I just saw a video of people getting their hearts taken out and houses falling on mofos. There was a series of attempted killings, an apparent vaporization by acid or some other kind of liquid, tornadoes and no government response. We aren't talking about some sh*thole like Oklahoma! We are talking about the equivalent of a place so highly developed, you could call it a fantasy land. I mean the streets are literally paved in gold.
That's why you need a flying monkey army. So if a bunch of mutants and their demented foreign invader leader show up, you can deal with them.
