Re: What should happen to the New Orleans looters?
[ QUOTE ]
Seriously, do you not think that police have better things to be doing in New Orleans right now than worrying about looters? [/ QUOTE ] I agree. If they shoot them, they won't have to worry about them.

Re: What should happen to the New Orleans looters?
Do you honestly believe that petty theft is deserving of the death penalty? How do you square that with the notion that the punishment fit the crime?

The problem with looting is that it goes beyond theft - it is like a contagion that results in catastrophic damage if left unchecked. Again, look at what happened in Bahgdad when looting went unchecked - it destroyed not only property and infrastructure, but resulted in a significant (and potentially catastrophic) delay in the rebuilding effort. Now, the damage in New Orleans is so catastrophic that perhaps the property damage aspect is somewhat moot. However, the concomitant breakdown in social order has resulted in armed gangs roving the streets, looting and in all probability raping and killing with wanton abandon. Without martial law, this can only deteriorate.

Re: Shoot Them........
I'm sorry vulturesrow---I know these lunatics are not representative of "conservatives," "Christian values," and numerous other positions they frequently stake out for themselves. Still, its hard for the loony-lefties like me not to tar the whole lot of "you" with their adolescent theatrics.
