EVACUATED PEOPLE CANNOT LOOT
think about it. If everyone would be evacuated, amazingly, the looting problem disappears, no?

1. I thought I was the onliest one who realized that.
Someone should tell the media and the government because apparently none of the geniuses in those places have figured that out yet. Should it be you or me who makes the calls? :)

6. I'll inform my Congressman
Since he's Republican, I'll probably have to tell him twice, but WTF, I got time.

7. Bad news...I could not interest them in that perspective. instead
they just kept telling me about how bad the looting problem is.

sigh. At least I talked to a real person, for all the good it did me.

3. Not all people will leave, and there is an issue with doing it by force
I am not sure the legal things, but I am to understand that they can not make you leave by gunpoint....

Not sure.

4. Its martial law
they can do it by gunpoint, or by shooting you and evacuating you via the morgue.

That being said, I don't see it being that extreme.

5. but shooting them for looting is ok?
just checking.

listen, this isn't rocket science: evacuate everyone, and noone is left to loot. Both problems solved.

However, STOP rescue operations and both problems are increased.
