Now That They’ve Declared Martial Law, Can They Shoot the Looters?

Obviously, I can look it up and figure out what the declaration of Martial Law entails, but I just hope it means that somebody in Army camo with a big M16 machine gun can round up all those bastard looters in New Orleans and shoot ’em. Food to feed your family is one thing, but the idiots breaking into stores for the sole purpose to steal valuables (like clothes, electronics, etc…, like many of the looters were doing in full view of TV cameras) need to get beaten to death.

Looters should be shot on site. Like dogs. Bodies would be collected, and burned in a mass grave. If you ACT like an animal, you die like an animal.
The guarantee of swift and violent justice for criminals ensures less criminal activity. The less chance of losing everything one has to criminals the less likely anyone is to stay behind to protect their goods.
It will save lives in the long run.

Let’s be clear on this. Do you want all looters shot, including the ones stealing food and water for their families that they cannot get any other way?
If so, say so.

Yogimus says:

ANY looter entering a private residence gets shot. Man, woman, child.
Looters carrying foodstuffs and water are not “looters” in my book. Just people that are extremely stupid, suffering for poor life decisions.
I see you dragging a TV around, BLAM!

Josh says:

If the TV they’re hauling has water flowing out of it, they can keep it.

Yogimus says:

No, because that same futhermucker hauling the TV around will escalate in criminal behavior.
Shoot the guy before he kills someone.

So the penalty for stealing a TV is death now is it? God help America, because the powers that be seem impotent.

Anonymous says:

you people are f-cking insane. violence only begets more violence and nobody deserves to die for stealing bread- even if it is out of a private residence. most of the people left in new orleans have been stranded there because they were too poor, old, or uneducated to evacuate with everyone else, not because they are bad or greedy people. inevitably, all who are left there at this point must be desperate. i cannot believe that the idea of a stollen tv could incite such violent dialogue on this website ESPECIALLY in light of the suffering that persists right now. YOU people are the animals.

D says:

Oh, c’mon! I see two extremes that seem to plague our America these days. First, the extreme use of violence and an ideology that must be all together controlled….and second, what sounds like a bleeding heart liberal who wants to hug the looters rather than ensure safety for the truly innocent and desperate people stricken by this tragedy. Give me a break. Those “animals” described are created by a society that doesn’t follow through with firm consequences for your OWN actions. On the other hand, the knee jerk reaction to kill everyone will not solve the problems either. I for one am for strong security, ….yes, shoot the looters who are violent, damaging, and steeling for their own greed, i.e. steeling a TV, stereo…those people didn’t need this hurricane to be thiefs. They were criminals long before any of you ever cared about what they were doing. In the end we need SWIFT, CERTAIN JUSTICE for the evil criminals but we also need compassion, mercy and a willing heart to reach out and help those that are TRULY in need down there. In the end, a balance instead of a “kill all” or “hug all” mentality. By the way, have any of you volunteered your time, labor, money to help? I am leaving this computer to do just that. I hope you will do the same. Most of all, those people need PRAYER!! God is the ultimate healer and the only true savior for those people. Let Him work through you for the mercy, and work through others to secure the justice. Good luck!

Bill says:

All looters should be shot on sight and left for the dogs. When you kill enough of the rodent vermin there will be no more to loot . These people revert to animals when the poop hit the fan and are of no use to those attemping to restore society, treat them like radid animals.

Cooper says:

Personally i dont care if they are shot or not, im just pissed off at the american gov for not doing shit all about it, they looked after all the rich people but didnt do shit all for the poor, its just stupid, what kinda government is that?! if youve got money you will be saved, but if you dont then you die, i think bush is the one who should be shot! but what also sucks is the way everyone is acting because of the disaster, they are all like “Hey there is a flood and people are dieing, i know, how about i go steal a TV, shoot some people and rape a child or two” for crying out loud, when the tsunami hit indonesia the majority of people worked togeather and rebuilt stuff with in a week, it took twice that long for the government of america to let forien people come help out!

