Having read posts from several USMB members suggesting that those who break curfew or are caught looting ought to be shot on sight, I think it is a discussion worth having.
Do you believe that law enforcement officers should have the authority to shoot people seen after curfew.....or seen looting?
If so......what do you think is the end game? What do you think would result?
If not......how should looters and curfew breakers be dealt with?
Be home when the street lights come on. And don't make me tell you again or I'm calling Santa!
Nope, you didn't explain anything. You just said you agreed and "apples and oranges." That is not an explanation. Try again.
I have already told you.
I do not feel like trying again!
Get it?
You told me what? What did you tell me? What post number was that?
Why is it a stupid question? It seems like a valid question to me, and obviously some people do feel that it's okay to shoot and kill looters/vandals or those who are disobeying the authorities, or "the man" if you think that makes me sound more like a lib.
so my lovely Chris-what would you do--there are 200 urban utes running wild in the streets smashing windows, taking what they want and firebombing other stores.
I would be sitting behind cover with as much ammo as I could pack stacking them up like cordwood as fast as I could and I sure would want the cops blasting a bunch of the scum as well
If I was in charge of the police department? I would do what the police do now and add some more nonlethal weapons to my arsenal. I mean, come on, we cannot give the authorities the power to shoot and kill citizens! That is . . . outrageous.
If I was a property owner, I would arm myself and my family and friends and protect my property with all the fire power I could muster. I think it is a citizen's right to protect his or her own property, but I never want to see the day when the police can shoot us for looting, and that would be okay. That is just frightening because we ALL know that the government loves to abuse it's power, cheat, lie, and steal as well.

You got trolled.

You have no more right to shoot someone stealing from you than the police do.
I suppose that most of the "do gooders" here have never ever stolen anything, not even a candy as a child?
Stealing is NOT a death penalty offense.

Funny old shitting bull wants to claim board racist have prejudged Brown while the far left loons here do the exact same with the police officer.
It's called fighting fire with fire. BTW, Michael Brown was unarmed and murdered for jaywalking.
And...you know this how?

The same why they knew everything about the Zimmerman case before it ever went to trial they just know.
These thugs are terrorizing the town. Shoot enough of them and that will put a stop to it.These are the same USMB members who compare President Obama to Hitler -- they are now in favor of Summery Executions for non-capital offense crimes.
Yeah, we have some real winners around here...

There is some differentiation between stealing and looting. Looters should be deterred using any method that is effective.
A white Michael brown should suffer the same fate.The Michael Brown murder has really brought out the neanderthal racists. It's really sickening.
Well, to me, allowing the police departments to shoot people for civil unrest is giving up freedom for security. What if you ever want to protest the government? Do you think they would not use this against YOU too? Think about it.I suppose that most of the "do gooders" here have never ever stolen anything, not even a candy as a child?
Stealing is NOT a death penalty offense.
that's much different than people who ignore a curfew and engage in looting and anarchy in an area of civil unrest
Sure, the circumstances are different, but basically both are stealing. I don't know about you, but I don't want this to be a police state where the police use lethal force to force me to obey them. That sounds like China or something to me. Sounds very, very bad. We have other nonlethal means available. In a lot of other countries, they use water cannons which seem to be quite effective at dispersing large crowds.

To some RWs, a TV is worth more than a human life.

If it's my TV, that I worked for so hard to earn and you just want to take it because you think you are owed? Yeah, that TV is worth more than your life. Your life apparently can't even produce the purchase of your own TV so you need to steal it from me and claim it's no big deal I should just let it go and earn another?
You know what? I also earned and purchased the gun and hollow points to protect me and my TV. You can have one of those for free. Go earn your own fucking TV or get the bullet I purchased as well as the welcoming party to taking something that doesn't belong to you.
Anything I own due to my hard work is absolutely more valuable than the life of some asshole trying to take that away from me.
Steal from me and yes it's a death penalty offense and if I can do anything about it you and your pathetic life will come to an end before you get my TV.

That's fine. Protect your own stuff. That is completely different than allowing GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES (which is what the police technically are) to show up and to start shooting live rounds at crowds of people for looting. That is just stupid and dangerous.
I am all for self defense though.
I know who I would shoot on sight! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
nah joking
Other people want to kill me first! Lol!
