The only thing that will work for preppers in high pop. areas is an alliance with other preppers...but it has to be a neighborhood alliance. Even that will be iffy.

The mobs from the 'gimme people' will be the first to perish. They will plunder their own first out of desperation. By the time they run out of plunder and they hit the inner suburbs for those neigborhoods the word will be out and won't end well for the zombies..

I live in an area with a tiny (one percent) minority population. Plus, almost all of them live in concentrated areas in the nearest "big" city about fifteen miles away from me. Before any of them could get too far to pillage and kill, they'd be shot down by the many non-minority residents who are armed. A lot of people have guns where I live.

It's the people who live in big cities with large populations of gibsmedats who would be in severe trouble. However, if they get to the more conservative (and armed) suburbs, the mobs again will be in big trouble. But that's also assuming there will be a complete breakdown of the authorities.

In the end, I doubt even with a major power breakdown, that mobs will be able to get too far. Even with the major power breakdown, most whites (at least in conservative areas) would band together to help each other and shoot savages of whatever color. I do not see a case where it's every citizen for him or herself.

if SHTF, certain groups will be all about rape...it'll be their highest priority...not food...not water...not shelter...just rape....and it won't be of their own community...it'll be anyone caught still in the city or near enough to get to....

saving yourself from this will be the first priority...
