    The CNN news stated that since there was no food or medicine, the looting is occuring.

    It is believed that those who are stuck in New Orleans have no way to get out either!

    Also, those stranded are bing trucked into transit camps. That should end the looting.

    A few .30 '06 rounds would help end it too.

    I know I'd defend my home if somebody came in. I think that's the cause of the sporadic gunfire they're talking about.

    IMO any looter stealing electronic appliances should be shot as a matter of principle, no questions asked.

    As THL said, what are we gonna do with them if we arrest them anyway?
    Few times I agree with sniper but here I do. Even looting of food looks like a total breakdown of order. Come on I think if people are able to oloot they can walk to / swim to the places where the US gevovernment is organising help.

    Those in New Orleans were told to evacuate - those that weren't able to do that were supposed to go to the Superdome. Therefore, those that didn't evacuate chose to put themselves into the situation, outside of some elderly who didn't have family to help them evacuate. One perspective is that they have put emergency rescue crews into danger through their disobedience of pulic announcements to evacuate and some probably stayed behind with the intentions of looting.

    I'm not advocating not to rescue these folks, but neither do I have much empathy for some of those that chose to place themselves into the situation.

    Now I read they are shooting at rescue choppers. Don't know if that's really true, but it's a reminder of why you shoot looters on sight and don't ask questions in emergencies like this. You can't have a rescue without order first.

    Am I the only bastard who would be awfully tempted to grab some beer if someone else has already smashed the window? I'm not condoning or promoting stealing jewelry and expensive stuff and wouldn't do so myself but some free food and a case of beer would be nice.

    I'm not an evil jerk just maybe a tad crooked I suppose. A product of my neighborhood, which isn't an excuse but it certainly makes me pause over a choice like this.

    Oh and as for the people told to leave but didn't. Too bloody bad leave em or make them pay for the costs like when some shmuck snowboards out of bounds. I think that's only fair.

    Of course you're tempted. Almost everyone is. That's why you shoot the first ones you see - word gets around that that beer ain't worth it and you'd just better sit tight.
