Madmax scenario of a total economic collapse turning our once great city into 1992 compton? Not likely, but possible.
I want to dedicate this thread to plausable and possible scenarios to occur in the Metro Atlanta suburbs during said collapse. What would happen first, second, third, etc. Most people seem to think that it will be a quick suffering followed by swift redemption of a new government? I fail to see the logic in this.
Another thing I want to touch on is what will the National Gaurd do? The GA NG is actually rather large and well equipped, nevermind the strong AD presence in Colimbus, Kings Bay, Savannah, and more bases in the state. Atlanta would be culled swiftly and quickly in my own personal opinoin. Things would get out of hand for a week or month, but as soon as those humvees with .50's roll into the city, things usually settle down (see LA riots).
Let's imagine that doesn't happen and the military for some reason is overrun and is unable to cull the riots. Do you see Gwinnett, Forsyth, Hall, and other counties being ovverun by the horde coming North? Or would the unprepared suburbanites face their own demise via their complacency.
Another fallacy is that we will wake up one morning and people will be amok in the streets all at once. It won't be like this, the slow painful process of a "shtf" takes months if not years to happen. We COULD be in the first stages of this, given the vulnerability of our current global economy. Once Europe defaults, China and the rest of the world follows. It's too connected these days, not like the 19th century.
