I'm all for showing equal opportunity looters.

[ladyjane]

a lot of folks here convinced that there's widespread organized looting taking place

Where are you getting that idea? I haven't seen anything organized yet in New Orleans. Widespread, yes. Organized? ha

Hi midwesmidnight-

Funny stuff at http://www.negrospaceprogram.com/

Disgusting. A so-called "Man of God" using the name of Jesus to justify theft. I've truly seen it all.

[Graybeard58]

And I assure you, pro-theft advocate, that if you ever show up on my property looking to steal, you'll lose.

He had better pick his potential victims well, he'd be a loser at my house too.

The "pioneers" ate on the road. In the early days, for example when Plymouth was founded, the first thing they did was go around to loot the Indian stores of corn and other products.

See Governor Bradford's Diary.

[muawiyah]

NO had a long term plan to improve the levees. On the other hand, the storm didn't spill over the existing levees. What happened is that there were three breeches ~ failures of the levee system to hold.

Wouldn't have mattered how high they were if they were not secure.

[MajorTom56]

Dued....take a breath!

[the OlLine Rebel]

And the OJ verdict was a man-made disaster. Worthy of looting and killing, you know.

[muawiyah]

No looters are stealing ice. FEMA has sent many thousands of tons of ice to New Orleans. It is being distributed free of charge.

Proverbs 6:30

They say what they say whether we like the words or not.

[muawiyah]

If you feel that way it's pretty obvious Satan has friends in high office, eh.

There will always be thieves. On the other hand, there are also poor people with no resources. Word coming out just now is that TENS OF THOUSANDS of them died in the storm. I don't begrudge their survivors taking what they need to survive.

You shouldn't either.

[muawiyah]

No, your posts are disgusting. You would deprive my family of food they need to survive and would let them die like dogs in the street.

[muawiyah]

Hot weather, no air conditioning, the levees are holding, and then, almost without warning, the water just comes up.

Many people who thought they'd survived the worst of the storm got caught up short.

[xzins]

I agree that they don't know and they don't care.

I found it interesting yesterday when one of the news folks reported that a big message went out in the media for folks to do something....I think it was evacuate New Orleans.

Then she pointed out that with no electricity, the only ones who might possibly have gotten that message were those who had an old, battery operated radio.

No cell phones, no TVs, radios, internet, newspapers.....You are very right when you say they don't know.

They do know if they're hungry, though.

[muawiyah]

Where is your sense of charity? Have you no love for the unfortunate in our midst?

[Jonx6]

nice...

[silverleaf]

Note to the mainsteam media...more pictures of white looters, please! Preferably pretty young blonde females.

[Kleon]

There is no "white woman" in either picture. I suggest you take a real good look at the content.

I can clearly see a white woman.

[muawiyah]

No matter how many looters you end up shooting, the fact is you are taking a position that it was better to keep the nursing home people trapped in a destroyed city than to have relocated them in a timely manner.
