I've done a lot of research into USA's tent cities. We are at the tip of the iceberg now - there will be whole suburbs of empty boarded up homes soon. People will squat in them & most Police will soon get sick of evicting people.
When riots start they will be feriouciously put down, so it will be wise to have a lot of food & water stock-piles & things like soap, razors to trade with others - yes its going to get that bad!!!
We are witnessing the beginning of the end, & if riots get too bad there will be another "terrorist attack" to take away the rest of everyone's rights.
