Looters

My inlaws live in Ft. Walton Beach, FL which is pretty close to where Ivan impacted. In addition to media reports of looting, my inlaws have reported witnessing acts of looting on a massive scale. This is a disgrace. I must have been crazy to think that after 9/11 we would begin to take care of our own in this country. Well, I guess not. My mother-in-law told me that the reason they did not evacuate their house was in part because of looting that had occurred in other parts of Florida in the wake of Charly and Frances. I suspect that the death toll from Ivan was so much higher because people did not want to evacuate and leave their homes open to the kind of scumbags that would loot someone's home after a natural disaster.

Looters should be shot on sight without regard to the circumstances or if they are even armed. They are a species of vermin not fit to be allowed into the general population and should be treated accordingly. Looters are Blue Falcons.
