Darlin’, you’re forgetting one thing. These are the Free Sh!t Army, Holder’s People, the Golden Horde. All they care about is that their hood is dark, and their EBT cards don’t work. As far as a nationwide crisis, THEY COULDN’T CARE LESS! Their barrio is all they’re looking at for the moment. When it dawns on them that the lights and the cable aren’t coming back on, it’ll start.
Case #1: New York, 1977. Power went off at 9:30PM. The looting started at 11:00PM. As long as the hood was dark, they screamed “It’s Christmas Time!”
Case #2: Miami, 1992. When Hurricane Andrew hit, the winds hadn’t even died down before the zombies started massing. Barely hours passed before they came boiling out of the ghettos.
Case #3: New Orleans, 2005. Not only did the Golden Horde rise up, but the government thugs and the locals used it as the excuse to start the Great Louisiana Gun Grab.
Hours, Marcella. Hours. The food may last three days, but the zombie attacks will start at Z-Plus-Three. If they even wait that long.
And they will find you. And they will take whatever you have. Because to them it’s still free sh!t.
That's what I mean. They have an area they are comfortable in and they stay there. Not many of us live in those areas, if any at all do. They turn their area into wasteland and likely kill each other. I don't care.
As I just posted, I think it's our neighbors, meaning those living in our more civilized/educated areas, that within four or five days, starts producing unwilling zombies but it happens.
You said, “And they will find you. And they will take whatever you have. Because to them it’s still free sh!t.”
No, they won't find me, but if they did, they would be dead and I sincerely mean that. I have means to be alerted if anyone nears my townhouse and there is only one way in and one way out and they will never get inside and I sincerely mean that. I am a real bitch of destruction if anyone tries to get in here.
