Looters of MH17 should be shot on site. Yes or no?

Just read the news this morning about looters combing through the crash site stealing from the dead.

I am very angry.

What kind of filth does this?

The question posed is rhetorical....they should ALL be shot on site.

What's your opinion?

    Ukraine is probably full of impoverished people who saw items strewn in the crash site that they have never seen before that their hearts were full of desires to take them for their own use instead of putting them away so they could be used for identification etc and possibly return to the families of the passengers.

    WHy are some human traits of coveting other peoples goods so strong?

    Should you shoot them? That is too severe a punishment. If they are law abiding, just make them RETURN these belongings they have already stolen off dead bodies. Pay them if you have to. It is very shameful but two wrongs do not make a right.

    Who's going to shoot them? I share your disgust but they have control of the area and last I checked weren't letting the investigators in to get the bodies or wreckage. Scumbags.

    They are a very poor people, what did you expect ?

    They looted in New Orleans during KATRINA.

    Even some police looted.

    I was there working for FEMA, I seen it.

    Yes they should be, but they are the ones with the guns.

    curious situation

    like you I was and continue to be offended by looting of the belongings of those killed BUT also that they are disturbing the scene before investigation

    BUT

    I find myself thinking

    if I was in poverty, in the middle of a war zone

    would I take items like cash and items I could sell

    I think if Im honest, in eastern Ukraine at this time .. yes, yes I would

    I do believe that circumstances can make a difference to what is acceptable activity
