. I couldn’t move a garden bed. He’s learning, but his ancestors were the ancestors of the Chihuahua. 🙂 niio
Well we destroyed out nations topsoil with chemicals and stripped everything out. Welcome to a new dust bowl.
CC, that is a dire warning to the rest of the world to do the same. Prepare or perish.
Raven: That was true till ag went conservative. Watch Gabe Brown on YouTube. He ranches 5,000 acres in SD, gets 16″ of moisture a year, uses little chems, and no irrigation and welfare farmers hate him. He has broken county and state records with cover crops and cattle. One field went from 1.5% carbon to 11%, and his fields are nearly drought proof. he’s semi-retired and all he does now is give talks. His son and daughter-in-law bought the place off of him as he bought it off his father-in-law. farmers who give up blowing money on the dnc’s monsanto re making money in ag. And they’re the only ones, and the number is growing fast. niio
The high pitched noise that Aden Tate mentions in his article actually does work. The library that I used to go to, would play high pitched classical music to deter young people from camping out under a covered area by the front door. I did notice that no one that was younger stayed there very long.
For the protestor or rioter, once they learn the truth, they will find out that they have just been a tool for some bigger machine.
All the protests against alcohol before Prohibition in the 1920’s were the women protestors being used by John D. Rockefeller to get rid of home made alcohol. Cars before then were able to run on various fuels so some created their own alcohol to run their flex-fuel Model T’s. Rockefeller owned most of the gas stations in the cities. He had to get rid of homemade fuels so he gave $4 million to the protesters. They complied and marched.
All the women’s reproductive rights protests didn’t come into play until unmarried men had to start paying child support for the babies they created outside of marriage. The protestors were manipulated into marching for the right to kill those little ones who might initiate the need for child support.
The list goes on. All of those protestors/rioters are generally uninformed about how the world works and who is paying for what. They have no idea of how they have been manipulated. Any home defense has to keep in mind that the IQ of those marching might not exactly be Mensa level.
+1. One of the best points that’s been made here. That manipulation is at a fever pitch, both on the left and on the right. What if the same people were manipulating both? Wouldn’t that be a crock? There’s money to be made and power to be assumed if you can control both sides of the issues. That’s why I dislike political parties. Since when does any facet of life, and the decisions we have to make about them, have only two options? If we are viewed as sheep, it’s easier to run us into one of two chutes, than it is to let us free-range with liberty and independence as nature dictates.
My family history includes being from a family that escaped when the soviets came into their country after being given away at Yalta. As a little child and just learning to read, I remember seeing the slick advertising the soviets sent to those who escaped to the U.S., trying to lure them back so that they could be either killed or sent to Siberia. I learned early on to be cynical when looking at almost anything to do with politics. Too much of it is just manipulation. The fact that political yard signs actually affect the vote is extremely disturbing to me. It is evidence that the voting public does not know what they’re voting for, if a sign can influence them.
What drives me nuts, is the public education system. They never have enough money. They are never held accountable. They manipulate the system to fund themselves, in many. cases not do anything to really help the students learn anything which would actually prepare them in life. Instead, it churns out useful idiots, molded and skilled in nothing that will contribute to society in a positive way. NYC actually let all students out to protest in the riots, giving them extra credit for exercising their civil rights. Parents need to fight back. The money should go with the student. Not the school. That given parents the right to choose the best education for their precious children. It’s amazing to see that happening in Virginia!
CC: they fund themselves–and the dnc. niio
Sage: I would have said Joe Kennedy as he was a major investor in foreign distilleries and and losing money. The Temperance Movement had entire states and a lot of counties backing them before it was (an illegal) national law. libs did it to buy votes, nothing more. Liberals lie and people die. I doubt there’s a country outhouse in all of Appalachia–or most of Arizona–that would bear being excavated for fear of the skeletons. Now, Rockefeller was a fascists in many ways so I agree. His dislike of homemade alcohol came from his investment in Standard Oil and that the Model-T was built to run on alcohol. the lesson is, beware of RINOs. always. niio
The number of “suicides” that occur is beyond astounding.
One of Aden Tate’s other advisory points was to be “on the same page” with your neighbors. Acting as a lone wolf can get you killed. What if one or more of the protestors had met the threat of being shot with a few preemptive shots at the McCloskeys? It would have been a different outcome. Death, rather than legal hassles. Who didn’t face death? Who didn’t face legal hassles? Their neighbors didn’t. Protecting yourself during a home invasion is one thing, but the law and common sense looks at trespassing of private property outside the dwelling differently. The standards for standing-your-ground are higher. The trespass first occurred on common-property owned by the neighborhood, the defense of which belonged to the HOA, not the McCloskeys. Then, trespass of the McCloskeys’ yard occurred when they confronted the group. The neighbors didn’t do that and none of them complained of trespass. How many of them, however, had weapons at hand awaiting the first breach of their dwelling? That would have been the correct way to have handled the situation.
caton: the mccloskeys were within their legal right. The Castle Doctrine is law in most states. the HOA was not doing its job. Given the BLM’s rep as houseboys for antrifa, a nazi organization, I’d do the same. For that matter, some little old ladies in Tucson stopped a riot simply by shooting antifa thugs in the buttocks.
John “Canton”, yes, I misspelled your name on purpose to give you something to whine about. The question about the couple is not whether what they did was correct or what someone else would do or not do, but was it legal? And yes, it was legal.
Red Ant:
I think Red’s comment was general, not directed at you specifically.
There are a lot of people who are posting on chat sites and u tube about the Second Coming, claiming that they have a date, blah, blah, blah.
They’re counting on people not reading their Bible thoroughly, because it clearly states that NOBODY but God Himself knows when it’s going to happen. Even Jesus, at the time that the apostles were asking Him about it, couldn’t pin down a date. He told us what to look for, what prophecies had to be fulfilled, and that’s all.
So all believers need to be ready, as a lot of the signs are here, and many of the prophecies have come to pass. Not all, but how much notice are we going to get? We all need to have our houses in order.
Miss kitty. Thank you.
I do understand that there are many many people predicting his coming on u tube or other sites. But I seem to be the only one on this site that is saying anything about the second coming of the savior. Not predicting. just saying. They take words of of context and then add some crap to it to make it look like you are a dumb ass for believing in the second coming.
So it’s real hard to set here and read such BS. Then read the words that they must search very hard to find to call someone a Apostate just out of hate. That’s what a lot have done. attack my religion. I’ve only TOLD THE TRUTH…
There just trying to hurt the heart of someone that is a believer in the signs of the Holy Bible.
They will see and then it will be to late. I guess they will deserve what they receive.
it’s just sad, because I no HELL is real.
thank ❤
Wait till you tell them about the 4th commandment and how it was never done away with…..
Or that their favorite holidays are garbage to the Creator….
Or that they didn’t speak English anywhere in scripture….
Or that the letter J was even a thing until several hundred years ago
Think it’s hard speaking to NON believers? Try speaking to those that THINK they are.
I’m not Christian, I’m not Jew. I believe the entire scriptures, and I hate titles like that.
I’ll give you an example why.
Answer this, who is the richest African American?
Oprah?
Lebron James?
Beyonce?
Nope. Not even close.
The richest African American is Elton Musk.
He was born in Africa and now is an American.
Red ant. There’s a teaching in scripture about greet a city in peace, and those that don’t accept it return your peace, dust off your feet.
Yes sir
Matthew 10:14
Been doing that for a long time.
Thank you

