And if you are killed in Texas for looting, the shooter will face no charges.

Imgur: don't punch Nazis. Also imgur: starving people taking food during a disaster deserves to be murdered

"You want us to call 911?" "He got 911 in his hand" best line

I dont feel like taking food during a disaster is the same as looting
kgbofficer
If people would only take food, that'd be a different story. People were stealing money and TVs from the store too, which is looting.
Bowl0f0ranges
i agree for sure

'Don't punch the guy that did a nazi salute in Germany'. 'Summarily execute looters'. Imgur's fickle as fuck on punishment.
LakeviewBulldog
Well one is a crime and one is not so... kind of apples to oranges.
JeremyBeadlesStrongerHand
Nazi saluting in Germany is a crime. Imgur got butt hurt because a German punched the guy. You're wrong there, sorry.
LakeviewBulldog
Oh. I thought we were talking about a free country. My bad.
JeremyBeadlesStrongerHand
'In Germany'. But that's okay. If you were educated in a free country I understand the lack of literacy skill!
BluBoxx
Incitement and fighting words are also crimes in the US
TheFeralDog
I only saw imgur agreeing with him being punched
JeremyBeadlesStrongerHand
You missed the gold mine comments then. The 'violence is always wrong' crowd is pretty vocal. Except when it comes to shooting people.
GavinScreaming
If I was in a nautical disaster and was starving I'd probably grab some food too.
TheFeralDog
You can go get food at plenty of places for free right now, without stealing

they were taking a TV not food. watch the video.
kgbofficer
Not just a TV, they tried the ATM too
barnwolf
A TV and medication that his mother needed or SHE WOULD DIE! /troll

Medication would be ethical, TV is would not.

What is a juggalo?
kgbofficer
Fanboys of the Insane Clown Posse
Ringshadow
There's a line in one of their songs "It blew me off the porch and cracked my head in half but I'm a juggalo so it only made me me laugh"
Ringshadow
That is so hard to explain. Look up "Insane Clown Posse."

Ah yes, I forgot the final amendment of the Bill of Rights: "During times of disaster, all looters shall be executed via Shotgun."

"those poor looters" *eyeroll*

Idk stealing food because you're starving and grabbing electronics are kinda different
erikfaze6
Which one is happening here, though?
TheFeralDog
Grabbing TVs and robbing an ATM

Shooting a looter that isnt looting your property is still murder
BluBoxx
Self defense in looting applies to third parties
wonttakno2
Unless he was asked by the owner of the property to protect it
TheOnlySon
Go ahead and try that, see how far you get in court.
TheFeralDog
Pretty far, in fact not a crime http://www.statutes.legis.state.tx.us/SOTWDocs/PE/htm/PE.9.htm See para 9.42 and third party 9.43
TheOnlySon
We don't know if that guy works there or owns the place
TheFeralDog
Doesn't matter 9.43 says 3rd party can
Crossark
Here in Texas, there's a law that allows for what would normally be a crime to be committed if the circumstances surrounding it are (1/2)
Crossark
sufficient to require it. Breaking into a supermarket to get food won't be considered "looting", but stealing cash will. (2/2)
TheFeralDog
So in this case as you can see in the full video it is a crime and he can legally kill them
Rystefn
That's the law pretty much everywhere
somenerandom
So basically, if a homeless person steals bread cause he's starving, it's ok? Just trying to understand.
Zephronias
No, you get sent to a prison labor camp for a couple decades, then become the mayor of a small French town.
d0o0o0d
It's not so much that it's legal as 'I was under duress, my life was in danger' is a valid defense. Bread/water would be OK, a TV would not.
DirtyLittleBirdyFeet
Here in Texas we believe in survival and hard work. We also believe in reason, shelters are out of food we would gladly donate the food 1/2
DirtyLittleBirdyFeet
So either way if its feeding and helping then we tend to turn the other cheek for some things. Thats why this is all going so well here.
Crossark
That's not necessarily considered "sufficient", since they could go to a shelter. If all the shelters were flooded, and if the food (1/2)
Crossark
on the shelves was going to go to waste because of that flooding, THEN it's usually considered okay. It's a judge's ruling, of course. (2/2)
Crossark
i.e.: If you have NO other means of guaranteeing survival, go ahead. Looting is done for personal game.
mweyamutsvene
Personal gain*
Crossark
Whoops, spaced out when I was typing. Though, devil's advocate here, it's possible some looters do it for, say, mounted deer heads.
