The Walking Dead, Survival Rule Of The Week: The many faces of evil

3) Masking attacks as “accidents”.

Meeting new people in a zombie apocalypse is difficult, mostly because you have no idea whether you can really trust them or not. As I’ve said earlier, trusting the wrong person can be fatal, and you don’t want to make that mistake.

But, if you need a surefire way to tell whether someone is not trustworthy, just watch how many “mistakes” they make.

Am I saying making mistakes means someone’s a hostile? No. What I am saying is that, if a stranger starts making “mistakes” that are putting people in danger (Think Tomas “accidentally” swinging his weapon at Rick, for example), that’s your cue to watch that person very carefully.

Once (So long as no one gets hurt) might be acceptable, but, any more than that, especially if they’re close together? Yeah…those ain’t mistakes, those are intentional, and the moment they happen, you need to get away from that person as soon as you possibly can.
