In so many words:

"In short, Louisiana law does not require that you die on behalf of someone else's ownership claims.
"I assure you, if it ever comes to a choice between my family's life and your food, you lose!"

That is an implied threat that you will at least mug or maybe kill some1 who has some food.

You may not have meant it, but that's how it comes off.

"In short, Louisiana law does not require that you die on behalf of someone else's ownership claims. "I assure you, if it ever comes to a choice between my family's life and your food, you lose!"

Wrong. it's MY food for MY family. If you tried to steal it, you'd end up with a hunk of lead blowing the back of your skull off. YOU LOSE.

It's a shame really. If you would have asked nicely, maybe I would have shared it. That would be MY decision however.

No, there was no threat there at all. But the guy neer expressed any intention to ever be charitible ~ in fact, he advocated criminal punishment for folks taking food to feed their families in a disaster.

That means I can not trust such a person under those conditions.
