Yes, there has. Shooting looters has been an accepted precedent. Even SF shot looters in the 1906 earthquake.

Thanks, I thought so. But of course Democrat cities don’t respect the lives of those poor people being looted.

Of course they did. SF in 1906 was a very different place than it is now.

There is a very interesting film shot just a few days before the earthquake/fire. It was shot on a cable car going down Market Street to the Embarcadero. At the very end, as the car is being turned on a turntable to go back up Market Street, the camera pans across the face of an old man with a beard. He could have been a part of the Gold Rush. S.F. wasn’t all that old in 1906.

Sadly some people trapped on the tops of burning buildings were also shot as there was no way to save them from being burned alive.
