Well depending on the age of the school and the area, yes it can. Newer ones have strong windows and reinforced doors but older ones it is cheaper to bar the windows.

I must have REALLY been listening to hard to come up with all of that...thanks for correcting Nik.
ok, i am far to lazy to go back and read 17 pages worth of replies. Think about it, it started in all the major locations that Col Kimmet mentoned. LA was a hotspot, a huge one, but still a hotspot. i believe that the "hotspots" are more nesting locations. Think of it as an ant nest. you might see a few in your kitchen or next to the trash, but find the big hill and you find the nest. The "nest" is simly where the mass majority were created and able to wander off and spawn more. On a seperate note, i love the fact that liz is prego and the impending love triangle with CJ, Saul and Victor will complicate things. As or the bombing, with Kimmet visiting pentax(spelling?), im inerested to find out where they will bomb. I can see the hospital at least, maybe the arena. Anyone else think the Reserve Base might be another nest? with so many Big Ones and little ones it makes me wonder. Also, just had the great thought that Kalani isnt dead. Anyone notice that when saul and victor where searching bodies, his wasnt found or noticed? They saw the helicopter but didnt ever investiage... Thats all for now
What if this wasn't the first time that the Mallers/Colony have seen helicopters flying around? What if the military has been conducting recon missions around LA, whether to scout out the Mallers, to look for zombie nests, or just to look for resources? If we assume the Mallers don't know about Fort Irwin or Boulder then they're likely to assume the helicopters they're seeing is the one they saw leave the Tower. Then it would make sense to send people out looking for Michael's new base.
It was brought up a couple times in this thread. If they are indeed spies sent out to find Michael, they are both amazing actors. They seemed very genuine in their desire to leave the Colony for their own reasons.
I just relistened to the sections detailing the rest of the world and the outbreak: What is confusing (and I think maybe where you got your idea from) was the news report in Chapter 2 talks about riots in LA, Chicago, New York and other locations. That's why we all stuck on the idea that it was some sort of attack across the states. The news report cut off before they could indicate what cities were influenced globally.
The best I can figure....this might be a hole in the plot. The only way it can be explained away is if people in other US cities not on the West Coast started rioting with the impending doom of zombie-gore headed their way.
Rioting to get the hell outta dodge would make perfect sense actually. While we can only speculate about if there were reports of outbreaks in the "far" east...surely word of things going down in LA got out pretty fast....i could see rioting happening just for that fact alone..think of Katrina...or hell, shopping on black Friday...that May as well be an apocalypse on its own.
I agree that the riots in other cities could have resulted from people panicking due to the West Coast / Ring of Fire zombie reports.
Was anyone else intrigued to see a pedestrian overpass in the street view pics of Dominguez Elementary? I wonder if it could be an escape route for SVGP.
Regarding Lizzie being protected -- perhaps Durai or Scratch is just really into long-term planning. Raising a child would be a big drain on resources, but maybe the relative safety of the Colony makes it seem possible. It would probably take at least ten or twelve years for such an investment to pan out for Durai/Scratch -- but if they want to survive long-term, they are going to need new fighters/workers to replace the ones they lose. They are definitely ruthless enough to use child soldiers / slaves.
I'm really not sure about this idea though -- the theory that Lizzie and the baby are being kept as bargaining chips is probably more likely. The Mallers' increased security at the Colony is the only reason why I think D/S might be considering the far future potential of Lizzie's baby.
Didn't Scratch say that when this all went down that the guards abandoned them? Left them for dead?
Season Three of Found? Lol
