Gangs and Looters in a 90-Day Blackout: 20 Things I'd Do Before They Reach My Street

Know exactly what to do when the power goes out, the complete plan I put together 👉 https://www.raysutter.com/ 315-page illustrated guide · $47 · 30-day money-back, no questions. In a long grid-down, looting doesn't stay at the stores. In the July 1977 New York blackout, more than 1,600 stores were looted or damaged and about 3,700 people were arrested in roughly 25 hours. After Hurricane Maria in 2017, parts of Puerto Rico stayed dark for months, police were stretched thin, and neighbors organized their own night watches. In this video, Ray walks through how looting builds during a 90-day blackout — opportunists hitting stores in the first days, groups checking homes in weeks two and three, and organized gangs in months two and three who know who prepared — and gives 20 things to do now so your house is the hard, quiet one they pass. No guns needed. Every item is about not being chosen as a target: • Hiding supplies — split stockpile, decoy stash, hidden caches • Hardening the house — door viewer, 3-inch strike-plate screws, door reinforcement, sliding-door bars, security window film, thorny plants, motion-sensor solar lights • Staying unnoticed — blackout curtains, cooking smells, generator noise, trash discipline, nothing visible from the curb, keeping quiet about supplies • Working with neighbors — radios and signals, shared lookouts, one way in, a street watch roster Written for people 55 and older who need a plan that works at home, with normal hands and a normal budget. Laws on door hardware, road access and self-defense vary — check your state and your city.
