Or maybe just "certain" looters will be shot.

If they don't go in with a heavy hand the mayhem won't stop.

I wish some of the northern states would offer to help with taking in some of the refugees. Maybe they have and I just have not heard about it.

Reports of beatings, rapes, and widespread looting are something of a disincentive, I'm afraid. That despite the fact that the vast majority of refugees aren't part of those crimes.

Your compassion is hearting.

I'm realistic. I have seen what New Orleans is going through. All those thugs will end up somewhere.

I would just like to say something. Get it off my chest for all those reading and lurking on these threads.

Your cutesy comments, jokes about people deserving it, and the other assorted bull crap are pissing me the hell off. We are suffering badly here in the Gulf. There are millions of people just days away from death if supplies don't get to them. There are dozens of small towns with nary a single person coming to rescue them out at this point.

Yes, the looters in NO are evil and they need to be thrown away forever if not shot. That and $8.00 will buy me diapers for my child. I am sick of the racism, the classism, the anti south attitudes I have been seeing. I am a transplanted Southerner now, but there are amazing people here and serving in our military.

The VAST majority of black people down here are good hard working people. When I say hard working, I mean, you stupid little pissants could not do half the back breaking work these folks accomplish in a day, if you had a week.

I love this country, I love this state, and I wish some people who claim to be Christian, would start acting that way. Children are dying, our elderly are succumbing in the heat. Your stupid pet issues, don't mean crap to me, or anybody else here. Do you get that? Lead, follow, or get the hell out of the way. (Will not rant again, this has been building up since my power got back on, and I have seen isolated cases of stupidity and ignorance here)

And they will turn like savages on any one else they see with some water or a bit of french fries, or looks better off than they are. If I did not have a weapon in that situation, I don't know what I'd do. I'd have to fashion something. Some caustic agent to throw in their eyes to protect me and my family. I for sure would take off any watches or chains and would eat what little I had in privacy. Dang! this is Lord of the Flies 2005, only after five days.

Wait til he starts to stink up the place literally. Jesse wanted to be Sharpton there.

No, they were created over a hundred years ago. WE haven't done anything to change that fact and the democratic party has revelled in keeping it that way.

Why do you think the Rev. Jackson is going there? Two reasons -- one to get his face on camera, but two to make certain these people don't figure out that those trying to help them really ARE good people and DO want to help them... sorry if I sound cynical, but that's a sad fact.

The City of NO set up an evacuation center and failed to staff it.

Local news in N. Texas showed TANG rebuilding levee. Heavy lift helo's dropping sandbags in CNN's "Baghdad on the crescent". Local newsguy standing next to the levee, trucks hauling asphalt, locals helping each other. You would never believe it without seeing it.

Have you actually seen him there on TV? Jesse Jackson, I mean.

Also, I just saw an interview on Hairball and Chrissy asked some news lady if she felt safe in NO....she said, sort of, but we have been told not to eat or drink in front of people out here...because we don't want them to know we have food and drink...

uh-oh!

"Was really mad about no one being arrested, and yet seeing the gov on TV all the time. Wants something done now! Just wondering if anyone else heard the entire call."

He's mad at the laissez faire attitude of the plice and National Guard. NG leader said they wouldn't shoot looters. So, looting procedes.
