Looters Take Advantage Of Hurricane Irma
It is no wonder that so many homeowners don't want to leave their properties. I have just seen a video of the looters stealing just about anything that they can carry.
I know what I would do with looters. How would you punish them?

(Note that this was from Hurricane Katrina over a decade ago. Also note that I'm not remotely defending looting except in the rare cases that it could make the difference between life and death for those concerned.)

Hey everyone - for a change, let's not allow certain elements to sidetrack this thread in such a way so as to air their racist claptrap.
It'll make a refreshing change - so let's just ignore them.
My view is that if the looting is done for essential life-preserving items (water, batteries etc), then that's one thing.
But I've seen pictures of looting from sports shops.
That's totally unacceptable, and is being done by people who are just opportunistic thieves.

maybe those looting peoples hard-earned possessions might like to come across a live power-line in the flooded yard of the place they want to loot?
Also, I heard on the news this morning that some 'looters' weren't relieving the owners of their property, just food to feed their families.
Not everyone has the wherewithall to finance stocking up in such a situation.
(I'm going back to sit on the fence)

Does the caption with Jim's link read "Two residents wade through Chest Deep Water after finding bread and soda in a local grocery store?
A bit different from arm fulls of boxed adidas trainers and flat screen TVs then. Note the picture. They are up to their armpits in flood water. Hardly a bit of shopping with attitude is it?

Chris Graythen, who took the AFP picture and wrote the caption, said "I believed in my opinion, that they did simply find them, and not 'looted' them in the definition of the word. The people were swimming in chest deep water, and there were other people in the water, both white and black. I looked for the best picture. there were a million items floating in the water - we were right near a grocery store that had 5+ feet of water in it. it had no doors. the water was moving, and the stuff was floating away. These people were not ducking into a store and busting down windows to get electronics. They picked up bread and cokes that were floating in the water. They would have floated away anyhow."
