Yeh scum always bands together. They just won’t thrive in the N GA mountains. They may thrive in the inner cities like intown Atlanta or even the burbs but when you get out into the boonies the natives are scarier than the scavengers. Trust me. Those kinds of little bands will be wiped out very quickly.
There is no magic about the N GA mountains or the Idaho Mountains or the Florida swamps. Desperate people will go to great measures to get what they want. When a million people leave Atlanta to look for food, a couple hundred rifles in the mountains won’t mean all that much.
BTW just drive thru those mountains yesterday.
