Evert, I'm sorry, but I just can't respect people who don't respect human life, I don't believe that anyone here is such a cold hearted person that he would rather kill a guy than let him loot a fucking store.
I agree that looting peoples homes is just plain wrong, but ripping off some wall-mart or something is not something worth killing for.
And taking a life, to me is the ultimate crime, especially in situation like this, a guy carrying a tv from a store and some wacko comes and shoots him. There is no bigger crime than that.
But hey, like you said, a free country, people should be free to kill people with minimal penalty, WHERE IS THE FREEDOM TO LIVE IN THERE!
I can understand the looters, there are no insurance or social security to take care of you after this is over, you are on your fucking own. And for the big stores that get looted (not sure abot the smaller ones tho), insurance will cover most of their losses, and I don't think that a big chain will go belly up if one of it's stores is looted.
