Can we have a discussion about riots, violent mobs, and self-defense? I am legit terrified by recent events

After watching the recent videos of the attacks in Berkeley, I would really like to have a discussion on what the best practices of avoiding these groups would be. I know the first step would be to not go anywhere near these demonstrations, but what if it is something more sudden, such as a highway blockade, or worse, in your neighborhood?Specific questions would be:Whats the best way to escape if surrounded?How do you deal with a dozen or more people in black masks with bats/clubs?What happens if you have to draw on them? via /r/CCW http://ift.tt/2km2LLG
