What we are seeing is what will happen country wide if power goes out all over the country, no matter what caused it. When there is no power, there is no gasoline and won’t be any until power is restored. Bad guys, as we have seen here, are limited to the area where they can walk. A few have cars but that is the exception and if gas wasn’t coming back, they wouldn’t have those cars to use for travel.
In other words, without power and fuel, the country stops and no one is going anywhere without walking there and if there is no water and food, they die where they are. Some people may have bicycles but that is local travel and without water and food, that also stops.
In New York, in my opinion, Mayor Bloomberg is responsible for every person the bad guys kill just as if he did it as no one is allowed to have a gun except the bad guys. The easiest for the bad guys to kill are the elderly. There is not enough law enforcement to stop the killing and robbing and without citizens having guns, they are helpless and are murdered in their houses or on the street.
If the entire country is without power, the above scenario will repeat itself across the country – except in those states where people have guns. Bad guys will stop or die in those states. The more preppers there are in a carry state, the safer the state will be.
If I lived in New York City, I would make every effort to leave there and go to a carry area or state. And, no matter where I lived, I would be a prepper to create my own world in case the outside world collapsed, which it just did in the northeast. There is information all over the web explaining how to begin prepping so one has water and food and necessary supplies AND security. Many of us call this “living insurance”.
Government cannot help fast enough when millions are involved and I understand FEMA may have water available Monday. That is a week after it happened. A person may die after three days without water. I won’t depend on FEMA for water or food or anything that keeps me alive.
My hope is many people will become preppers after this Sandy Hurricane experience. Provide your own “living insurance”.
FEMA was set up to be able to respond to nuclear attacks in as many as three major US cities is what I was told. These clowns at FEMA could not rough it for one damn day.
