Re: What should happen to the New Orleans looters?

Crime is a game with risk and reward. If we tell people what the risk is, we hope they will give the reward less value.

Hmmm…. 100% looting, or 90% looting with even more dead residents and cops. Great idea genius. This is far different from your average looting scenario. These people literally have nothing to lose. You’d be pretty hard-pressed to find many risk averse people in this situation. Shooting looters will not serve the desired purpose. But I have a funny feeling that when it comes to these situations, for some people (*cough*), the punishment itself is just as satisfying.
