It already has.

This is a perfect reason why there were secret meetings on how to deal with the masses...Iron Mountain comes to mind.

The looters are animals plain and simple. They should be delt with the same.

It seems that NOPD is one of the worst in the country. When I lived there, there was a very thin line between the cops and the criminals. In fact, it often seemed like the cops were just criminals with a badge.

......One man, who had about 10 pairs of jeans draped over his left arm, was asked if he was salvaging things from his store.

"No," the man shouted, "that's EVERYBODY'S store!"

Looters at a Wal-Mart brazenly loaded up shopping carts with items including micorwaves, coolers and knife sets. Others walked out of a sporting goods store on Canal Street with armfuls of shoes and football jerseys.

Outside the broken shells of Biloxi's casinos, people picked through slot machines to see if they still contained coins and ransacked other businesses. "People are just casually walking in and filling up garbage bags and walking off like they're Santa Claus," said Marty Desei, owner of a Super 8 motel.

When was the last time looters were shot on sight in the US?

Looters specifically – I don’t know. I did know an old guy that shot a kid who was on his property trespassing. Shot him something like 12 times with a .22 rifle. That was in July of 1974, IIRC.

I remember the lieutenant talking to his mom (she and her three doper sons had moved to Texas from Illinois) and telling her that if her son didn’t want to get shot he shouldn’t be poking around someone else’s property at night. Pissed her off in a big way and she couldn’t understand why the old guy was never arrested or tried – but he wasn’t.

Funny to think that only 30 years ago people took such things much more seriously (trespass/looting/whatever) and it wasn’t tolerated.

Just an observation... 100% of the looters being shown on Fox news right now are black.

Really? I saw quite a few white ones.

"Just an observation... 100% of the looters being shown on Fox news right now are black."

Not true. I saw at least two white men looting. The interesting thing is that they don't realize they have been captured on video for future prosecution, assuming they manage to survive the disease, lack of food and water. Let them eat their stolen TVs.

A good percentage of them will be "floaters" by tomorrow. (smart enough to loot, too stupid to leave)

Right now I'm more interested in how the wounded officer is. Why was he shot if the looters are doing it in front of other police officers.

What are these fools going to do with all of the loot if they have to evacuate?

Also, does any one know how the Cathedral is?

"The governor has to step up and put out a shoot to kill order or this will become Beruit by morning."

I believe he already has. He gave strict orders to law enforcement to come down hard on looters.
