Rescuers Fired Upon. What Should Be The Response?

[Lancer]

We should nurture them, wuv them. They may be short of food, water or ammo, I feel their pain. :sniff:

I have little sympathy for thugs and criminals in general, and even less in survival situaions. People are dying because of these criminals action. This is a life or death situation for tens of thousands of people. These people have chosen death.

My thoughts exactly.

Anybody who shoots at a National Guard unit is going to get a nasty surprise, whatever their orders are.

Do it the American way. Send in a C-130 gunship to clean out the insurgents

Don't forget the cluster bombs.

There will be 50,000 soldiers in the area by next week, not that it matters much. Anyone still there by next week will probably be dead.

Just what would be the motive in shooting on the rescuers?

[Footie Mad]

Keeping them away so they can loot more, and giving authority the finger. Probably criminals seeing their chance to get some power.

We get unadjusted, imbecile immigrants in advanced stages of megalomania attacking fire brigades and ambulances all the time.

IF some gangbangers start shooting at choppers making rescue missions, shooting at rescue workers, I say shoot back and shoot to kill, shoot first and shoot for thrills.

Just let everyone know, that no gun fights with rescue workers or authorities will go by without that person(s) being a)arrested and given life by default with no chance for parole b) gunned down.

In the name of rescuing those who want to be saved, instead of being chased away by PUNKS who deserve to die.

I was actually of the opinion that NO should have taken the tact of police comish of Charleston(?) after Hugo, wherein he gave blanket order looters would be shot. (Now given scavenging for food and necessities does not to my mind constitute looting)

[Frankychan]

I agree. Fire on them. But it probably isn't that simple. Rules of engagement, Public Opinion, firing on American citizens, blah blah blah.

The ACLU would be on that like flies on dung.

What ROE doesn't give you the opportunity to defend yourself if you are fired upon? That's right, you can shoot back if someone shoots at you . And if someone is threatning to shoot you and has a weapon, you can shoot them first. And if there's criminal gangs with weapons and they are in group, threatning and/or shooting at you, you can shoot them all, even the ones running away from you. That's the law. Now only thing you need to do is obey it and use it to it's full potential.
