Survey reveals stunning attitudes about surviving in catastrophe
Editor’s note: This is another in a series of “WND/WENZEL POLLS” conducted exclusively for WND by the public-opinion research and media consulting company Wenzel Strategies.
Nearly half of Americans would expect serious, sustained life-threatening civil unrest within two weeks of a major catastrophe, such as an EMP attack that would destroy electronics, according to a new poll.
Another huge percentage say they would expect further deterioration after two weeks, but for many, that development would be irrelevant, because they expect they would be dead by then.
The sobering the new poll by Wenzel Strategies, a public-opinion research and media consulting company, also shows a stunning number of Americans say they would be willing to kill a neighbor under such circumstances.
The poll, conducted Nov. 28-Dec. 3 with a margin of error of 3.14 percentage points, showed 58 percent of Americans would be somewhat or very willing to kill someone if a member of their family was threatened with attack during an emergency.
But that would be because 50 percent expect that within two weeks of a catastrophic emergency, their home, person or family member would be physically attacked by someone desperate for food, money or commodities like gasoline.
Remarkably, 21 percent said they would survive without services provided by electronic power less than a week and another 28 percent believed they could last less than two weeks. Three in four Americans say they would be dead in two months.

Fritz Wenzel, president of Wenzel Strategies, told WND: “Our survey shows that, in the face of this reality,

Anyone who would not fight and if necessary kill to protect a family member is not worthy of being called family.
It’ll be hard, but me and mine will come out the other side of any SHTF situation. We maybe a lot thinner and bit ragged around the edges, but we’ll survive and without having to crawl begging others to carry us.
Ironically, when the SHTF, by their own demise Liberals are going to prove evolution right!!!
Peoples attitude needs to change. The “sh*t” has already hit the fan and no one is doing ANYTHING about it. There’s not going to be any EMP strike or any immediate collapse. Just a long slow decline into South Africa. People are already being beaten, robbed, and raped DAILY and their families do NOTHING in response. Why? Because it’s unlikely that an individual will have the resources to locate the exact perp. So we do nothing. If this current epidemic of crime hits my family I feel like I only have one real recourse. I intend to strike back at the culture that produced these perps. I don’t care much about accuracy on my part anymore. It’s too limiting.
“Three in four Americans say they would be dead in two months.”
Not me, Brotha.
If 3 of 4 would be dead that well leave a lot for those who have prepared and are ready.
The biweekly EMP story.
I'd say that anyone with that outlook isn't fit to live, much less live in a free society. For most of the world's history, such were either slaves or dead. And usually in that order. And as such, they were useless to those around them in the same predicament.
I will do my very best to slay those who threaten me or mine, and I will do so without mercy or remorse. Regardless of who they are.
The numbers seem to work well.
Half expect to be dead, and half expect to kill...
Sit in place, whimper a lot and die or be killed. That’s what the weak will do.
Just about half of Americans would murder someone for personal advantage or for making them mad on a good day at the moment. If we keep “progressing” it will be every slave for himself!
Does this mean that half the population would NOT kill to pretect their own?
47% would kill to keep their Obamaphones.
It's obvious: they will die.
