  • Samedeal after Katrina, after Jerrod. Texas, after anywhere a devatating tragedy has occured. I say post warnings, then shoot on sight. Period.

    • After Sandy hit last year too. I laughed like hell at the signs people made saying they would shoot looters. I wonder how many people on Long Island even own a gun anymore?

  • The way things work the looters are now fully employed according to the Obama labor department. Forward!

  • National Guard used to shoot looters. Maybe we should bring a few home from Krapistan and put 'em to work @ OKC.

    (Especially since Homeland Security is busy chasing Tea Partiers)

  • They had to settle for copper and other metals because Corporate Greed already stole all the gold.

  • How thoughtful and convenient that the shooting range should supply walk-in targets. These modern amenities are wonderful - usually you have to go looking for scumbags.
