> nobody panicked
That's definitely false, I know people who panicked. Not sure about the crimes though. But plenty of people genuinely believed they were spending their last moments alive.
- PaulHoule 4y agoThere's a genre of Youtube video where somebody goes to visit relatives and pops a USB stick into into the TV with a fake Emergency Broadcast System message.
- SamBam 4y agoCould you imagine thinking it's your last few minutes on Earth, and deciding to spend them committing a crime? I don't understand why people always imagine other people would do this.
- dylan604 4y agoBecause we've all seen TV
- sodality2 4y agoFor some, the only thing stopping them from committing crimes is the threat of punishment. In a situation like that, that element no longer exists. I don't imagine it'll be many, though.
- effingwewt 4y agoNot that hard to imagine. Some kid dreams about his dream car, finds out it's all ending and decides he's going out in a Ferrari happy. In a world ending event none of us really knows how we'd react. We only know how we'd like to think we'd handle it.
- tresqotheq 4y agoYea, every body has a plan until they get punched in the face..
- ASalazarMX 4y agoSome people don't commit crimes because they fear punishment, and end-of-the-world scenario would free them of consequences. I'm over 50, so I would try to receive the end in peace with as much of my family as possible, but 30 years ago I might have taken the car and race on the highway because it's a fun way to go.
- jvanderbot 4y agoYou're right. I was thinking "public riots / hysteria" but typing "nobody panicked" foolishly.
