What Pictures of the Looters really may say (BARF)

Can't really argue with you, I am not there, just thinking out loud.

One thing is for sure, things are getting way out of hand, rescuers being shot at, gun battles at night, I's sure rapes and murders are occuring too. I hope society is paying attention and resolves to deal firmly with the criminal class living in just about every big American city. Maybe we might even rethink the wisdom of allowing the nation to be overrun with third world types.

Our enemy, the terrorists, are paying attention. They just figured out how to bring us to our knees. Set off a dirty bomb in the middle of Detroit, Atlanta, DC, LA, etc. and let the criminals do the rest.

It's not a race thing, it's an attitude thing. Those people should be counting their lucky stars that they are alive. They should be offering to help others, but they are only thinking about themselves. I don't begrudge them for taking items that probably would spoil, you do what you have to do.

After 9/11, the people of New York and the nation came together. We don't see that in New Orleans, it has become "dog eat dog." It's not about race, it's about values, beliefs and attitudes.

The median income for whites is a low $31,971; for blacks it's a subterranean $11,332.

The Governor is a Democrat. The State Senate is controlled by the Democrats. The State House is controlled by the Democrats. The Mayor of New Orleans is a Democrat.

How could this happen????????? /sarcasm

Wow. You hit the nail on the head with that one. It's such a simple yet elegant solution.

I think it's time to end the dole, welfare as we know it, Section 8 housing, etc. why keep an underclass alive so that when a disaster happens, you get looters who are not only part of the problem, but make the problem 10 times worse. I'm sick of seeing looting on the news. Americans should not be doing this. And I may be insensitive saying this but I bet it's the gangs who are supported through various types of government welfare that are behind this looting. End welfare, let irresponsible people die.

I think it's time to end the dole, welfare as we know it, Section 8 housing,

Exactly.

[1Old Pro]

My question is, are blacks really the only looters?

Well, based on the demographics and based on the economic strata and based on previous "ratios" of ethnicity to crime, I'd say that Blacks are NOT the only looters, just the majority. Probably reflects crime rates prior to the hurricanne.

Charles Darwin, survival of the fittest. Playing out before our eyes. Don't interfere with the natural course of things.

But we're Americans. Now what.

"Maybe we ought to get your name and address ~ you are a person to be watched in the future."

Maybe "we" ought to, and while your at it "we" can eat my shorts, little man.

Did you have any trouble understanding that?

[Politicalmom]

Good grief. It was posted several times yesterday. Thank God they have a real woman in charge, and she is issuing guns to her staff.

Your defense of these people stealing consumer goods (not subsistance supplies) is disgusting.

[Politicalmom]

So YOUR grandson is more important than MY baby? You have no right to someone else's food.

As someone mentioned above, if you ASKED, someone might share their food. If you try to steal the food from my baby's mouth,
you would be very sorry.

Your attitude is disgusting.

[brazzaville]

"Your attitude is disgusting."

I don't like it either. There are way too many times in life that I have had to make choices that I greatly regret now.

Hopefully by staying here on the property I will avoid having to make those choices again, but, yes, my grandson is more important to me than just about anyone else.

Good luck to all our children.

LOL!

[muawiyah]

Looks like I was arguing on behalf of Christian compassion and you were looking for an excuse to get nasty.

I said none of what you said I did and you know it.

[muawiyah]

No, there was no threat there at all. But the guy neer expressed any intention to ever be charitible ~ in fact, he advocated criminal punishment for folks taking food to feed their families in a disaster.

That means I can not trust such a person under those conditions.

[muawiyah]

Could be. I also saw some of the fellows putting those outfits on.

Just reading through today's Washington Times (which is NOT the Liberal rag around here) there were maybe 20 pictures of New Orleans refugees ~ we counted a dozen without shoes.

[muawiyah]

Obviously there's no charity coming from your house ~ ever. I gave you a chance to turn this away with a soft word, but you chose not to. Instead, you asserted ownership as being a superior right to someone else's survival.

[muawiyah]

Interesting choice, but you are assuming there was something else, e.g. running tap water, pure and cold maybe?!
