That is what is needed, just imagion how the rioting and looting would have been lessoned if they had gotten that order in Los Angeles back in the Rodney King days. The only thing that stops the looters is guns, the Asian store owners held off all of the looters in LA by being armed and telling the looters to get out or they would be shot.
Salisbury store owners need to get themselves guns and start killing the robbers here. Working in a quick shopper in this town is very dangerous.

I have subscribed to that for years where there is rioting, looting, property damage etc for no reason at all. Must break a few eggs to make an omelet. Were I in charge I would make an announcement over every possible media, that if you are caught coming out of a business with an item, you better have a reciept or you are dead meat. Stupid is not doing what someone who is armed to the teeth, tells you to do. Dont have to like it but just get the heck out of the area. Example, Kent State years ago.....Armed National Guardsmen tell the students to disperse and they chose to argue. Guess going to college does not make one very smart. jackkcharl@aol.com

I agree with it. Some of the people in that city acted like animals after the hurricane. They deserved what they had coming to them.
