even so they are probably all americans, which is probably? worse.

only in america would the police be ordered to shoot at people trying to scavenge food to help them survive.

then again, apparently they are shooting back at the police.

so only in america would the only thing people grab as their house is being devastated by storms be their trusty gun.

"oh my God - look at that huge storm heading this way. Quick Martha, board up the windows, make your way to the roof with our plastic macs, and grab my shotgun on your way past. No Martha - no time for food, just be sure and grab that bloody gun. And the cartridges are in the floor safe at the bottom of my wardrobe. the code is 573942. quick Martha, its nearly here! well drop the bottle of water if you can't carry it and my shotgun. theres loads of water falling from the sky - we can drink that!"
