So many of them are out of shape

They like to talk about a civil war...and how they would win because they are the ones with the guns....but so many of them are so out of shape that they would die on their own...case in point

The others, Kevin Greeson, 55, of Athens, Alabama; Benjamin Philips, 50, of Ringtown, Pennsylvania; and Rosanne Boyland, 34, of Kennesaw, Georgia, died of medical emergencies, Washington, D.C., police said Thursday.

I wish I knew who to attribute this to; I believe I saw it mentioned someplace here on DU...

around eight years living in an off-grid yurt in SW WI...including through the winter where it got down to -25F and I had to stuff my spare socks in various cracks in my insulation and wake up every two hours to feed my wood stove or I would have died. I learned to forage, find and filter water, etc. It was a challenge that I had prepared myself for a full two years to be up to, both in terms of self-education and physical fitness...and I barely got by at times.

Despite all of this, I still found myself dependent on "the system", albeit to a MUCH lesser extent than most of these over-stuffed clowns.

If they manage to collapse the system (as they seem intent on doing), they will be included in the first wave of the die-off...as they won't be able to wave their guns around and have "hamberders" fall magically from the sky. They will die of dehydration as they lie prostrate in front of all the shuttered and abandoned Walmarts that they spent many of their waking (though largely unconscious) hours at.
