39 Should you take up arms? In times of social chaos, the “neighborhood watch” concept must be taken a step farther. Remember that during the LA Riots after the Rodney King verdict, armed Korean shopkeepers stood on their shops and brandished weapons, prepared to use force to protect themselves and their livelihoods. You may need to consider establishing armed neighborhood patrols during such a scenario. Just make sure your armed patrol isn’t made up of hotheads, and remember that you aren’t the ones in authority if the military or the police show up to set up camp. Submitted by Don, Melbourne Watching your neighborhood! BEFORE an emergency, a traditional neighborhood watch program is the perfect way to get your neighborhood networked and get to know those in your community. The mere presence of people who are willing to step up and say something if they observe suspicious activity is usually enough to decrease crime. It isn’t enough to stare out a window, though; you need neighbors who are willing to get to know each other, patrol the local area, and make sure their presence is obvious. This will help deter crime on a day to day basis. Submitted by Jason, Hornell, NY #58 #59
