People nutting up and becoming "unruly" over FREE toys at a Salvation Army.

File this one away under the fantasy title of "everyone will play nice".

The "I'm gonna give charity at the front gate" crowd needs to learn this lesson. That will be next to impossible for most of us to do. 1 or 2 becomes 10 or 20 very easily. 1 or 2 that are "so thankful" becomes 10 or 20 that expects it and wants it yesterday really quick. Trying to regain control after the fact, makes you the guy that had "all this stuff" to help people with that started "shooting and refused to help anyone." People spin stuff in there own minds and then by the time "word" goes around, it gets added to. Pretty soon your whole cute little "community" is against you cause not only did you "not share" you also used force against those poor souls you had first offered to help then had to shoot at.

I understand people's desire to want to help others. I can not understand the inability to grasp the very basic concept that desperate people do desperate things.i think it comes from denial that it will be "that bad" I've even heard well meaning yet dangerously naive preppers come up wih elaborate schemes to render aid post event, in the WROL. Things like " I will hide food at night and leave notes on the road for them to find giving them directions to the food". Terminal na

I just finished "American Blackout" last night and this reminds me of the BF (giving away food over the fence at night) in Colorado...at the end he toughens up (too late imo) but just then someone's cell phone rings.