Deception… was the key word.
Isaiah 41:10
dz: Very good article. niio
red ant, have you ever encountered someone who approaches people and badgers them trying to get them to agree with them (BLM and ANTIFA come to mind as recent antagonizers), well, that is how you are presenting yourself but in a religious context. We know you have a lot of good information you can share regarding prepping, but please try to avoid annoying others and making false accusations, especially those that have not done anything to provoke you. Personally, I find the constant “in your face” preaching annoying.
can’t do it. and won’t do it.
I guess just put up with it like I have to put up with it.
say as you wish and I will do the same.
so if any one says something about GOD or JESUS that’s okay. But then when I say something about there ways don’t say anything back… just take it like I will take it.
how’s that.
yes I have plenty that would be very helpful to a lot of people. But my GOD come before any of that.
dz you could simply NOT READ them eh?
Or maybe like Antifa-BLM you have a need to make an issue out of it?
Unlike “Real Life” ™ events like REAL in your face people you CAN IGNORE posting and Posters you dislike. It’s Called Freedom of Speech and Freedom to Ignore.
I’ve read more useful information from Red Ants postings than yours so far. Sometimes he posts useful information while you seem to post opinions.
Ignore us Be Happy. I’ll lose no sleep about that.
Correction dz you do like to post links that are of strong opinions also.
I suspect they form your opinions you share so freely here.
Maybe useful, maybe not eye of the beholder perhaps.
Michael: I like dz’s posts and encourage him to do them. I also like YOUR posts and hope you continue to post. While we don’t agree 10%, it’s usually still good reading. niio

