I initially thought they shouldn't shoot them, but now I'm fully in favor of it. When they started stealing guns, it was time to take off the gloves.
Actually, it was time long before that. The stores were willing to give away water and food, and even diapers and necessities, so people could just have lined up for that, and it could have been distributed by some of the neighbors or the police. Once they moved beyond food, it should have been time to start shooting.
It would only have taken a few shots then; I don't know what it's going to take now.
I have no doubt parties of the damned are taking place....
taking full advantage of the chaos, preying on people, dissipating off the contraband they have looted, carousing in the residences of others, away from the law or any societal constructs, they dance the dance of the doomed.
Now the Mob feeds on it's own raw emotions, gaining strength, confidence and we're screwed anyway so let's go really nuts.
God help all those who come into their clutches.
