The population of the Dome, both the wolves and the sheep, is the spawn of Liberals, who have systematically persecuted the Warrior Class into near extinction. They have attacked the entire notion of the warrior/protector both through the legal system and the educational system. To them, the only virtue is to be a victim. To them, the greatest evil, the _only evil_, is self-empowered independence from their systems of dependency. Those who pursue that path are branded "nutcases," "extremeists," "loners," "dangerous," etc., and held up to the masses for ridicule.
The revenge killing of one of the rapists by an angry mob is a poor substitute for rational intervention and preemption of the crime in the first place. No subsequent action can make whole the victim of a violent crime.
Those of us who watched the sheep line up for their weapons check before entering the Dome and quietly said, "Not me," have now been validated beyond any doubt. We have been given a case history to support our instincts should we ever be faced with a similar dilemma and have to justify our decision to "opt out" to friends and family. To that extent, the suffering of those who went along with the plan might not be in vain.
We owe it to them to learn the lesson.
That was a very good post. During the K2 thing I read somewhere to not only stock enough for you and yours but have enough for a neighbor that didn't prepare too. I do that. One thing I have learned from this disaster is that if you evacuate , check on your neighbor, elderly, etc and offer to take someone out with you.

Very well said. This forever answers the question of if one should ever give up their gun, or enter a large shelter during a disaster either imo.
