Jensen,
Many thanks for weighing in on this topic. The more experience and knowledge that is shared now, will hopefully help save lives in the future.
Having re-read the thread there are certainly some common themes:
Desperate people do desperate things. Yes, even kill each other.
A strong community has a better chance at survival than clusters of individuals, urban or rural settings. Make a community now, so you can depend on each other and work together.
Will have to finish this another time.

Keep the bad guys as far away as possible.
Channel bad guys into areas that can be controlled and observed.
Use traps and delay devices.
If you cannot hold your position, a fighting withdrawl is the safest method of moving from one location to another.
For many, the option to live outside an urban environment is not an option.
I would like to believe that by sharing what we know now, will make a difference later when we need it to work.
Just my two cents.

Henry,
I appreciate your observations and noting the differences between pure animal instinct and faith/hate driven killing madness. In the end, there may be very little difference in the outcome of a situation - even if you know the "why" they are doing it. Being shot at because of hate or love of a god or because I am hungry, the situation is still the same for the person being shot at........flee and avoid being hit, duck and return fire, or get hit.
I always enjoy your knowledge that you share.
Cheers,
MM.
