A major tornado tore through some small towns in southcentral Kansas when I was a kid. The devastation was total and people lost everything.
The governor mobilized the National Guard to protect against looters.
The National Guard roadblocks stopped a convoy of trucks that were piled high with clothing, blankets, food, toys, furniture--not coming out of the disaster area, but into it. Not to loot, but to help, in any way we could. No one organized us to do this: we just saw our fellow Kansans in need and started down there. I lived in an area with a lot of Mennonites, the most charitable and honest folk I have ever met. They are an example to us all.
Not all cultures are equal. Kansas isn't the same place I grew up, but people there will still help you without being asked, and they will be kind about it, too.
On the other hand, Buffalo appears to have a lot of...Norwegian immigrants, as I call them...who only think of taking, never giving.
Not all cultures are equal. Before you hand over power to people, observe how they handle crises, because that shows how they'll act when they're in power.
