Heineken guy? He don’t go for that bourgoise beer!

Giuliani, if in charge, would probably issue a shoot to kill order for anyone ransacking/looting/arson-ing a retail outlet, such as a large department store, etc.
The Chocolate City was “special” as regards that problem. I mean, where else are you gonna see POLICE OFFICERS pushing shopping carts full of loot through a Wal-Mart?
In spite of the anecdotes I just don’t see looting of those proportions happening in NY/NJ. I could be wrong.
If it *does* happen, I don’t expect we’ll see many pictures of looting mobs of Holder’s People on our teevees, not with the election only a week away.
You sure got THAT right.
There is no reason to imagine looting ~ there’s water all over the place, roads are closed, subways are out of business, power is out, .......
Lots of Civil Rights violation lawsuits on the way IF law and order is restored...
...states counties cities towns and even empty lots better lawyer up now.

No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man

Well it was New Orleans!

What’s that old saying? “A conservative is a liberal that has been mugged.”
After Sandy and the looters and the Mayor’s abuses we might just have us a whole passel o’ new conservatives! Living right in downtown Manhattan! With passion and MONEY! :-)
Unlike the poor people in New Orleans this community’s civilians are heavily armed and can deal with the police should they start stealing our cadillacs.
