The *police* are looting jewelry and electronics. I'm going to give that the Grade-A Scumsucker Medal with special decaying-plankton cluster.
Yes. Oh hell yes.
River: You're not right, Early. You're not righteous. You've got issues. Early: No. Oh, yes, I could have that. You might have me figured out, then. Good job. I'm not 100%.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Betsy, which article was that in? All I've read so far is that police are taking food, water, etc.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I haven't read the police are looting non-essential items, but all I've read is that wire story, which said,
At a drug store on Canal Street just outside the French Quarter, two police officers with pump shotguns stood guard as workers from the Ritz-Carlton Hotel across the street loaded large laundry bins full of medications, snack foods and bottled water.
"This is for the sick," Officer Jeff Jacob said. "We can commandeer whatever we see fit, whatever is necessary to maintain law."

Now tagless for your comfort.
Is anyone else having Gmail issues, or is it just me?
I had problems this morning. But it's better now.
I think you'd probably make a better survivalist, actually.
I wouldn't fail to stoop to the level that rugby team in Alive did. I'd eat someone to survive, I just wouldn't steal from them.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You are intending to wait until they're dead, right? For a moment I read Allyson's post wrong, and worried about b.org babies.

Oh, ftr, go ahead and eat me if I'm dead in such a circumstance. I'd TOTALLY understand.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

You'd eat someone's asscheek but not take his boots?

I'd steal to survive. I'd maim to survive. These grocery stores-- everything in it is a loss. They will not have customers in the near future. There's no benefit to salvaging any of the merchandise, since it will be covered by insurance and a salvage will be expensive. These people travelling through water to get into grocery stores? They need it.

Well, is he using the asscheek? The boots?

Not to get any more morbid, but isnt the water they're traveling through essentially a lake of poison?
