No apology needed! I liked your write up; it just inspired me to take the analysis a little deeper. Since I do IT work for a living, and data backup/disaster recovery/business continuity is such an important part of my scope of work, it jumped out at me for inclusion here.

I know most of you are prepared and think about this sort of thing...but we do have new members daily, and lurkers who never join...just wanted to get my thoughts down for those who may not have considered what is needed to be prepared for an event like a riot.

I agree w not risking your life over your business, if your insurance is good; BUT ... a couple of things to think about:

Business interruption - if your business shuts down for 3 months because the building, your inventory, etc are gone: what happens to your client base? Your cash flow? It's possible to get insurance for loss of business continuity.

Data: many, many business either have no data backup, unreliable data backup, or no *offsite* storage of those backups. You should hire a separate IT shop to cone in and audit your IT infrastructure to see what'd be required to recover from a disaster.

I think you're right, odds are good there'll be plenty of unrest. I guess I'll stock up on shotgun shells, food & water :-/

I plan to send my wife and family to the country while I stay at home. I will have enough food/water for a week at minimum. (I already have much more, but for advise-sake)

I wouldn't be surprised if there was a loss of power or services if things get really out of control.

In addition to the food/water, the other items to ensure you have (IMO):

1) Fire extinguishers <- I am going to buy commercial grade... good to have regardless!
2) Self and home defense items
3) First aid items
4) Lighting & batteries, and/or power generator if you have it
The height of the L.A. rioting was a couple of days. The entire ordeal was longer than that. I was there.

I agree... That's why being prepared for a while is the smart thing to do. That's my plan anyway.

This could potentially be a national crisis. I think people are so angry and divided, and this issue is the exact kind of issue that would set the tinder box on fire. Leftist, socialist policies have created such angst among those who see themselves as "have-nots" that when given a decent excuse, in their mind, to get revenge or 'take what is theirs' (in their mind), they'll do it. I'm convinced of that.

Does anyone know or have any educated guesses what the timeline may look like for this trial?
