Rough translation of the article:
Although terrorist activity has not caused immediate damage to the city of Los Angeles, wary citizens sense danger. They are fighting to buy water and food. Gas masks and American flags are also selling so well that they are out of stock.
The owner of a store which sells life support suplies says: "I have a few customers who believe that once we identify the terrorists, Word War III will begin. But most customers remain rational." The owner also mentions that people are buying small knives, helmets, and other items which could be of use if we were attacked. Surprisingly, among these customers are lawyers, doctors, law enforcement personnel, as well as the average consumer. Everyone is terrified by the act of terrorism committed.
The owner points out that he has already sold 600 gas masks, almost 10 times the normal sales figure. Another popular item is First Aid Kits, because if there is an incident, there will be too many people seeking medical care. Treating your own wounds would be the quickest method.
Another store which sells military supplies says that their gas masks sold out in the past couple of days. The owner says: "One lady who came to buy gas masks even asked if there were gas masks for dogs."
In reality, besides emergency-related merchandise, one of the more popular items is the American flag, because in this time where the whole nation faces a common threat, the Stars and Stripes best represents unity.
Guys, that was a REAL bitch to translate, hope you REALLY enjoy it.
