"Looters will be shot"

He misspelled the word shot with something that looks like killed.

Jimmy Buffett
Trying To Reason With Hurricane Season
Written by - Jimmy Buffett
From - A-1-A
Squalls out on the gulf stream
Big storm's comin' soon
I passed out in my hammock
And God I slept 'til way past noon
Stood up and tried to focus
I hoped I wouldn't have to look far
I knew I could use a Bloody Mary
So I stumbled next door to the bar

And now I must confess, I could use some rest
I can't run at this pace very long
Yes it's quite insane, I think it hurts my brain
But it cleans me out and then I can go on

There's somethin' about this Sunday
It's a most peculiar gray
Strollin' down the avenue that's known as A1A
Feelin' tired, then I got inspired
I knew that it wouldn't last long
So all alone I walked back home
Sat on my beach and then I made up this song

And now I must confess, I could use some rest
I can't run at this pace very long
Yes it's quite insane, I think it hurts my brain
But then it cleans me out and then I can go on

Well the wind is blowin' harder now
Fifty knots or thereabouts
There's white caps on the ocean
And I'm watchin' for water spouts
It's time to close the shutters
It's time to go inside
In a week I'll be in gay Paris
That's a mighty long airplane ride

And now I must confess, I could use some rest
I can't run at this pace very long
Yes it's quite insane, I think it hurts my brain
But it cleans me out and then I can go on

Yes it cleans me out and then I can go on

Shot doesn't mean killed. Killed on the other hand means he is a good shot. So yes, "looters will be killed" describes the way in which looters will be shot.

If it's edited, then my reply lacks any relevant context and I come off looking like an idiot.

.....and I certainly don't need any help looking like an idiot.
I'm more than capable of doing that all on my own.

I did emergency response for Andrew and boy was the "you loot we shoot" sentiment out. And good reason...it was like the wild west with no traffic lights, no law, armed gangs, 82nd ABN. I was based with the Marines ( I was EPA) out at the water treatment plant with the loose monkeys we thought had AIDS. Lots of guns those two weeks.

He's still got his beer holder and shotgun, so it's Busch time. Looks a lot like Tommy Frank, don't he?

If you hit the post button, by mistake, instead of edit, this is what you'll get.

Ohhhh you mean you didn't play with the escaped monkeys from Monkey Jungle?!?!?!

One of the funniest stories out of Andrew was security and nuclear operators at Turkey Point Nuke plant chasing an escaped chimps all over the reactor areas after Andrew.

We have all been there in one way or another.

....and if anyone hasn't, then they are just not trying hard enough.
