Yeah, I know, right? Defend a Walmart from what? What exactly is the plan there?

  "Looters". The people coming to the Walmart to "defend" it while taking stuff presumably don't count themselves as looters. Again, hidden racial elements to the discussion. The question of what happens if two preppers or groups of preppers decide to "secure" the same Walmart is not addressed either.

    What's racial about it? I agree that it's rather absurd and short-sighted--not to mention selfish and smacking of hubris--but what's racial about it?

      What's racial is how the terms are applied in the media (and how this reinforces people's unthinking internal racial stereotyping): White people "find" things in the aftermath of a disaster, black people "loot" them.
