If crazed Americans trample each other over discounted TVs, what will they do to acquire supplies in an actual life-or-death crisis?

As comedian Bill Burr hilariously points out, if you are stockpiling food and preparedness supplies but don't have a gun to defend it, all you're doing is gathering supplies for the biggest bully on the block.
A recent article by Daisy Luther from The Organic Prepper really nails this point by including photos of Black Friday mobs trampling each other in America, then asking the question, "What would these people act like over something that was actually a matter of life and death?"
It's probably the most important question of the year. America has become a culture where people are so delusional about what's important that they will literally trample each other to death to save a few dollars on some hot new electronics product. Yet in their own home, they have no storable food, no emergency medicine, no emergency water supplies, no backup source of heat, no water filtration devices and no clue how to survive without all the systems that keep society functioning today (the power grid, municipal water supplies, fuel at gas stations, functioning hospitals, local law enforcement, etc.).
What Daisy Luther is pointing out in asking this question is that people who would trample each other over a discounted gaming console would do a lot worse to acquire food if they were starving. They would kill you, in other words, without hesitation of any kind. After all, their mentality is "ME! ME! ME!" and they're willing to literally stomp all over fallen elderly people and children in order to get their hands on the latest gadgets.
Let's stop pretending that desperate people will remain polite in a crisis
The takeaway point on all this is that if you are currently stockpiling supplies but don't have a way to defend those supplies, you're probably wasting your time and effort. The idea that desperate members of society are going to remain polite in a power grid failure, severe food crisis or widespread social chaos is nothing more than a crazy delusion propagated by people who have lost touch with reality. The reality is that the "GET ME SOME at all costs!" mentality routinely demonstrated by crazed Black Friday shoppers is exactly the same mentality that will be amplified and focused to an extreme in a collapse scenario.
In order to "GET ME SOME!", desperate people will be willing to rob, loot, rape, steal, murder and commit arson if that's what it takes to acquire food and other lifesaving supplies. There is no limit to the actions of the desperate masses during times of social chaos and a breakdown of law and order. All mental constructs of social politeness and behavioral boundaries vanish almost overnight, revealing the animalistic dark side of human nature where behaviors are patterned in the lower brain stem, absent rational thought.
This animalistic, irrational mob behavior is very similar to what we might call "zombie" behavior.
