The animals I spoke of are the people who were looting in the beginning, the ANIMALS who were raping and attacking people. THOSE are the people who I wouldn't mind if they started killing themselves off.
I would NEVER EVER EVER say anything liek that about people with mental disabilities because I have a few good friends and family members dealing with those disease. I am really offended that you would assume that, especially since my original post said NOTHING even close to that.
And actually you're NOT 110% disagreeing with me because I never said that it was fair that the victims have to unfortunately go through all the hardships coming ahead. So thank you for assuming once again. I just don't think it's fair that these cities have to deal with the extra crime. And notice that I used the words hoodlum and well-deserving. Now which people do you think I care more about?
And just an FYI.... I have no sympathy for drug addicts. They know what they are getting their selves into when they start and unfortunately some of these people are uneducated and don't know the dangers of drugs. But I really have no sympathy for those who make drug use an everyday part of their life. 3 of my exes were coke users, and I had absolutely no sympathy for the BS they had to go through while getting high.

This isn't a matter of assumptions; this is a matter of common sense. My point was that there is no way or time to sort through and distinguish the 'hoodlums' from those who are acting like hoodlums for one reason or another. The examples that I listed above are of people who w/o knowing their back-story may appear to be common criminals. If we followed the thinking from your earlier post, then we would be sacrificing the safety, health, and lives of all of those people too b/c it is simply impossible to review everyone's crime on a case by case basis. Certainly you might be able to pin point a rapist, but can you distinguish btwn a paranoid schizophrenic who flips out and strangles a crying baby from a completely sane man who murders a baby to get back at its father/mother? On the surface, these might look nearly the same though I doubt that the same punishment would be applicable. That is the issue that I took w/your solution.
Additionally, I made no assumptions about you thinking that the situation that the victims are in is fair. I responded to your comment that it isn't fair for the people in the Texas towns to have to suffer due to the inflow of criminal victims as well. My point is, no it isn't fair to them, but so what? None of this week has been fair, but we all have to adjust and do the best we can to improve the situation. As I stated, it is nearly impossible to weed each criminal out, so each city that is offering support will have to find ways to cope and maintain order whether it is fair or not.
