I can see rich, armed folks being ripped to shreds by an unarmed mob of hungry poor people.

100-to-1 odds only work for the one in movies, or if the one has a REALLY big gun.

Find me a rich dude with a tank and you might have something there. Otherwise, he's dead, no matter what he's packin'.

Who is going to kill him. A pack of teens with #2 pencils?

It would be like Zulu, Brain Dead/Dead Alive, Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, Shaun of the Dead, 28 Days Later, etc. No matter how well armed the smaller group is, the larger group will inflict serious damage.

Though in every one of these movies at least some of the defenders survive, so I guess I didn't really make a point.

Technically, with the possible exception of Dawn of the Dead, I don't think any of these are Hollywood movies.

Sharp objects work well. Bombs work well.

No one will be able to hold off 100 people looking to kill him.

Negro stop. Bunch of assumption here. All of a sudden it is one rich dude. How about if it were 100 rich dudes with property, guns, money, and maybe a security force against 100 teens with #2 pencils?

...How about it? That's not what was said. How about if it was 100 rich dudes against Godzilla?

(what's the opposite of hoplophobia - hoplophilia? Guns aren't the all-powerful, magical solution to everything.)
