Lucky they weren't shot for stealing wood so they could fucking survive?
You are comparing a force of nature to us going there and fucking there country over, once again, bravo on the halfwit analogy. In the US, we don't loot for survival, we loot because we are greedy and are taking advantage of the situation.
Although I covered this in my previous post, allow me to reiterate. They used their "taxi" to loot wood. If that car truly was his livelihood, he should've used it as a taxi and earned the money to buy the wood. Also, the analogy I used was hardly "halfwit". You, ironically, just neglected to comprehend its significance. So, once again, I will spoon-feed you that as well. Those particular Iraqis took advantage of a national crisis to steal wood, just like looters taking advantage of a hurricane. As we all know, Iraq in its current state is plagued by civil disorder. What you saw was an appropriate level of punishment in dealing with this (in the U.S. they would be given life in prison). Additionally, your claim "we don't loot for survival, we loot because we are greedy and are taking advantage of the situation" is also false. Hurricane Katrina is a shining example of that. No matter where you are, you will have looters acting out of greed and those acting to survive. However, the motive does not make it any less of a crime.
You should make friends with this guy:

I love how you assume to know exactly what these people were doing with there car outside of the few seconds they were on camera. How do you know he wasn't driving people around all day, how do you know there is nobody to drive around because of how messed up things are?
Suppose i take your side for a second and say that punishing them was appropriate. Ok so you want to punish them by taking away there car.
Why not take the fucking car and give it to someone else? I'm sure there are thousands of people that are more 'worthy' of using that car over the evil wood looting theives. Why destroy a perfectly useable car?
They don't do that of course, they play it up for the camera like the fucking morons they are. They shoot the car for fun and run it over,
for fun.
Did they return the wood to the owner? No, they ran it over as well. They don't care, they just wanted to run a car over with a tank, like 10 year olds.
You are blind dude, try looking up logic for yourself.
