Yeah, I know. Somehow, this must be Bush's fault.

But it's understandable. They've been oppressed all their lives, and they needed to eat.

I hope that there is still some fingerprint evidence. If those prints are in the system, then I hope the culprits are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Then again, news like this probably dissuades the real culprits from coming back to New Orleans.

New Orleans District Attorney Eddie Jordan said he intends to prosecute as many looters as he can. However, few arrests have been made thus far because authorities have been primarily concerned with reaching stranded residents, Jordan said. Like really right.
The guardsmen recently thought they had caught a looter coming back into town to load his stash onto a moving truck. Inside his home, the soldiers found automobile parts stacked 8 feet high, a new off-road motorcycle and various electronics, including a video game system with a pawn shop ticket still attached. But the man told the soldiers he had no idea where the goods came from and that someone else must have broken into his home and stashed them there after he evacuated. Skeptical, the soldiers detained him until police arrived, filled out a report and seized the goods. They took the man's name and address, but did not arrest him.
This is equally rich. What? You gonna believe what I tell you or your own lyin' eyes?

Sounds like someone had an underwater blow torch opening ATM's. Those things probably aren't very easy to get into...

New Orleans District Attorney Eddie Jordan said he intends to prosecute as many looters as he can."You could be technical and say, 'I'm going to book him with possession of stolen property,' but then you have to find out who the owner is, find out whether that person had permission take that property," New Orleans Police Capt. Marlon Defillo said.
Jordan intends to prosecute looters...but he can't. It's just too dang much trouble. But he really, really meant well, so remember that when he comes up for reelection, ya hear?

And anyone who says otherwise is just a big, mean ol' racist stinkypants! THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA SAID SO, GOLDANG IT -- !!!!

Huh?
You need no finger print evidence when stolen good are found inside your own home.
