Excellent. Progress. So. If the "thug shooter" threatening the
survivors by making the situation worse should have been shot, how then
do you justify in your mind that the looter, threatening what little
order remains, is any different? It's a criminal act which is
endangering the honest people who are victims.

Because a looter, if unarmed, is not a danger like a thug with a gun.

And what makes you think that the looter isn't likely to be armed?

Why is he likely to be armed? Does he need to be armed to steal a tv from a
Walmart?


We
don't kill robbers, so why is it suddenly ok to do so in that situation?

Because their activities are interfering with rescue efforts. Do try to
keep up.

So are those stealing food. Go arrest them too and tell them to wait for
the MRE's.
