Question A possible solution to rioting and looting:

When I was a young lad (1955) I remember there was severe flooding in Waterbury CT. This was because of two back-to-back hurricanes that saturated the land. This flood destroyed buildings and almost 90 people died.

What I remember is that the governor called in the National Guard and gave the following order: "If you see anyone looting, shoot to kill." I believe that put a stop to it.

Why don't we do that anymore?
