Default Re: Chaos in New Orleans

>>I STILL don't think people deserve to be murdered for looting. <<

Under the circumstances, this remark seems overwrought and hysterical.

The point of showing force to prevent looting - deadly force if necessary - isn't about "murdering" people. It's about preventing lawlessness and anarchy from escalating to unmanageable proportions, which is exactly what occurred here.

How many innocents are being raped, murdered, and assaulted by these roving gangs because action wasn't taken earlier?

I have no doubt that you are a goodhearted person. However, the real world often doesn't conform to the way we believe the world 'should' be.

Those who have some life-experience under their belts understand this very well. Those with less experience, or those that have been sheltered - naturally resist being disillusioned and have difficulty reconciling their notions with reality.
