the problem is that it doesnt even make sense when you go deeper into the character history.
* his parents killed when he was 10
* he comes out of the vault at 14
* add the fact that Zoe said they spend a bit more than a year, maybe two in the vault.
:arrow: that makes his parents get killed 2 years before the bombs fell. even with the internal polical conflicts in Europe, there wasnt an open war like in China, Canada & the US. raiders would get wiped out by the governement (that probably already was on a high state of alert).
what it could possibly be, is a militia that was preparing for it (although portugal nor spain have a past that include any kind of militia such as they are found in the US) or riots like you say specialist. although these riots should have a seperate cause (not the bombs, since they fall only 2 years later).
