A question receives it's answer!

2:40 P.M. - AP Analysis: When is looting okay?
2:37 P.M. - CNN Reports that snipers have fired shots on Charity Hospital in New Orleans.
2:31 P.M. - WASHINGTON (AP) -- With images of looting and reports of gunfire frightening evacuees and rescuers alike in New Orleans, the government says it is sending enough National Guardsmen to keep the peace.

Looting is not okay. Restoration and keeping of civic order is first priority, and that means stopping looters by deadly force if needed, setting no-enter zones, establishing curfews, confiscation of goods and impounding of people -- forcing them to do what tasks and labors that are necessary for order and survival. Only the saving of immediately endangered lives takes precedence.

Excerpted from another thread on another board:

"I've just learned from one of my patrolmen that just returned from New Orleans, that there are snipers on top of the charity hospital. They've looted and are burning the Oakwood Mall. Once again they have killed police officers, this time Gretna Police Department lost 4 officers, slain in the line of duty."

Just keep this in mind, this is unconfirmed information but could be related to your CNN post.
