Martial law and shooting looters after huricanes use to be SOP(standard operating procedures). As a teenager I would watch the news coverage of hurricane damage and the policy of shooting looters was common place.

I'm not sure why the current state govenors are not doing so.

Sorry, but I cant see shooting someone on sight because they lifted a ******* TV or a can of green beans. My guess it that the governor isnt having this done because he realizes how stupid it is.

Shoot them on sight.

Unless they are stealing vital survival things, then just arrest them.

But generally speaking, martial law, shoot on sight, and tagging executed looters where they fall with a bold-lettered sign (e.g., LOOTER) is the way to go.

There is no martial law in Louisiana I don't think.

The Governor is a woman.

Furthermore, I don't think it's stupid. Looting is one of the lowest things anyone can do. It's on the level of child molestation in my book.

Now there's a book that I won't be reading...

Seriously, do you not think that police have better things to be doing in New Orleans right now than worrying about looters?

Some people are so concerned about upholding the rule of law that they fail to see the forest before the trees. Police officers in New Orleans are needed for other things right now.

Jax,

I agree with you on some things. But the fact that you a) think looting is on the same level as child molestation and b) that you actually think killing someone over what amounts to petty theft is absolutely astounding.

Maybe I used a bad analogy.

How is this.

Child molestation is the most messed up thing you can do to another human being.

Looting is the most messed up thing you can do to a persons property. (looting as opposed to "normal" theft)

I think killing people for looting is perfectly acceptable. This is a time where lawlessness should be at its lowest and humanity should shine through. However, you have those who seek to take advantage of the tragedy, they should be severly and swiftly punished. I feel the same way about the people who will bilk victims out of their insurance claims in a few weeks/months.

Agreed. But that doesn't mean that if they see looting taking place, they can't open fire.

Thank god you will never be in a position of power.

Yeah, they should open fire on a crowd of people stealing stuff. What universe do you live in? Either you are just saying this stuff for shock value, or you have completely lost your mind. I wish there was a better/nicer way for me to say that, but there's really not.

How in the world can you justify shooting people like that for stealing?
Frankly, your opinion is sickening to me.
