When the power goes out, the rioting and looting starts
in the cities.  (This isn't New Zealand, baby, this is LA)

When the rioters get bored, they'll get into cars.
When they run out of gas, they'll stay where they are stranded
as the gas pumps don't work.  Some fine huntin' then, bubba.

You are missing my point.

Yes, it is possible that if power goes out, looting might occur.

I am now considering another possibility: what happens if the power DOES
NOT go out? What would the gunnuts do? Or, if the power does go out but
looting does not start, would the gunnuts shoot some blacks that they
mistake for "looters" but who are just walking down the streets?
