It's not technically looting otherwise they could be shot. The one heartening thing is that some of the locals that have been interviewed are horrified by the events. What I don't understand is the difference between looting and stealing by finding. And *could* they still be shot? It seems unlikely as we no longer have capital punishment, even for the worst of crimes. I do hope that some of the grinning buffoons who have boasted about their loot get shot-or perhaps a quick slap. There was an incident round here when a woman crashed her car and by the time the Ambulance arrived she had "lost" her handbag and laptop. I think folk sometimes take the "every cloud has a silver lining" to extremes. The first time I went to Italy, my ex husband and I arrived to stay with his aunt and uncle, just outside Turin. I'd never met them before. As we were having tea, the phone rang to tell his aunt that her mother in law had been knocked down and killed on a zebra crossing. It had taken the police and hospital hours to identify her by the initials inside her wedding ring because, as she lay dying, someone stole her handbag. The world is full of people that define the word 'scum'. And today, we read of one woman whose car was hit by a falling branch in the storms and wrecked. She, her son and her mother were lucky to escape with their lives. Police told her to leave it where it was until she could arrange for its disposal, because it was un-driveable. So when she went back next day, there was a parking ticket on it AND someone had stolen the stereo! -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon http://www.discoverdartmoor.co.uk/ (remove weeds from address) |
