Police accuse woman, 73, of looting

[Dravyk]

WTF???

Holy shit, even IF the woman WAS "looting" ... which apparently is very much in doubt ... it was FOOD ... not plasma TVs!!!

... What a fucked up world we live in. Now that's the kind of cops I love to see pummeled and who make the good police officer doing a tough job wrongly ridiculed. Hurts everybody. Bastards.

wouldn't the owners of the store have to be the ones to press charges?

I thought that didn't matter in times of martial law.

Quite correct, Trev!

And we thought you were only here for your good looks.

If I was good looking - I wouldn't be here

No comment I could make on that article would be productive.

Don't get bigheaded over this, Trev, she probably just has gas.

was martial law declared? i guess i am out of the loop. for some reason i had almost no interest in this event. it was really really really terrible.... but i guess it feels like the news is so full or horror and tragedy all the time, that i feel at times that you can really get drawn too far into it emotionally. floods, fires, wars, famine, hurricanes, tornados, plane crashes etc etc etc... its all just too much for me anymore. i stopped paying attention.

although i have to admit that i did have a sort of morbid interest in seeing what would happen when you turn so many poor people loose with no control. as much as we want to believe in humanity, that segment of the population also represents a lot of drunks, junkies, people with low IQ's, criminals and so on.

From the reports on BBC News 24 and Sky News, martial law was enacted in the “blight” (their words – not mine) of the tragedy.

I don’t watch or follow the news be it on TV or online, unless I feel the need. Why?… Because I can only take so much shit and suffering before I become immune. I take little sips every now and then, that helps to keep it right there, where it should be.

They were actually given permission to shoot to kill at one point... And they did do so... One particular even I remember listening about on the local radio was when some people(I think it was about 7 people...) starting shooting at some cell phone people that were trying to repair the cell phone lines, they opened fire right back on them and killed a couple of them, injured the others...

But, yes, they were given permission to shoot to kill...
