For what it's worth the Bible makes a distinction between those who steal bread to feed themselves and those who steal for other reasons.

I'm sure that some of the theft is survival related.

No matter what color one paints a turd, its still a turd. This writer should get over it and quit being an apologist.

yea - you'd think that until you come across a total gun grabber...

"If walmart didn't have all those guns in the firstplace, the looter's wouldn't have stolen them!"

You know it's time to just walk away when someone responds like that.

Should black cops in the process of looting,like on FNC last night with shopping baskets be shown?

The politics of victimhood, always-blame-others syndrome to deflect your own shortcomings, whine and second-guess.

"I, my wife, and my 48 cousins are all minorities. This is typical "defensive black RAT Jesse Jackass cover-your-ass" stupidity."



And where is Jackson BTW? Oh, he's more interested in soothing evil Chavez' nerves about a Pat Robertson comment.



(P.S.: It's scary, that pix you posted looks like a co-worker I have - only she's white! Otherwise they look the same!! AAAAaaaaaa!)

No, under these conditions, in Louisiana, you would not be a thief!

It's their law ~ respect it!

We journalists have a collective knee-jerk reaction in certain situations, disasters especially. We look for people, things, quotes that will convey what we want or need to convey.

But more importantly, her knee-jerk reaction isn't to display facts, it's to play the race card.

Few people think of this, but just about everybody has an emergency supply of water already in place. Usually there is 30 gallons or so in the water heater, which can be easily accessed through its drain valve.

"For television reporters, shots of blacks looting are quick, easy and downright expected"

Quick and easy... because there is a lot of it going on decade after decade?

Expected? not a very PC attitude for someone trying to rationalize this action... in fact, it sounds RACIST to me.

As one Freeper said earlier if they wanted pictures of white looters they should have gone to the gun stores.

This is about the dumbest waste of effort by the media that I have seen so far. They DID show some whites looting. Should the cameramen hold off shooting until they could search out more whites?

"People taking food, water, ice ~ life sustaining necessities ~ are not, under Louisiana law "looters"."


They are if they are taking it from another person, and I would suppose that penalty would be death. ( assuming, of course, that the victim was armed and able bodied )





Hey ... you ... get offa my cloud

It's looting in English. I don't care what LA thinks, liberal domain that it is, OTOT.

I've been on plenty of threads.

And I stand by my statement: there is no need to steal TONS of food at once.

I can't believe I live on the same planet with people who do not understand the horror of a natural disaster of this scale and scope.

Louisiana law does not allow you to commit holdups or steal. On the other hand, it does allow you to take the water, food and other materials (e.g. shoes and clothes) that you need to survive.

In short, Louisiana law does not require that you die on behalf of someone else's ownership claims.

I assure you, if it ever comes to a choice between my family's life and your food, you lose!
