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.

You may have 6 points, but I've got more power.

Plus if you check your UserCP you'll be able to see who gave you them points

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...
