Can we all say "Dog Whistle" here. How about we all prepare as though we'll have another Las Vegas shooter or some nutjob kid wearing a MAGA hat shoots up a school full of your kids or churches. That is more likely what you'll face. The LA Riots were 22 years ago and Katrina was 13 years ago. How many mass shooting and other domestic terrorist event have happen since? Its that selective inference that fuels a skewed narrative of the real danger in this country.
Points for being outside the echo chamber.... At least the GCGF one.
Obesity, Alcohol, texting/driving are all a much greater threat than your active shooter/domestic terrorism scenario. Those don't make for great headlines so we're going to talk about mass shootings all the time.
Because something happened a long time ago, is it no longer a threat? While I agree that you should spend more of your time preparing for the things that are more likely to happen, I'm not going to knock someone for their own prep. Everyone's got their own ORM matrix.
The Riots and Katrina were awhile ago but they had a huge impact on way more people. You don't think another katrina is a possibility? We're 2 months away from hurricane season. Insurance is a waste of money... Until you need it.
How many mass shootings and domestic terrorism events have their been since the Riots? Katrina? I'm interested in which data you're going off of.
What IS the real danger in this country?
Everyone's got their own skew.
