Looting arson

Post by Lon »

There is absolutely no justification or excuse for looting and arson as a means of protest. Looters and Arsonists should be warned ahead of time by the media and public authorities and then shot on site as they perform these despicable acts. A civilized society has a right to preserve and protect it's property from those less civilized.

I could have cried for this lady when I saw her on the news last night. She started with nothing, making cakes at home and selling them until finally she could have her own shop... then Jackson looters did this to her.

‘Won’t give up!’ Prayers, support pour in for Ferguson woman whose cake shop was vandalized; Update: Fundraising goal surpassed — by tens of thousands | Twitchy

There Is no explanation and no excuse for this. Black protesters rioting about no Indictment for Officer Wilson then target a black lady. It goes to show, there Is no selection, just an excuse for violence, theft and vandalism.

I'm with you Lon... Just shoot the bastards.

So did the nazi's, so did the Chinese gov't at Tiananmen Square. How about charging the families of the shot looters the price of the bullets used to kill those who are not Obedient?

Your attitude sickens me lon, & no, I do not approve of looting or violence. Let the punishment fit the crime & the death penalty you suggest is not it. Nauseating.

Well Anne, what would be suitable punishment for looting and arson? It would appear to me that you are sympathetic to those that feel they are justified in commiting such acts. Am I wrong?

The looters & arsonists are not protesting about any just cause. If they were the target would not be their own people, but the establishment itself. They are merely out for their own opportunistic greed to steal whatever they can while the going's good. This is the sort of time when Martial Law would not be unreasonable.

I think her post clearly states that she does not.

Is what we are calling for, armed soldiers/police officers arbitrarily gunning down potential looters ? Or maybe those just carrying a flatscreen TV or a couple of pairs of Nikes ? What ever happened to the beloved concept of being judged before your peers and receiving the relevant, appropriate sentence if found guilty ? Its the sort of thing we've come to expect from the "axis of evil" totalitarian regimes we hate so much. Remember shaking your fist at the TV when the tanks entered Tianamen square ? The evil,uncivilised bastards !

You are absolutely wrong. Death is not the penalty for property crimes. If that were so, there would be very few people left to work on Wall Street, Mortgage Bankers, etc. The Supreme Court has already ruled that the Death Penalty only applies to the proven Deaths of Humans. It does not apply to rapists, torturers, mutilators of persons, so why should it apply to thuggery? The suitable punishment is trial by jury, or judge if the defendant chooses & suitable prison terms and/or strict community service, house arrest, depending on the circumstances of the looter's situation. You are ignoring lawful capture & punishment. You are being Disobedient to the American Constitution. So, you are being a despot. A tyrannical one, especially in your use of the word 'obedience.'

As well, since admittedly many people who commit this crime are young and of color, I'm suggesting you are being anti-youth, & what's worse, a racist in calling for your solution.

So the looters & arsonists who attack their peers, whilst destroying & stealing their property in the name of a supposed injustice to a known armed robber who got shot whilst attacking a police officer are being obedient to the Constitution?

I'll give an answer for Ann.

Looting and arson are not "civil disobedience", they are crimes with victims who suffer real consequence.

We have laws regarding arson and violence against persons and property.

What a magical world you live in.

That is to know the intent of somebody as he is busting your door open. Creeping in anytime and I am suppose to know what risk I am in?

You got it all backwards. It is your "burglar" who assumes the risk of being on the bloody end of a 12 gage.

Here is a hint.

Burglary is dangerous. Just don't do it.

You think that's crazy? Because of the import of stupid No Win No Fee American style litigation lawyers there have even been cases of burglars suing house owners for damages after injuring themselves by tripping on a stair carpet, claiming Health & Safety At Work, because of the house being their workplace.

The reason we have such Laws is to protect estranged wives or husbands from getting shot while wandering the marital home late at night.......and the ex shooting them by 'mistake'

I could give other examples.

Remember our legal system goes back a little longer than when you lot were shooting up Redcoats and Native Americans just to survive.....

Shooting up Redcoats? You have that backwards, Bruv. Redcoats were the ones shooting the colonists who wanted the freedom of their own country.

PS.......Europeans did plenty of harm to native populations. It's getting sickening that Europe is taking responsibility for none of it's own ills they perpetrated for thousands of years.

Any punishment other than shooting and killing arsonists & looters while they commit the crime will not stop future outbreaks of arson and looting. Fear of being killed while committing a crime very likely would.

The bankers who ripped us off on Wall Street in 2008, ruined economies of nations, ruined lives also know they can get away with it, so much for punishment. Maybe "Fear of being shot and killed while committing the act could very well stop future outbreaks" of Financial Corruption. But you'd rather shoot a bunch of hot-headed black teenagers who don't effect you at all, or the great majority of the population. What does this say about YOU, Lon? It says what I already did. Your priorities are all screwed up & you're more than willing to eat your young.

Then why is there still crime? In case you haven't heard, murder is against the law, & in many states you will lawfully forfeit your own life for the five minutes of fun you've had killing someone. Statistics show fear of punishment does not lower crime rates. Again, you are wrong.

On the contrary. Your link also cites quite a few cases of this type. Just because a lawsuit is brought forward doesn't mean it's successful.

You are talking about crime in general which is different than the infectious mob arson and looting. I beg to disagree that shooting arsonists and looters would be ineffective. Murders are typically committed by individuals and there is no mob influence.

The definition of murder is with premeditation. I consider going out with baseball bats, petrol, bottles & rags for wicks to be pretty much premeditated. Yes, there are those that will get caught up in the heat of the moment, but it is always initiated with malice aforethought.
