Re: Massive Power Outage
Question for the folks in the black outs:
How's the riot going?
Is there any looting?
Was there even a riot?
Why or why not?
You know if this happened in certain other cities (L.A., Dallas, Denver) there would be rampant looting. Hell, around here we know which stores carry 'riot gear' and tend to know when the riots are going to happen, some of us road-trip it up to Denver to participate in, watch, or just be around such events. Are they even looting in Detroit? (Detroit was hit, right?)

Re: Massive Power Outage
here in Toronto, there was no rioting, I think very little looting (the police recorded less than 100 looting related calls according to the radio), and we actualy had citizens directing traffic, fairly well too, at intersections without lights and cops!

There were no riots.
There was no looting.
There were no riots.
Because they were civilized people, and it's senseless to loot when the shops are all manned, police and fire crews were fully crewed and patrolling the city, and when you think that this is another terrorist attack where anybody in a building could lose their lives.

Re: Massive Power Outage
So I gather it now seems the power failure was cause by something in Cleveland. so what's up with the NY mayor (or perhaps it was the Governor) saying 'definatly absolutely it was caused by something in Canada' (not an exact quote) Good to know we can trust the politicians. 
Hmm Cause is in Ohio, Incompentent service guys trying to fix PBW in Ohio... Conicidence?  |
