Why do people think that if society collapsed, 310 million Americans could live in the woods?

Sadly for Los Angeles and area, you have all the bangers of latino and black persuasion who will be runing rampant raping, stealing, killing. By the time things quiet dow, most law abiding folks will be under the control of those criminal s. eMe alone has almost 40,000 hard core soldiers in the LA area. Good luck with maintaining civilization.
