Well that’s interesting. The Secret Service is meeting with prison officials. They are hammering out the logistics and procedures for imprisoning a former President. Looks like some people are now thinking the “unthinkable.”
There’s no guarantee that Trump will be imprisoned, but plans are being make just in case. This will be the first time a convicted felon has Secret Service protection. I would not like to be one of those guys. Spending one’s days protecting someone in prison is a far cry from wandering around in the sun on a golf course.
One of the main concerns is how the country will react. One of the reasons for this blog is to prepare for disasters. Civil unrest is one of those concerns. So the questions is: how will Trump’s supporters react? Will a million people in red hats take up arms?
I don’t think so. That’s not so say that there won’t be some individuals or small groups acting out. However, it appears that any uprising will be well within regular law enforcement’s capabilities. What’s more like likely is nasty posts online. The fact that so many January 6th participants have ended up in jail is a deterrent also.
So from a civil threat standpoint I give reactions to jail time as a low level threat.

Time will tell 6 Bears. I'm pretty sure the distraught Arab setting himself on fire over the unaffordability of food was the cause of the Arab Spring.
ReplyDeleteLot of stressors out there. How many more straws can the camel take?
I'd suggest a deep larder, and emergency power as both systems are easily damaged-crippled and too widespread to protect.
More set aside than for a large nor'easter, buddy. A lot more friend.
While not super worried I am prepared to go the distance. A deep larder and solar power provide comfort.
