Shoot Them On Sight

I don't have much against people taking food or diapers in an emergency, even a change of clothing. In law, it's called the "defense of necessity" (of course, you're supposed to pay back later, of which in this case, fat chance).

But looters threatening a children's hospital? Or stealing televisions when there's no power?

I would announce a very simple policy, which should have been implemented in Baghdad: "Looters will be shot on sight." A concept that wonderfully concentrates the mind, as the old saying goes.
