The original assertion was a potential breakdown in the EBT system leading to food riots. Unlikely.

in fairness, the original was but *a* potential beginning...

really doesnt matter how it starts, once the urban areas go feral, the food/supply trucks wont wade into the cities, so it really wont matter how much is warehoused...

I think you are correct, and the trucks would not roll.

My impression is that if riots broke out and were larger than say 3 city blocks (pick a number, this is a guess on my part), that law enforcement would switch from being in an active intercession mode to being in a lock down and contain mode, being ready to go in and do cleanup when/if things settle down.

Of course resources would be dedicated to protecting valuable infrastructure things like hospitals, power units, etc.

Exactly. What kicks it off is irrelevant. It could be Jorge Zimmerhombre being kicked loose by a judge over stand your ground/self defense.
