Do you not live in the USA? American police murdering black people with no consequences is a thing. Hell, they don't even need to be from the soith. If the person is mentally ill that gives them even more justification for their "HE WAS HULKING OUT AND COMING RIGHT AT US" defense.

Why would I edit it? I don't personally believe that poo poo and cops get away with killing black people using that exact excuse. Sadly a lot of people believe them. The confessor's concern that the police in a small southern town would kill some mentally challenged black person who wants to die is valid.

quote:

I am starting to become extremely paranoid about an upcoming revolution.  I have been stockpiling weapons in my house and have installed security cameras all around my house and I watch the feed nearly constantly.  Whenever the doorbell rings I put on my legally purchased kevlar vest, grab a gun, and only talk through the mail slot.

I still manage to function at work, although I carry a concealed handgun at all times despite not having a permit.  I am convinced the government is going to try and take me out because I know too much so if I even hear a twig crack at night I find myself putting my armor on and staring out my windows for an hour or more until I'm convinced nobody is really there.  Naturally this is messing with my sleep schedule.

I don't know why I keep buying guns considering I can only use one or two at a time, but they make me feel safe.  So far I have 4 shotguns including my favorite semi-auto one that cost around 1600 dollars, two AR15s, and 3 handguns (one .357 magnum revolver, one 1911 45 acp, one 44 magnum semiauto).  I have thousands of rounds of ammunition and feel like I'm ready for anything, but at the same time I am always looking over my shoulder.

I think the only solution is to build a secure impenetrable "bunker" type structure to sleep in so I can at least sleep at night, but the cost seems prohibitive.  Since that's probably not positive I feel compelled to just buy more and more powerful guns and fortify my house.  I've considered boarding up my windows but I do like the sunlight and it would kind of openly advertise that I'm worried about something and make me more of a target.

Honestly dude if I were you I'd take comfort in obscurity

Remember, you are not worth sending a task force that could take out your meager security. How much could you possibly "know" that it's worth expending the effort to kill you rather than just letting everybody assume you're a crackpot (which is a pretty believable idea honestly)

Update on the self-harming goonfriend from earlier:

quote:

Oh my god shut up about the whole police debate. It's not a banana republic, it's Oklahoma, and the reason I thought police might kill her is because she said she would go at them with a knife and try on purpose to get them to shoot her. With all the articles about 'cop kills black person, gets paid leave' she keeps spamming everywhere to justify her fear, I was hesitant to do the usually 100% correct answer of calling the cops and letting them shove her in a mental ward.

Anyway the mentally ill person didn't kill themselves, they're in the hospital, and I'm trying to figure out how I'm gonna sever (or at least distance myself) from this emotional trainwreck of a person in a way that doesn't cause them to become a crazy stalker rear end in a top hat. The reason I haven't ditched her rear end already is because we've known each other since we were five but this is just another incident in a long line of lovely incidents that I've kinda grown tired of dealing with.

It's not illegal to purchase a vest in most states if you are not a felon. The real issue is the mention of a semi auto 44 mag.
No real prepper would buy a deagle. Try again.

Paranoid gun nut: How much training do you have on yoir firearms? Do you regularly go to the range and practice? How about any kind of obstacle course or high stress firearm training? Have you ever been in a firefight and If so when was the last? If the answer to those questions is "no" or "none" then congratulations on being a massive threat to yourself and everyone around you. Even if you find yourself in a situation that calls for force you will most likely freeze up, kill yourself, or an innocent bystander. I'm also assuming you are a fat piece of poo poo that doesn't exercise and would pass out after carrying a combat load a mile.

All you've done is create a stockpile of weapons and ammunition for whomever takes you out when the revolution comes.

No one is coming for you and if the government wanted to take you out they would just need to wait until you accidentally do it yourself.

But hey, at least you have your safety blankets while you suck on your thumb in fear.

How can anyone believe that the government simultaneously has the will and resources to monitor every paranoid idiot but somehow would be defeated by that one idiot and his gun collection? If you somehow shoot one cop through the door, why would the evil globalists give up?? One SWAT team would steamroll any prepper so it's a waste of time.

Good thing you have that Kevlar vest when the SWAT team is using AR-15s. Kevlar won't do poo poo for anything more powerful than a pistol.

Here's another fun fact - Kevlar fibers break down overtime and the vest will lose its effectiveness. If it's more than 5 years old it's probably useless, just like the rest of your "prepping".

e: Also, people always forget that SWAT likes to use things like tear gas and flash bangs. You could have the best armor and the best gun, but if you can't see and can't breathe you automatically lose. Preppers are dumb.

My favorite thing about SWAT is that they don't even have to fight you. You're gonna feel real dumb when they cut off your utilities and you surrender mere hours later because you know you don't have enough food and water to last any meaningful amount of time. Even if you have supplies, you have to sleep eventually. Good luck :)

I was so focused on the prepping I forgot this detail:

Any halfway competent military or SWAT team could roflstomp a prepper. Even a single policeman with an IQ in the triple digits would come out on top. I think that most preppers aren't intending to fight the gummint, but rather the hordes of starving raiders who come after the SHTF, coming to steal all your tinned food, toilet paper and gold bars.

Of course, after their Patriot Pantry vacuum-sealed beans run out, they'll be joining the raiders.
