Author of How to Prep When You’re Broke and Bloom Where You’re Planted online course Last night I got a text message from my daughter, who works in a very upscale restaurant in a downtown North Carolina city. She sent a video (which I have no idea how to upload – sorry) and said there were more protesters outside than she had ever seen. As night began to fall, the protestors grew louder. Popping sounds were everywhere. So were the police, she told me, every few feet between the protestors and the downtown businesses. Multiple streets had to be shut down as “hundreds” to “thousands” of protesters took them over. (Depending which news agency you trust with the numbers.) As a downtown employee, my daughter is not a newbie to protests occurring outside the restaurant window. But this time, she said, it was very different. There were more people than she’d ever seen and it was just a Wednesday night. Wisely, instead of walking home like she generally does, she opted to sleep over at a coworker’s place in a high-rise only steps away from where she works. She said they made it there with no trouble whatsoever but both girls were extremely relieved to get inside. One thing struck me. It’s only Wednesday. The “No Kings” protests are scheduled nationwide on Saturday, not coincidentally, the same time as President Trump’s long-awaited Grand Military Parade to celebrate the 250th birthday of the US Army. Please note that this article is not a “prediction.” I didn’t peer into my crystal ball before writing it. I’m sharing what is already occurring and what is scheduled to occur. There is a definite trend of violence right now, and things like that are contagious. That trend could easily spread across the country, even into places where we don’t expect it. What’s happened so far In downtown Los Angeles, all hell has broken loose. Cars and structures are burning while people pelt police with rocks, bricks, and firebombs. Stores are being looted. Property is being destroyed. Federal agents are being targeted. Foreign flags are being waved in the midst of it all. T he chaos was allowed to happen with little resistance until the President stepped in and deployed members of the National Guard to the city to keep the peace. This has been followed by 700 U.S. Marines deployed to the city. Here are a few clips from those “peaceful protests.” If it wasn’t for ?.

What exactly is peaceful here? pic.twitter.com/mLnX0xNrvj — Liberty Pill Memes (@LibertyPillMeme) June 11, 2025 Further violence has been reported in other cities, such as San Francisco, New York City, Dallas, San Antonio, Austin, Chicago, Atlanta, and Philadelphia. Don’t worry, protesters are also taking care of those pesky Adidas and Apple stores, too. In many of these events, federal officers have been directly targeted, cars set on fire, rocks thrown at law enforcement, and Molotov cocktails deployed. What to expect on Saturday On Saturday, “No Kings” rallies are scheduled nationwide. Just look at this map. To find out if there are protests in your area, you can go here and put in your zip code to zoom in and get the locations to avoid. While I urge you to expect violence and be prepared for that, we can hope that common sense prevails in most of the country, and the protests are peaceful and constitutional. It only takes one person on a payroll (and yes, see the video below – people ARE being paid to be there) to kick off violence between law enforcement and protestors. It’s not that difficult to incite violence. Someone in the crowd makes a dangerously aggressive move that causes law enforcement to respond harshly. Actual innocent protesters find themselves under attack by law enforcement and fight back. Match, meet gasoline. Please remember – protesting is protected under the United States Constitution. There are lawful and peaceful ways to make yourself heard. Just because there is a protest, it doesn’t mean that the people there all have violent intentions. I remember being an idealistic 20-something. Maybe what I thought was “best” then was colored by naivety, but I remember the feeling of “someone has to do something.” Now, if a protester is being violent and attacking passersby, that’s an entirely different matter. Just use your discernment to figure out what’s really occurring. How to prep for it In the wise words of Selco, the best way to stay safe is, “Don’t be there.” Unfortunately, in cases such as my daughter’s, that isn’t always possible. If you’re at work and the situation erupts around you, you may find yourself “there” and you have to handle it the best way you know how. Just because a protest is scheduled near you or someone you love, it’s not guaranteed to be violent and dangerous. However, it appears that there are numerous agitators scattered throughout, including individuals who are not here legally, who are determined to turn a march into a battle. Here are some links to help you get prepared for the days ahead. Check out Selco’s comprehensive webinar, Civil Unrest and Riots, for a thorough, inside look at mob mentality and survival tactics.

It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” He wasn’t the only Founding Father to hold this view. Indeed, James Madison wrote that our Constitution requires “sufficient virtue among men for self-government,” otherwise, “nothing less than the chains of despotism can restrain them from destroying and devouring one another.” 2 Thess 3:10 NAB translation "In fact, when we were with you, we instructed you that if anyone was unwilling to work, neither should that one eat."
