Blindness

I don't remember whether or not we were supposed to do these posts during break but I'll do it anyways. One thing that I found surprising was how the thieves still asked for valuables even though they were blind and stuck in an asylum.What would they do with the goods? Society as they knew it was breaking down, by the time they got out these goods might not have even been worth anything. The one thing that bothered me was how the thieves had a gun. How did they sneak a gun in? I'm guessing the military saw that they had a gun and figured it would only help them since it could be used to take out some of the infected. Maybe I missed a part where they explained how the leader of the thieves got a gun. Maybe the military gave them a gun so they could start killing off the infected. It's kind of suspicious that the only ward with an actual blind man who knows how to live with being blind, managed to get possession of a gun.
