What you did was not done to discourage looters, but for the key reason of producing trophy photos.
- Michael HunterI`ve seen looting around the world and thought I knew the best looters in the world. The Iraqis excel at that.
- Alan SchlesingerYou are going into the unknown. You never know who is under the bed and who is around the corner, ... And due to the fact that we are having looting in the area ... and the looters have been using weapons against the police down here, we need to do this.
- Ann SharpsteenSome looters came up and pulled a gun on the wrong group of men,
- Archibald RutledgeWe had gunfire up and down here. We had looters over here. We drove in with a bus. We had people jumping in the windows stealing stuff. We had one gasoline truck that was commandeered by the feds when it was coming in the other day. But from our perspective, the easiest thing for us was to get everything up and rolling.
- Arvind KumarThis was the area that was the worst hit. We went out there. We ended up on the way treating a lot of policeman and military people who had been attacked by looters, ... One guy, a big burly policeman, had a bite on his hand. A female apparently dived through a window and wanted to get his gun to try to kill herself. We were seeing things like that. There were a lot of traumatized people walking around with blank stares.