Who’s mindlessly down voting all of dz’s links this morning? No body could LOOK at all of them and then down vote all of them this am.
I disagree with arrogant opinions but at least I show enough respect to listen before I trash them .
I am grateful some of you are NOT in my MAG because if you act like this in “good times ” How will you act under stress?
I don’t care about the opinions of Trolls, Libtards, or anyone who judges others without valid information.
Dz oddly you cannot simply ignore posters whose “Preaching ” or opinions annoy you?
This in case you haven’t noticed is the Internet, anybody can create an online persona and post. I would not be surprised if “Kay ” isn’t female. “Her ” posts seem to lack Prepper Useful Information but seem calibrated to make noise at Illini Warrior.
So I ignore them. It’s really simple. You on the other hand occasionally post something useful so I read yours.
Thus how does dz “figure out ” someone’s judging others “without valid information?
I’d really like to have that skill. Please advise.
Thanks
Michael, you asked “How will you act under stress?”
depends on the situation but I absolutely try to avoid panicking, will assess the situation, then determine my best course of action, which sometimes is trying to help, sometimes taking no action at all, sometimes continue observing to get more information, and sometimes is just throwing up the mental barricades and dong whatever needs to be done, even if it gets dirty or mean.
PS: what’s your MAG?
I haven’t voted them down yet but I should. If I want google search results, one suggestion of a search phrase is all that need be posted. He’s just trashed the whole comments section making it more difficult to find something meaningful. Pasting tons of links with no comment as to why I might want to copy/paste it into a browser window is just plain stupid. Unfortunately, as was said elsewhere, we can’t put a commenter on ignore but I can, and will, certainly ignore his posts.
If dz wants someone to hear him, he needs to post something intelligent. It’s not about agreeing or not agreeing, it’s about respecting the readers enough to say something worth listening to.
Dz a MAG is a Mutual Assistance Group.
It consists of proven trustworthy folks that have each other’s backs. It allows bulk buying power like Restaurants have. It has both trained professionals AND Cross Training.
When we have a Bad nor’easter (that’s a nasty snow storm for non New England folks) we check on each other and our neighbors to make sure everyone is OK.
Dale: It was a joke. the best way to avoid practical jokers is to ignore them. niio

