Depends on if I have to go to work the next day or not. I don't really have anywhere to bug out to except my hunting lease an hour east of OKC, so I'd prob just sit at home till it got real bad and hope I could drive out of town.
I have seen the opposite. I feel like there is less tension there, then in Oklahoma. As far as guns and ammo. All of the people from across the river in little Russia come over to buy. You have to have an ammo card to buy in Illinois. They just drive across the bridge and buy in STL. I am talking to people in STL every night. They do not plan on letting it move out of North County. The people there are sick of putting up with North County and do not want it to spread. STL as a whole, has a lot of poor people. The economy has not been real good there for several years. I talked to my cousin's husband "who is black" a couple of nights ago. He just said that "The NC is just acting like the NC". He was one of the first people that told me to stay the hell out of North County years ago.I think St Louis is lucky it didn't get bigger. The north side of the county and the east suburbs across the river in Illinois has a larger population of poor and black folks. I point this out only because St. Louis has more notable racial tension than any city I've been in

I am tired of seeing the media using another chance to make everything about race.
I think people all over STL "of every color" are going to protect what is theirs. From the LEO and the thugs.
You are right that the economy up there sucks. Couldn't pay me enough to move back to STL which is sad because the area is nice (in a hills/trees sort of way).
We live in the country but within 25 miles of Tulsa and two miles from Coweta. I'd stay home because, like BB, it's home and that's where I think we should be. I simply can't believe anything like this would ever happen in Coweta...but ya never know. And if it happened in Tulsa there's no guarantee that some boob on their way to the fracas wouldn't randomly stop by for a warmup fight. But they would quickly find out that Bulldog don't whip easy and he never gives up.
Like you im kinda outside the city zone. Its the escalation part that I worry about. Using Ferguson as the example. Relatively small section of a bigger city. Sure the riot and looting "could" spread and be contained, even if it spread to greater St. Louis, Leo's and NG could contain it.
It was the "other" potential accidental escalation I worried most about. What if the crowd of protesters was fired into. How would America react? Theres tons of video footage of Law Enforcement aiming firearms at peaceful crowds.....law enforcement aint exempt from the real possibility of a discharge, accidental or intentional.
The other thing was citizens reacting to officers. If citizens would have fired on officers and officers returned fire by fireing into crowds. Glad it didnt happen but I think it was a very resl possibility.
Thats what concerned me, that kinda escalation. Not sure how America would have reacted or how Missouri would have reacted.
If this escalated into a city wide or State/regional thing, not sure how Americans would react. And im of the opinion, this is a real life example of how S could htf.
