@Gas: Becoming more dramatic and having the plot happen only because of the stupidity of the authorities, is hardly realistic.

As for how people act...There will always be the heartless moron that will take advantage of a natural disaster to steal and loot. But most people would help each other in these times.

In a situation like yours, crime would rise, yes, but that's in more desperate, hopeless situations. If a tornado passes through a city, the reactions of the people won't be the same as their reactions towards being trapped somewhere with no food, water or information. In the former, people will help each other. In the latter, people will kill each other.

Vale has not quite reached that point yet. At least for now, some unity in Vale makes sense. Whether it stays is another question. Salem's plan has already worked too well, her objective is to destroy humanity via divide and conquer, and she's getting there. Total division is just a possible route for her to take.

RWBY may be getting darker, but that's no excuse to be pessimistic with the story. Otherwise, they would alienate more and more of the established fandom.