Maddog says:

Are you guys for real or what ? You can’t just shoot some poor stranded,uneducated,starving person for looting food or water.That’s the kind of thing those dot-heads in the Middle East would do! or have we forgotten why we are at war to begin with? These People are Human Beings!
AMERICAN Human Beings. It is our responcibility as a nation to help these people
noone can blame someone for trying to feed themself or their family in a disaster of this magnatude. Yes anyone armed and aggressive should be taken out POP-POP
But let the ones who carry food alone. I’m reading this crap you clowns are writing and you should be ashamed of yourselves.
it’s IGNORANT i can tell by the spelling errors ! so shut up & cut someone a check
if you can spell RED CROSS- or check here for the correct spelling !!

bingo says:

i’d say that you are just jealous 😉

spelling errors says:

Notice when a person makes fun of spelling errors, they have a crappy point to make and have nothing else to say, except you can’t spell. That is sad. Who cares if you don’t dot your I’s and cross your T’s when your typing quickly on the Net.

Cooper says:

lol “dot heads” you racist tosser, you just want the world to be ethnecly clenzsed (heheheh i was gonna write this whole thing is spelling errors but thats more effort, also fixing them is effort) so wtf is with you, just because someone is american their life is worth more than a “dot heads”? and ur bitching about valuing life, what about the hundreds of thousands of innocent people who got killed by both sides of the war? do they not matter because they arnt american? and as for the whole red cross thing, my contrys government donated $5billion to help, do you know how much your contry donated to help the tsunami thing? less than $5million!!! so suck my ass you racist bastard! get off ur mantle coz u dont belong there o.O

Maddog says:

Hey Cooper:
So Go to YOUR country’s capital & kiss your
Pres’s Ass! As if i care how much money your country gave to tsunami victims. The fact is
there are places on this planet that are not meant to be inhabited by human beings. People will continue to live in these places & when disaster strikes some of them will die.
The point i was making when you decided to call me names was people shouldn’t be shot like dogs for trying to feed themselves.
Anyone Normal that reads that will agree.

Maddog says:

hey cooper:
i could care less what your country gave to tsunami victims. How much did YOU – JUST YOU give to hurricane victims ? or shall i wait for you to tally what your whole country gave?
as far as the name calling…..I am not going to
lower myself to some lowlife Illiterate losers level. Go back to the 6th grade,try to learn how to spell and have a nice Illiterate life.

Cooper says:

You know, when you wrote “Illiterate” the I should’nt of been uppercase. And again i say, its lame mocking someone for spelling errors because they are not allways stupid, mostly they are just lazy. If i couldnt spell how would i do my job? I work at a youth magazine! And i gave around $500 over around a month. And just so you know the reason i brang up how much my contry put in was because America donated less than my contry and America has more than three times the population, not to mention you’re sentance;
“These People are Human Beings!
AMERICAN Human Beings.”
Seems to imply that american life is of more value than other peoples life and when you make American life to be consitered more valuable than other contrys you are just being a moron, i dont mean moron as in the insult, i mean as in the kind of moron that is so desprerate to try to get his point across that he has to goto such lengths as bitching about spelling errors or ‘typos’, i mean really, whats spelling got to do with the slack responce by bush when it came to helping other people. You also said “as far as the name calling…..I am not going to lower myself to some lowlife Illiterate losers level” but before that you also said “That’s the kind of thing those dot-heads in the Middle East would do! or have we forgotten why we are at war to begin with?” So let me get this straight, you won’t stoop to name calling unless its to make a racist comment? I mean comeon! Are you really that stupid or are you just so egotistical that it effects your tiny little minds ability to problem solve or make,.. sence! Oh, and one more thing before i go; if one is illiterate that doesnt mean they can’t spell, it means they also can’t write sentances with correct punctuation, which you’ve done quite a bit, so try getting a dictionary before you make more of an idiot of you’r self. Spleellling is emportant!
