Saw one house with the words "looters will be shot". Only in the US could you get away with that one if he did shoot anyone.
Over here you would be the criminal, not the ar**hole doing the looting and then if he survived he would get legal aid to sue you for damages, only in the UK

Looter would be shot during curfew as well... 
My guess is the socialists in the UK would have the rightful owners evicted for abandoning their house - and allow squatters to set up camp...

You might be joking but yes there is something in the UK called 'squatters rights' - even if you, the homeowner, has nowhere to live you can't just kick people who are already living in your property out on the streets. It's fucking madness.

It's the same way here in Canada: protect the guilty and screw the innocent. Such bullshit.

At least there are laws to help prevent and punish this behaviour.

Kal-EL905 I would love to see some custom pics of your rides, if you don't mind.
Seeing how many people had left their homes I was expecting looters.
