Frankly, I wouldnt have too much of a problem with them taking the stuff if they were taking food and other nessacities for their family and maybe even dry clothing if they were wearing rags, but the people stealing the TVs, microwaves and such need to be shot on sight.

Screamer- In Lousiana and Texas, you can shoot someone if they are on your property and are a theat to you OR your property. Frankly, I dont see a jury convicting someone for shooting a looter in their store. Also, I don't think Flareside meant anything racial by it, just made an observation. Not everything that involves race is racist.

Maybe not KILL them....but at least MAME them.....

Robbing a residence is another thing entirely in my opinion. Especially if the residence is occupied.

I left New Orleans on Friday afternoon and I am feeling really lucky, as many times as I have been there those levees have always been in the back of my mind. You have to walk up several steps to look at the Mississippi. It really puts it into perspective.,,,,98

Oh and thanks for turning it racial, lol. This thread will die soon now


I could line a group of thiefs up much easier than I chould shoot one deer....

Flareside, you better not ever bring up the fact that all the terrorists that flew into the WTC were Muslim, you might get bitch slapped and called a racist.

Calm down folks...lol I don't think killing is necessary for minor theft...but if it were your own personal property you were defending (house, etc), then I say go for it if that's what it takes to keep YOUR stuff. This is not a race issue. It's a problem with ethics and morality in general.

On a somewhat related note...maybe. If I hear one more person on TV bitching about how they need water, this that and the other, I'm going to scream. It's as if (from listening to their tone of voice) we don't care and the whole country is just sitting around on it's *** doing nothing to help them. That's bull and they should be smart enough to know it. Millions have already been donated to the Red Cross by individuals...more by the evil corporations. Some people just have no gratitude at all. I'd be happy to be alive first of all. Then I'd be happy if someone would just get me the hell out of there.

LOL Look, I don't mind ANY person "finding" bread and other things you NEED. But I do mind people taking advantage of others in this terrible situation by looting/stealing guns, electronics, etc. There's no excuse to be breaking into places that don't even have food or supplies to survive.

A might touchy aren't you Fatz? A simple statement.... did anyone notice all the news footage of the looting was black people. You really pushed semantics to the limit to read racist into that comment.

Maybe the news guys and gals were all Republicans! Oh, we know that can't be true, it was stated on here somewhere that all newspersons are Democrats.

One things for certain, it's great to see we all have opinions on F150Online. I have one too... Shoot all the looters, and let God sort them out.

Theyre starting to move people into the astrodome and most of the hotels in this part of TX are all full. I just hope the looters dont make their way over here and think they can keep up with that crap here.

What a shame.