I am not sure where you all come from, but if you break down my gate, you are not a protester. That is a criminal offense, destruction of private property. And anyone entering that gate is trespassing also a criminal offense. Once you commit 2 criminal acts in my presence I will assume you have no respect for the law and will do what is needed to protect myself and my family! Luckily I live in Florida and we have actual laws against criminals that we tend to enforce. But those 2 were justified in their actions, as least as far as I have seen, I was not there so no way to know 100%
Better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.
Smitty, totally agree.
Ashli Babbitt was shot because she was the point of a violent mob. The mob is the weapon and breaking through the barrier is the proof of violent intent. So the precedence is set. It is reasonable to fear for your life in the presence of a violent mob and reasonable to defend yourself if you fear for your life.
Dale: How was the mob violent? Why is it, the very one who instigated the 6 Jan break-in (assisted by the police who opened doors) is walking free? There were antifa thugs instigating and wearing MAGA hats. Pelosi claims her laptop was stolen, but investigation by the ins company said she’s guilty of fraud. niio
Just remember cops are there to keep you safe and you all love the thin blue line
Smitty: You’re on 100% and Amen. niio
Not really a fan of the term law abiding citizen. Makes you a government loyalist.
Granted nobody here has ever killed anything so it’s funny to read how you do it.
Raven, I swatted a fly once, does that count?
Michael, maybe you and Kay should get together, you both seem desperate for attention from others and are willing to be antagonistic to get it… sad.
my answer to how to determine if someone is ignorant, lying and/or making false accusations, or just being antagonistic is:
situational awareness followed up by honest research and assessment, you might want to try it sometime, who knows, you might find it “usefull”, but as I always profess, everyone has to determine what is best for themselves.
Now if you’ll excuse me I’m going to do a little research into the “dark side” by putting on some rose colored glasses, heading off to a cry room, bury myself in cuddly stuffed animals, and choke down some of the Libtard propaganda Kool-Aid flavor of the day.

Sagebrush Lin:
I think hawthorn is a member of the Apple family. That’s maybe why it’s been growing back so prolifically when you prune it. The haws are edible and used in New England to make a rosy pink jelly.

Miss Kitty, Thank you for the informative link. The link points out that the seeds of the Hawthorn have cyanide in them so I need to keep the dog away from the berries. She seems to enjoy munching on them.
I daily take a hawthorn herbal mix in a capsule for circulatory support. I buy it ready made as I don’t know how process it. It is fabulous stuff as it has made a real difference for me.
Everything in the apple family, the seeds have cyanide. niio
Miz Kitty: OK, now I see about the seeds. But, cooking destroys cyanide. Is supposed to, there’s an exception for everything. No one I know ever had a problem with it. Dogs, no idea, but everything like hawthorn! niio
Regarding the cyanide in Hawthorn, I looked at various sources. Those who go by the technical knowledge will mention the cyanide as a danger but those who actual have been ingesting the seeds (and some for years) have never found them to be a problem. The Australian Shepard that I have has eaten a few every once in while for a couple of weeks now, has not shown any effect. She still rips and tears around the yard and shows no effect.
I picked a bunch of the berries today and put them in the dehydrator. There seems to be enough evidence that tea made from the berries is a good cardiovascular support.

MissKitty, thank you for the excellent link “eattheweeds.com”, please post more. I add these to my digital library.
https://newswithviews.com/biological-warfare-and-the-new-world-order/
dz: no, Gonzalez is not following history. Germ warfare was always common in Asia and in Europe. The chicoms found Japans plague labs and were going to burn them, but scientists sent by Stalin (all of them were nazis) stopped it. chicoms have to qualms against using entire cities as lab rats. It’s thought the Hong Kong flu was their first venture outside the nation.
Red, I just browsed that article again and Gonzales did not profess any historical origination of biological warfare, which was used many centuries ago by many aggressors such as when the Mongols would approach a fortified position and demand tribute, and when refused they often lobbed contaminated animals and corpses over the fortification into the enemy position, then sat back and let the plagues do the work. The main context of the article is to point out the USA has a long history of using bio-weapons on “enemies”, such as smallpox infected blankets and rancid food given to the the native peoples, as well as many decades of conducting biological experiments on the general population, so how do we put a permanent end to it? What would happen if the perpetrators were all subjected to the same experiments they are imposing on innocent people, and also subjected to the same vile experiments such as Fauci supported to be conducted on beagle puppies? If they were held accountable and also subjected to the same risks and harm as they dish out, maybe that would send a loud and clear message to cease and desist with the bio-experiments.

