I mean, if you stay in your house you aren't going to be harmed, it's only the people who actively protest...aka...radicals on radicals till the military steps in and turns up on the radicals...most of the normal people aren't going to go outside.
Military is not fit for anti-riot operations, sadly. It is a serious matter, can be dealt only by special law enforcement services who received special trainings, equipment and is tied with other special services, intel-based ones. Military is simply a force for intimidation in such scenarios - armed soldier of the Army can only wave rifle at them, and nothing else (or at least return fire at them, but this will become far different situation). Seen this before, as protesters did anything they wanted with the military standing around the hot streets and those didn't responded with any adequate force - because they have none. But we are probably past the point, where intimidation might work on radicals. It takes special people to put down riots, and there's another problem and weakness: their fatigueness. They all people, they always needed 24/7 on place, running on streets in heavy gear and holding a line. Eventually, they will fall down to fatigue, as their numbers are not really high. And what's next?
Those who are trying to "wait it out" are most likely to become the victims, most recent of such scenarios shown that clearly. It's hard to stay unharmed when your home is about to become a battlefield or a source of valuables for others (be it loot or You). When this unrolls further it'll become a mess where civilian populace simply cannot exist and survive. Power outages and blackouts, hospital overloads and medicine will quickly crumble (as post-Soviet countries with their remained medical system for every citizen and developed civil protection systems on much lesser scale scenarions shown. For the US it will become much worse. and plus there's this pandemic again) And it will take a lot of time for wartime-grade medical system to get to work and accept citizens (if they will to). Not much people will die due to bullets, strikes or any sort of violence - the majority of numbers will consist of those who just tried to stay out of it and even if they won't face any violence - chances to survive are not high at all, because the environment around them will become unbearable to be in. Volunteers organization indeed will be there, and they are the only hope for them, but they don't have capacity for everyone.
As the detailed analysis made on Syrian and Ukraine scenarios shown: Brave solo survivalists will fall first, they have near-zero chances of survival unless they change their approach. Survivalist groups will become quickly targeted by factions - be they neutral or eventually they will descend to being marauders and antagonize everyone around them, does not matter, it's just that the land is not big enough to hold both them and big factions. Only government or militant-based people managed to survive in Syria and Donbass scenarios. Others either died or fled, and who didn't (sick people, old people or other reasons) are only suffering, as they have no use for anyone. Those who have family, or possess valuable skills (for example medical ones or mechanical, like capable of car repairs - everything like this is super valuable to have in organization. They will make such people work for them or get rid of) - are first to flee if they have opportunity to, if don't, their best bet to put themselves into service of one of the factions, to become valuable asset. As examples shown, these factions will even take this person family into their care, for his fruitful service and labor - quite an alright deal for them in no-way-out scenario. Well, i'm talking too much, yet it is a big topic, a quite interesting one, maybe i'll add something on it later...
