A clarification on the earlier post

When I mentioned in an earlier post that I disapprove, at least on an intellectual level, of the idea of police machine-gunning down the rioters, I meant the kind of rioters who burn trashcans. The kind of rioters who would pour gasoline over a person and set them on fire for not getting out of a bus fast enough, can, as far as I am concerned, be machine-gunned freely. I mean, it would be a lot more civilized to bring them to trial and give them life sentence, but machine gun works too.