Scraping the Bottom of the Barrel
by Devvy
November 12, 2021
Have you been watching coverage of the Kyle Rittenhouse murder trial? The now 18-year-old took the stand last Wednesday in his own defense. At the time of the rioting, looting and burning of Kenosha, Kyle was 17. His intention wasn’t to kill anyone, it was to help protect local businesses from the human garbage terrorizing their city, burning local businesses and injuring the innocent. Black Lies Movement & ANTIFA Fascists are the real domestic terrorists.
The prosecution’s case blew up when their star witness admitted under oath, he had his gun pointed right at Kyle and intended to shoot him. Rittenhouse literally blew most of Gaige Grosskreutz arm off in self-defense. In a move of desperation while cross-examining Rittenhouse, the persecutor, er, prosecutor, crossed the line and Judge Schroeder chewed his backside in a stunning fashion. High theater for sure.
Legal scholars believe prosecutor, Binger, deliberately crossed the line in order to force a mistrial since they know they’re losing the case. And the reaction to this trial by the prostitute media? Rittenhouse is a white supremacist (he shot three white males), a murderer, his legal team is doing whatever they can to save a losing case – including – get this: Force Kyle to breakdown on the stand and cry. Kyle did – while he explained a mob was coming for him, starting to surround him and he was justifiably terrified for his life.
Thursday after another brutal failure by the prosecution, CBS brazenly tweeted Kyle testified: “…breaking down in tears as he told the jury he murdered two men…” My mouth dropped open when I read that tweet. Rittenhouse never said that and in fact continued throughout his testimony said he acted only in self-defense. All the videos have shown that to be FACT which is why this trial is nothing but a political boondoggle to appease thugs who are now threatening to do more damage if Rittenhouse isn’t found guilty.
CBS has not only just opened the door to a major libelous lawsuit, I imagine the judge went ballistic when he saw that tweet and you can bet the defense has made sure he has. Unbelievable, which is why independent media like NWVs is so important for our country.
The truth has been bubbling to the top due to Durham’s latest arrest in the Russia, Russia, Russia collusion conspiracy. Vindicated: Trump and tens of millions of Americans. Who conspired with Russia? Hildebeast Clinton and there’s no place left for her to hide. Mockingbird media’s response? Crickets.
They want him to be released so they can riot

2000+ Survival Uses for Everyday Items
https://homesteadsurvivalsite.com/survival-uses-everyday-items/
dz The posting on this site for hydrogen peroxide is interesting because the vintage bottle label notes that it’s “not explosive”. It makes me wonder if earlier formulations were a little dangerous. A man I knew, who lived to be 97, gargled regularly with a diluted mix of hydrogen peroxide. He did a great deal of world travel and was exposed to everything out there. Whenever he felt a tinge of a sore throat, he would be in there gargling. He didn’t use the food grade version either.
Hey, askarepper folks; I’m sorry but I won’t be participating in comments until you find a way to get rid of junk spammers like dz and others. This has made your site useless as a community.

Interesting article with some good ideas for surviving a short amount of time in a minor temporary scenario.
But in a “Worst Case Scenario”?
If you have enough money & time to finish it…a bugout location should be 100% invisible…underground. Think “Mars Mission”…3 years, mostly underground.
In a SHTF WCS…long term survivors (your children) are the future.
J. Quest, I asked Raven to loan me $500K so I could buy several acres of suitable land, have two functional potable water wells dug, and build a concrete house that includes an underground “root cellar/bunker” but he didn’t reply. Would you loan me $500K for this project?
This is the best blog I have seen so far
In Ohio, NOW, we can shoot looters, so the next time someone comes into my store to loot as they did several years ago, I will shoot a warning shot first and then if they still come in, they will never go into another store again. I am sick of the excuses. You want reparations? Work harder!
Why bother with a warning shot
I think your doing a great job keep it up
