I'm watching O'Reilly and there are a few men stating "Just tell me where to go.... Just give me some orders."

I honestly cannot imagine something like this happening in the mountain West. The people that live in these parts would have smacked that down hard from the get-go.

But then, I think the justifiable homicide laws are much more liberal in the mountain West. I know in Nevada you can use it to stop felonious crime against your property any time of day, never mind to protect life and limb of your fellow citizens.

I think a big part of the problem is that all the sane people left and only the mutants stayed behind. Otherwise, this would have already played out in gun battles as the good citizens took back their streets. Right now, it is mostly just roving bands of mutants.

Yep that's the way I see it also. It is still pathetic. Fox keeps calling the people "refugees". It will only get worse because now they are 'victims' because they were not intelligent enough to get out of Dodge.
