I think lots of FReeper's are loving this...after all they want to shoot all the looters without a trial or jury. They probably think they are 'looters who had it comin'...wait and see. Death by bullets or fire, it makes no difference to them, I'm sure.
I don't love this. I don't want this.
But threatening lethal force against looters was the only thing that kept them at bay after Andrew. And NOLA is much worse, being an urban setting where the buildings are still largely intact and many homes and businesses have valuables accessible to looters.
What an ignorant thing to say.
Freepers aren't loving this and it's disgusting to suggest such a thing.
And yes the looters should be shot. They are preventing rescuers from saving lives. Do you understand that?
There have been reports today that citizens (I think it was 1,000) with boats were trying to rescue people off roofs and the looters shot at them! I don't think that's okay to allow to go on. As well, they are setting fires. Deliberately. They have AK-47 and are shooting people. I don't think that's okay.
At this point, there are people dying and suffering. I couldnt give two hershey squirts about looters/gangs/rioters right now besides removing them from the problem.
Well your gangbanger looters are taking pot shots at any @ all rescuers.......So no rescues/evacutions have taken place today.
What a biggoted comment. Perhaps you think that way, I think that if these people aren't stopped babies are going to die and more elderly are going to die and if that means to shoot the trouble-makers, then shoot them and save the innocents.
