Shoot'em

[mhall]

I think there should be an international law that states if you are a Looter during a Natural disaster that the local government and law enforcement can shoot you dead like the scum you are. I'm serious just kill them and show it on the evening news for all to see. Do this and watch the looting profession dwindle real real fast.

Stack'em all up dig a big hole with Dozers and cover them all up like construction debris.

I'm with ya there! Terrible to see business owners and home owners taken advantage of.

Side note:....Wasn't some of the looters in "the Chocolate City" on the city payroll? Anyone remember seeing this? Maybe I'm wrong?

There is such a law...the "actual" owner of buisnesses or home owners; have a right to protect their property in times of natural or man-made disasters. "The" owner has to give a clear verbal warning that lethal measures will be used upon them, if they don't stop.
There is only one law in the books that will allow you to use leathal force, without a warning...and that situation is if they are "illegally" transporting classified matterials pertaining to nuclear weapons / bio-weapons...or nuclear matterials itself..only then can you use the term...shoot first and ask questions later (this is true).
Case in point....does anybody remember the event called "Ruby Ridge"? It involved a guy by the name of Randy Weaver. Well Randy Weaver was found not guilty...mostly becouse the FBI didn't give a proper warning when entering his property..or before they shot his son (I think he was only 15 years old) out in the woods with his coon dogs; they ended up killing his wife...his 11 month old son (one shot killed both of them) and his son-in-law....there is much to this event...I've researched it well...also Read the book writin by Jerry Spence...(he is the best lawyer in the USA)...he also represented Randy Weaver vs United States (FBI)....Randy actualy was acquitted of all charges. The story is unreal, but fact!...One all Americans should read (From Freedom to Slavery buy Jerry Spence). To make a very long story short...it was the first time in American history...that a FBI director (or any law inforcement officer) gave an order to "shoot first". Much happened right before he gave this order, on the ground at the Weavers land...(but he was in a jet, 30,000 feet over the US, when he gave this edict to his commanders). Anyway...just good info from US history...one they want put in any history books that is for sure.

In KY the castle law applies to your dwelling and no verbal warning must be given before shooting. Actually its tactically sound to do just that...ID target and shoot, no warning!

As for looting, if I run out of supplies and the excrement has REALLY hit the fan and my family is hungry or needs medical supplies, I am sorry, but I am doing what I need to do to keep my family alive. You wont see me carting off a new plasma TV or anything like that though. You can call me cruel but I will take from where ever or who ever the things I need.

Yea, I should have been more specific. I agree with you on the food thing. I was referring to people just stealing because they can, not because they have to. The government over there has already authorized grocery stores and the likes to give supplies away for free to those in need. I should have clarified because I do agree with what you said.

Are you 100% sure on that JD7...I can remember twice where individuals were shot for being inside the home to rob the place...and......
case one: the home owner woke up, heard somebody in his living room...he got up, grabed his Remington 12 gage he keeps by the bed, loaded...he just shot the man in his living room...gave no warning...just shot the dude with a 12 gage right there...The man shot, with a DVD player in hand...died on the spot; he was unarmed...the home owner was charged with 3rd degree man slaughter...was convicted and spet 3 years in prison. There was another person with the robber...he was the "look out"...standing at the doorway and witnesed the event. His testamony stood up in court. And one thing he said during the trial...was the home owner just steped around the corner and blasted him, with no warning. Like I said...3 years in the hosegow.
Case number two...this happended in Kentucky in my home town. The farm owner was asleep...but he woke up to use the bathroom...it was 3am. As the farmer was walking to the bathroom, he happened to look out the kitchen window to see a truck in his drive way. Knowbody was in the truck...as far as he could tell...thinking maybe somebody might be stealing some farm equipment in the barn...he went to his gun case and grabbed his deer hunting rifle...it was a 30-06. As he was walking to the back door...the door knob was turning...somebody is coming into the house, at this time in the USA, locking doors was unheard of. He backs off into the hall way, where it is dark...so that he could see who was coming into the house....the guy walks into the back porch and into the Kitchen...the farmer...seeing that the guy "wasn't anybody he knew" (this was his own testamony), shot the robber right in the chest with the 30-06...it hit him so hard it blew him back about 15 feet, back out on the porch, blood everywhere!!!...dead before he hit the ground. The farmer was found guilty of man slaughter in the 2nd degree! Had had to spend 4 years in prison...but got out in 2yr on good behavior. They said he was convicted... becouse he didn't give a waring...when the robber was outside the door...turing the knob...in other words...if he gave the warning...he prabably wouldn't have had to shoot him.
Just two that I know of for sure.

I am 100% positive. The Castle Doctorine is relatively new and may not have been in place when these cases were brought to court. We went over it briefly in our CCDW class. The castle doctorine actually applies to all building on your property, even barns and outbuildings. Deadly force may be used in any of these situations to stop a felony in progress in the state of KY. Would I shoot some one with my DVD player in their hand? Hell no, even if legally I could! If he dropped it and even looked like he was reaching for his waist band....with out even hesitating. The first step is ALWAYS to properly ID a potential threat before bullets start flying, that is why a nice torch should always be part of your home defense set up.

In a situation such as a major natural disaster, honestly it would probably be shoot first and ask questions later. However, the chances of any us being in that situation are so small compared to the chances of a home invasion.
