Slow Fist Coming

You'd think everyone would have more than enough time to get out of the way. [More]

They're stuck in the expectation that what they previously viewed as normal will be perpetual. It reminds me of what Bracken says in the "Lies of Omission" preview:

"Turn the water tap and water comes out."

Imagine these same people a week after the lights have gone out, and in many cases, days.

That in turn reminds me of this:

By what suspension of reality, by what denial of the observable and the probable, by what art, device or magic are we sheltered few immune from catastrophe? Are we certain, from our brief and privileged vantage point, that such things will never affect us personally? Is it not just plain stupid to proclaim that our familiar way of life will forever be the norm, when everything that has gone before us shows we are, instead, the extremely lucky beneficiaries of a rare and fortunate convergence of circumstances; and one, by the way, that has only been preserved under force of arms?

Any bets most won't learn a thing, and will go right back to the old ways of unpreparedness and procrastination once this episode is over?

What do you mean I can't buy a gun? What do you mean you're out of ammunition?
