Don’t know who the guy is, but most of what he wrote makes sense.

Without electricity, heap big trouble Kemosabe.

I suspect the reason it didn’t turn really ugly in DC is because the LEO presence there is massive.

In Cleveland, Detroit, or Chicago it likely would have been pretty out of control.

“I suspect the reason it didn’t turn really ugly in DC is because the LEO presence there is massive.”

That, and a couple of other things.

The power outages were spotty so a person could go somewhere to cool down, get ice, etc.

It was just too damn hot the first two days for anyone to get too riled up. Food was still availale, and power restoration started in some neighborhoods on Monday.

If everyone who was without power Friday night (like me) was still without power a week later, then it would have started to get bad. I got power back tuesday night and in the meantime had been able relocate a few miles up the road to someplace with electricity, comms and a/c.
