This!
I think at this point the best option is to leave. Having a family that depends on you not just today but many tomorrow's will change a person. Sure, I could post up and defend mine against the best of them, and there were times in my life when I probably would have without second thought, but if you do this in these days you lose. Your "stand" might make you a hero in some eyes, especially in these parts, but you'll be more of a martyr than a hero in real life - YOUR life as you knew it would be over.
If this keeps escalating into some sort of revolution of the left, I'm afraid we will see a breakdown in society at some point. Then, and only then would any force necessary be an appropriate response to defend what's yours unless there is a very clear and obvious threat to your or your families lives. A looting, rioting mob doesn't fit that threat level in the eyes of some that will prosecute you, in more ways than one.
All IMHO, of course.
@churchmouse, I hope you can see that I'm not trying to start trouble. I think I may have done the opposite here. Maybe at least one member will read this thread and then give it a little more thought than the easy "I'll take them all out" frame of mind. It's much much more complicated than that whether we like it or not.
As stated before by members smarter than I, you yused the word riot and mantioned molitov coctails. As I said earlier I have no problem with peaceful assembly for redress of grievances.
What you describe is felonious activity which puts me in danger of serious bodily harm or death.
I have no duty to retreat per Runyon v State.
