You talkin’ ‘bout yourself again?
Huh?
The fact is there was looting, and other reports have over 150 arrests just in Houston for looting, and those were just the ones that happened to get caught.
If you can't handle the truth, fine, just don't take it out on me. It make ya look really bad.

No one suggested that. Of course you know this.
This is what the title of the article states:
Reflections on Ike: where’s the shooting and looting?
I posted an article that clearly proves that there was looting, and you attacked me without cause.
If they arrested 150 for looting, you can bet there were at least several hundred more that were not caught.
Again, if you can't handle the truth fine, just don't go after me for posting the truth. I even provided links for you.
