The Mallers’ territory wasn’t clearly defined, but we know it included all the areas where they scavenged for supplies, and we know that that included the Tower (Tardust and Bricks were just blocks away hunting for runaway slaves when they captured Lizzie). The incident with the tanker didn’t cause the conflict, it just put the Tower on the Mallers’ radar. In my opinion the Mallers felt that they already owned the Tower, and that everyone in it was a squatter and an unclaimed slave.
Cabbage Patch, I agree with your post. The Mallers operate under toddler mentality. "If I can see it its mine." "If you think its yours. Its mine" "If I touched it in the last day. Its mine" etc... How do you defend your self against a force that has already decided your stuff is theirs?
