Regarding barricades withstanding "repeated battering by a teeming hostile mob": someone at the hospital claimed that that's exactly what the city's armories are facing. I should not have been surprised to hear it; figure that some people (read: Americans favoring their Second Amendment) will tend to want to be near guns in times of emergency. They congregate, then they give off a large heat signature and a cloud of body odor -- en masse -- and finally they become the proverbial "fish in a barrel".
I do not really wish for such detachment when discussing people being trapped and then overrun. Is it my scientific training kicking in, or am I becoming numb to the horror?
