The History Of The Prepper Paradise Known As The CitadelEric Lach January 22, 2013, 6:10 AM
Imagine living in a community where you know that residing in every single home in the neighborhood are people who think much as do you, respect most of the values as do you, and will not try to force any of their values on you or your children, another post from October on The Citadels blog, this one written by someone with the pseudonym Just a III Guy, reads. Imagine living in a neighborhood where you know every single neighbor on your street, in your neighborhood, and in the entire town, has qualified Riflemen inside, ready to come to your aid at a moments notice, whether to help you change a tire, fix a problem, or cover your back in a firefight with an Enemy of Liberty.

Call me crazy, but if my neighbors shared most of my values and thoughts, why would I be worried about them trying to "force" any of them on me?

(5,420 posts)I imagine those perimeter houses will be tasked with being first defense so they will need to be armed at all times.
I hope they succeed and build a dozen more.
You don't have to corral the fools if they corral themselves like this. Perfect.
I'm sure it won't take long for High Noon to arrive at the barracks. They will be shooting it out amongst themselves in no time. lol

Last I checked, I'm pretty sure bullets cause flat tires, not the other way around.

I imagine it'll be the same with the citizens. You'll note there are no hospitals or clinics noted on the map...

I think I've given this plan more thought than the planners

It's actually all a Buckaroo Banzai in-joke: The John Smallberries farmer's market, the John Bigbooty (boo-tay. TAY!) town center, and the John Yaya firearms museum.

(39,961 posts)it wouldn't last a week before there would be a massive shootout. All it would take would be the addition of some alcohol and a few hot-tempered individuals and they would get the war they appear to be preparing for, except it will be within the walls not outside of them.
