"Does 30 seconds of tape, rewound and replayed, tell the whole story?"
Let's see; extremely high crime rates and gargantuan illegitimacy rates amongst urban blacks since the "enlightened" '60s indicate that it might be.
LOL!!
But the looting shots weren't staged...they really happened. It is news.
Good point. And true.
What are you going do to with a big screen television set in the middle of NO right now? Take it with you on the rescue boat?
LOL!
Bingo and bullseye!!!!!!!!!!!
Bottom line: the camera is color blind.
If there were whites, hispanics, asians, indigenous or any other non-black looters, the camera would show them too.
This reporter seems to suggest that there is a media conspiracy to edit out any scenes of looting by any race except blacks.
fb,
My wife used to make fun of me because I would store water.
I explained to her that we have plenty of canned or preserved foods, prolly for 2 weeks, just sitting around anyway. But if there's no water in a crisis, there's no water and none coming. So I store some.
She hasn't brought it up lately.
Now it's nothing and will forever remain so.
Exactly. I can't believe these people a) didn't have a decent amount of food around that they took w/them as they had to escape (hell, some people are way up high in apt's that you know didn't get the flood waters) b) really need to gather tons of food at once as many are.
It's LOOTING - stealing, down to the nitty-gritty. Sorry, taking everything you can even if it's legit foodstuff is greedy stealing, regardless of your hardships.
Where's the sympathy for the people whose livelihoods are being further ruined by this behavior? It's insult to injury.
Lucia Herndon, stupid RAT reporter
My question is, are blacks really the only looters?
Haa!
No, the film you are watching is the negative. Get a hold of the real film and the looters are all white.
Do these images advance the story of the plight of people?
Haaa! Haaaaaaaa!
Their plight is how quick can they set up an EBAY account to pawn off their diamonds and rubies. Maybe they can do that soon with their shiny new stolen computer.
good, law-abiding citizens may do things they would never do normally.
Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Oh my God.
And, scummy, law-breaking thugs will do things they normally do every day!
On TV I saw people carrying what appeared to be groceries, water, and bags of ice.
Maybe that is because the new shiny diamond rings blinded your eye sight and you were not seeing straight!
Incredible RAT stupidity.
Before anybody flames me, I, my wife, and my 48 cousins are all minorities. This is typical "defensive black RAT Jesse Jackass cover-your-ass" stupidity. From Philadelphia, what do you expect?
I can say without hesitation, I would never steal a tv, vcr, dvd etc.
I would steal food or water and would still be a thief though.
Now THERE'S a "stereotype" that is perfectly correct.
Oh really ???
So I can go to LA and start breaking into everyones homes and as long as I only steal their water and food it isn't against the law?
I guess it's ok for those roaming bands of gun toting thugs to break into the childrens hospital and steal their food and water supplies too, right ?
Cause according to you stealing what you need is ok in LA !
Good freaking grief, I can't believe I live on the same planet with people like this!
It ain't against the law to take necessities for life under those conditions. It is not looting in Louisiana.
First of all I think this statement is entirley accurate and second of all I think it is highly probable that the remaining citizens in New orleans are more than two thirds black.
Having said that it should be noted that there is a difference between looting and living off the land. I have no problem with the latter and big problems with the former.
I decided yesterdau to stop calling them looters and refer to them as DEMOCRAT SHOPPERS. No racism, no guilt, just fact.........
FGS! They are shooting at the evac helicopters at the Super Dome now. This is war.
