I saw this posted on SHTFPlan.com and thought it was worth repeating.  The poster who posted it there got it in an email.

We live in an "upside-down world."

You know you live in an Upside-Down World if . . .

You know you live in an Upside-Down World if . . .

Agree Thundely,, but you just Ain't seen nothing yet.   Just wait until all this becomes PESONAL.

So far all this happens to OTHERS, Wait until this world comes a knocking at your door.  How to handle this ???

So far none of us on this forum have had a child kidnapped and murdered, had a home invasion or been arrested for a crime that was mistaken identity.    No one I see has reported a child out of controll or one they are afraid of.

To us this is upside down for others but when the Police come to the door of the innocent, lives change.

Really life kicks in, the things we ignore or do not want to believe.  We can sit back and shake our heads over the outsiders crimes but when it hits close to home, we who yelled " Hang the Ba*tards "now cry for Mercury for our own.

Wasn't arrested but was questioned pertaining to a double homicide that occurred a couple days prior. fortunately for me I had paperwork establishing I was in Frankfort Germany on the night of the Murders, ETS orders and Ticket stubs for flights from Frankfort to Philly PA to Denver CO to Minneapolis MN to Fargo , ND.

Twas rather scary in that a composite drawing of one of the suspects posted in a local paper looked a lot like me.
