Thanks for that.
Many people will die because they will hang on to the believe that people are civilized and sooner or latter the ‘authorities’ will come along and set things right. Well yeah, but nowhere near as fast as they think how quickly the forget look at Katrina, look at your own experience.
Anyone who believes that we live in a time that a major modern city with educated advanced western civilization can not be brought to its knees and turned into a dog eat dog world take a look at this:

This is why I moved to central, rural KY. No cities near us. They will have to forrage their way through 80 miles of people like me to get to me. It will significantly cull the herd.
There was a mini-series about nuclear war about 20 years ago that had a scene that made a lasting impression on me. The family had survived the attack and had a large beef ranch in the middle of nowhere and horses to get around. They were doing pretty well. Then dad rode up on a small family at the edge of his property bbqing one of his cattle. He really wasn’t going to chastise them or anything, knowing what the score was, but as he rode up and started to ask them where they were from, the head of that family pulled up a rifle and shot him off his horse, dead.
If SHTF really happened, you’d want to get most of your lessons about how to deal with strangers from that old movie, Road Warrior, and hope you have more ammo and are a better shot than the rest of them.
But I don’t think that is the way it would go down. In small countries like Zimbabwe, maybe. Our government is too big. It will be more like how the bible describes it, IMO. The government will be supreme, rather than non-existent.
