There is no due process... these thugs are processed then released. They're on video committing the crimes they're accused of, but they receive no justice. That's wrong. These railroads don't f**k around- they WILL move somewhere else if the DA and LE don't get on top of this..

Nobody said anything about "shooting EVERYBODY". Looters are NOT "everybody". Looters are special, and the only "due process" they deserve, is a good shot, that kills them instantly when in the process of looting.

That's one Hell of a deterrent to anybody else that decides to loot next time...

Looters are NOT "everybody". Looters are special
