Okay, so I just played the demo of infamous today, and in the introduction, it described what happened in a lawless, chaotic society. stores were robbed, public property was destroyed, people were injured, women were raped, and law enforcement, or anyone for that matter, was too afraid to stand up to the gangs that were taking control.
Then, there were riots recently in la, because the lakers won the championship game. public property was destroyed, people were injured, hopefully no women were raped and basically LA was in chaos.
a shoe store, the holy grail, was robbed, and this is a quote from the interview: "Matt: How long after the store was broken into did you arrive?
Liz: I really am not too sure. Everything seems like it happened so quickly. When I arrived, the police were there. In fact one of the officers told me that they were scared to go in while the mob was looting the store. They just had to let them do what they wanted to do."
Sound familiar?
In our society, which is a civil one, this isn't supposed to happen. Where was the law enforcement? State troopers? Why didn't the local jurisdiction prepare for something like this? What the heck was anyone doing?
Personally, I'm disturbed that something like this can happen. Even though we have institutions that we thought would prevent this from happening, it still took place.
What do you think?
Just to let you know, I am not blaming anyone in particular for this - I just want a discussion.
