"I personally welcome the days ahead and fully expect them to be much worse than what the videos in your thread portray!"
"...it'll be an amazing sight to see and an even more amazing time to live through."
July 1, 2020 - Facing pressure from thousands of constituents calling to defund the police, New York City slashed $1 billion from the police budget. But some city lawmakers -- and the protesters calling for change -- think the cuts weren't sweeping enough.

Hello ATS,
Watching videos of the aftermath of the Buffalo, NY snowstorm (the second one in two weeks) has given me a glimpse into what would happen in a total collapse. Widespread looting, almost no police intervention and people cheering it on. Mob mentality. Here are a few examples from YouTube.
It goes on and on. Just search looting in Buffalo and see for yourself.
My advice is to make sure you have some food and water on hand so you don't need to be out in these conditions. It probably isn't a bad idea to have some form of self defense if when the stores are cleared and there are still looters around. If they are willing to break the law in this way, they will break into your house. The police will be nowhere to find because they are also protecting their house.
Stay safe and always remember 9/10 people are honest, hard working and just want to get to the next birthday.

This might have something to do with the rising crime rate that's not just happening in N.Y., but sweeping the nation:

Wait. What?
This is also driven by the feminist movement. You can't fix these problems by raising the minimum wage; no matter what you set the minimum at; it's always the minimum; so all you do is take purchasing power away from everyone who wasn't being paid the minimum. The cost of goods will rise to compensate for the higher minimums.
This is what happens when women and simps cry about pay gaps [when it has nothing to do with sex, and everything to do with them doing jobs that pay less] this is what happens when democrats think they can solve the problem by mandating higher minimum wages. Talking about the cost of living increasing, and pointing out the obvious; that the wages aren't increasing at the same proportions. The answer isn't to get people higher wages, because that drives the price of good up even higher.

I think that we're likely seeing II Thessalonians 2:1-12 coming to fruition. I've always beloved that the "man of lawlessness" didn't refer to one specific being, but a spirit of lawlessness in humankind.
