Should unarmed mobs be shot at?

[ILoveTRW]

Would a few deaths in London have been worth stopping the recent riots as soon as they started.
Supposedly Bloody Sunday and Kent State were the UK and the USs most embarrassing moments.

No you can't just shoot dead unarmed mobs. That's silly. But you can use stronger force like water cannons or even rubber bullets if needed. You don't need to kill.

[Shasown]

Only if they are threatening lives and there is no other way to prevent the deaths of others.

they are animals and should be treated as such

round them up like cattle and send them to the slaughterhouse

let them hang from ceiling on hooks digging deep into their torso flesh, submerge them in acid upto the waist, then leave them hanging until they die from slow agonising pain

then put out news bulletins on rolling news saying

OBEY THE LAW OR DIE

then cross over to weather update

Bit harsh to deal with someone like that for littering. But we should end up with cleaner streets.

Unless lives are being put at high risk ...no.

There are many other ways of crowd control..............tear gas, smoke, water etc.


How you can compare between the recent London/B'Ham/Manchester riots and Bloody Sunday, is completely beyond any comprehension.

WTF is that signature of yours all about.... surely it's far too big, it's stretching the page.


In answer to your question: the scary part is : I don't think they are !! :joker:
