That was actually pretty good. They are 100% right…but only if you assume that most people aren’t idiots.
I agree with all of that, but could very well see a large population dying simply because MOST PEOPLE don’t have the capacity to actually protect themselves. Lots of people think they do, but those same people have never fired a weapon or even been in a fight. They just panic.

Sigh. Thanks for ruining the idea hodge podge. But there will always be some reason to buy 100 boxes of tuna fish and peaches.

I seriously laugh at people every time I see something like this because they are usually wearing a shirt with a loony tunes character on it and camo something be it a hat, pants or vest with torn off sleeves. Yeah I laughed until I found this 2 days ago on the Huffingtonpost. It’s pretty damn gross and it just makes my head spin. Watch and you’ll understand.
My first thoughts after viewing this is which world government is going to figure out how to weaponize this stuff and use it against us?

Consider that a thinning of the herd so to speak, and remember… “You don’t have to outrun a bear, you just have to outrun whoever you’re with.” lol Same concept applies. And before I hear about how cold and outlandish that is, I can already tell you that perhaps as much as half of us here would contemplate it in a live or die situation.
The fact of the matter is that, although this sucks to think about, most people would be useful for no more than to exist as cannon fodder. They would be first to enter and clear a room, as well as run at the back of the pack if being chased. The ones who don’t get munched on have earned the right to live. And who knows, if your untimely death were to occur, one of the once expendables could find themselves leading the pack.
What it would boil down to (in theory anyway) is those with any type of situational awareness and self control under severe stress hoarding up somewhere and waiting it out while defending a specified perimeter and upholding THE most critical security protocols ever conceived. That would mean that if someone were bitten or “infected” in any way, you wouldn’t wait for them to turn or debate over whether they live or not.
You would neutralize the threat and remove any infectious organic material (aka the body). Security would involve the setting of IED traps to strike a surprise attack at any unwanted infiltrators (human or undead), security shifts designated to specific areas (Meaning that for a certain length of time a person is keeping a specific area secure until relieved of their post by the next person. Typically the best thing to do would be to have 4 areas guarded by stationary security and one area patrolled to keep an eye out for invaders), hourly roll call to make sure everyone is accounted for, and a religious tutorial on weapons, their effectiveness, and how a clean gun is a working gun.
Every movie I’ve ever seen with these scenarios has one fatal flaw: Security breach. Someone fucks up by neglecting their job and gets half the cast killed. Then it becomes a gorified dramafest of bullshittery. If one person hadn’t fucked up in countless movies (or someone had at least had the mindset to fix the damn problem when it occurred!) then half the shit that goes awry wouldn’t. Granted Mr. Murphy would hold a heavy presence in any type of zombie scenario. Luckily you can blow his ass up by stressing the importance of protocol.

Oh so true. You would think that people would be able to stave off the urge to fuck for at least a little while when the promise of certain, painful death is close at hand. Or the least they could do is wait until some sort of safe area is secure. lol
Repopulation can be addressed after the threat of viral reanimation is taken care of.
Another thing…
How is it that in most of these movies the military can suddenly be taken down with ease? I know there are some members of our military that are dumber than a box of rocks, but come on. We have the most powerful military force known to man and a large enough spec ops community that we should at least speed up the process of neutralization before every trained military outfit is obliterated.
I don’t understand how tanks, helicopters, C-130s, etc. can’t stack up against virtually mindless, well… zombies. It’s not like we’d have to worry about Geneva Conventions or UN resolutions. Hell, if anything I’d worry about running out of fuel and ammo before our people actually got destroyed.
This thread is fun. lol

x2. Honestly, thats probably the most accurate of a “zombie” movie than any other one made. The 28 days movies are far from the top either. Others…well just have too many flaws and errors. Like the military issue that Hodge brought up.
My only issue with The Crazies is how stupid the characters ended up being. And yes, I’m talking about the main characters.
For instance; who goes into a dark building, knowing who/what could possibly be inside waiting for them, alone? And of all things to have the other person do, why would you tell them to wait outside, in the dark, in a wide open space? It’s like they asked for trouble throughout half that movie. Another good example is the lady going back into her unborn baby’s room to get all sentimental. Wouldn’t you think that it wouldn’t be a good time to drop your guard and get emotional? That guy could’ve been saved from having his hand stabbed, wasting the precious ammo of one of only a handful of guns, and the general trouble of having to risk being killed. The only thing they went back to the house for was the car, so in true horror fashion, one of the characters deviates from the plan and does something stupid.
The sad part is that people are so touchy-feely these days that it would most likely be a common occurrence. Everyone would either break down and be worthless or they’d slip up by involving emotion and get killed because of it.
Also, the two remaining characters could’ve saved themselves a lot of trouble by shooting the crazy deputy as soon as he killed the fed. I could go on with how badly they reacted to things, but I don’t want to seem anymore anal retentive than I already do. lol

My point was with the military aspect, but to a point you have to accept that its a movie. Errors are made to make drama and slap your forhead moments. In real life during trauma and natural disasters, normal people dont act like you think they will.
Eh, the military can go both ways. They can nuke the shit out of the area and claim “accident,” or they can try to cover it up and be all hush-hush about it and screw up royally.
