I wonder if they'll go back to hangings/lynchings?
Why do I ask? Because as I see it, transportation will be needed (to get from point 2 point) if the fuel supply goes to hell and ones gas/diesel guzzler becomes a huge paper weight or immobile tent. That means "4 legged kinds of transport" will be necessary again and with that will come horse stealing.
If we are hurled back into the 19th century all of a sudden (through economic collapse or whatever) we will be forced to do things we deem necessary (such as taking what we need at times in order to survive). A horse will be as valuable then as an auto is now. Maybe even more!
Just a thought to ponder.....sorry for digressing! I guess one could technically be hung for stealing food as well though. Depends on the situation and how desperate it becomes to do that.
"In the beginning of a change the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot". Mark Twain - 1904
