A worrying tale

[BFG Central]

While generally chatting to a lad i know (27 years old) he mentioned he was talking to his mum about a zombie film she was watching and she asked him what he would do if something bad ever happened to the world.
The conversation went away from fictional zombies and turned to real life survival.
He told me the if the SHTF (his words) he would find his mental mates and go straight out and take what ever they could from people better off than him and if that meant doing it by force so be it.

Another comment from him was.

"No one ever did me any favours so why shouldnt i take what ever i want from others who have things i want or need?...... F**k um, I will make sure im all right"

It made me think more about what will really happen when the SHTF????

As he was talking my heart was in my mouth and i felt sick.

With advance planning like that he sure is a genius. Even if people don't plan it out like that then they must think of that within a day or two of the event.

The problem, for him, is desperate people will want to keep hold of what they have and him and his mental mates will soon be fighting among themselves when easy prey dries up.

Keep away from him. He has more chance of finding out what you are doing if your family thinks he is a friend. Then he has at least one address on his list.

Does anyone know if eBay or Amazon carries body bags?

It's precisely that sort of attitude mixed with gang mentality that scares the sh*t out of me!

When people get hungry they'll do whatever it takes, that's why it's vital to look just as hungry as everyone else.

[Lightspeed]

The first and only solution of desperate people is to take from others who are weaker than themselves.

Its Darwinism in action. Survival of the fittest.

We have to expect and make plans to counter precisely this kind of behaviour.

Such B/S talk might be all bravado today, but the seed is now planted...It WILL sprout into action, supported by the rationalisiation of need and hunger, if and when really bad times arrive.

I don't think that will be a problem Steve, most people will have a more physical lifestyle post shtf than they have now.
