when does a preper become a raider

[grumpy old man]

when you do have children you views change on most things. self persevation becomes more important because if you die who's going to keep you kids safe. mike down the road?
only you and the other parent will.
the thing about running with the crowd is when the foods been eat and the weakest has lost their stuff and dead.
who does the crowd turn on? at some point they will look at you.
you have to stay with your own kind of people, i would fight to the last man while i had help because when i am the last man it's harder.
in the riots that just happened how many people used aggresstion and force to protect their stuff?
just leave it to plod or some one else and that was just kids.
when it's the last bit of food it will be harder and when the foods gone how many people will turn to canabilism.
the stakes get higher if your the raider you have to go in hard and hevay and leave no one standing alive. if your the preper you have to repell all attacks and leave no raider standing.
remember it would not just be your food they take but hurt your family, wife and kids. there would be no law just are own.
