Looters Raid Nursing Home - Steal Food
WKRG-TV/DT Mobile (WMP) ^ | 31 August

Posted on 08/31/2005 7:22:25 PM PDT by 11th_VA

I just saw the news report on the Video at the above link. Staff at the Nursing home said they were coping and had enough food to hold out til rescued. Now they have no more food.. Unbelievable...

Its amazing when law and order breaks down, how quickly the fallen nature of man rears its ugly head. Might be time to send Snake Pliskin in.

I saw two cops on TV looting. Other then that......?

Reports about cops looting SUV's is just a bunch of crap. First SUV is exactly what I want law enforcement in, not squad cars, which are underwater along with shot guns, riot gear, jail cells, etc. etc. Also I think almost any cop would know each vehicle as a VIN number and each dealer has that VIN number logged also as well as who they got the vehicle from. What would they do with it after the crisis is over?

Don't get me wrong, I am sure there are some cops looting stuff but the majority of them are just trying to do an impossible job.

Shoot on sight should have been in effect since the storm broke.

Note to all those Anarchist out there. Why haven't you brought your smelly asses down to the Big Easy yet? Its everything you say ya wanted right!

Thought so ya black hooded poser punks. All talk and window smashing as long as ya can get back to the dorm and your bong at the end of the day.

Cowards!

".......actually wanted to say for the purpose of theft..."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You are absolutely right. CNN had video from WDSU of looting while it was still raining and the wind was still blowing.

I said MANY not ALL -- you even quoted that and then in a liberal fashion, ignored what I said and re-interpreted the statement.

The left in this country is winning the war through the "Dumbing Down of America"

What the hell is it with the NOPD???? Why hasn't someone issued a "Shoot on Sight" order??????

Easy for us to say today BUT..., in today's litigious society, any cop following such orders would quickly be the target of a lawsuit/prosecution for using "unreasonable force" and violating the perps' "civil rights"!

I am old enough to remember when the National Guard entered disaster situations CARRYING LIVE AMMUNITION and the order to SHOOT LOOTERS ON SIGHT meant what it said (remember what that cost them at Kent State???)!

Now, only if you are lucky enough to live in a state which guarantees your personal right to protect yourself and your family with deadly force, do you have any real rights! Police/National Guardsman are NOT protected in a similar manner and probably will never be again until REAL TOTAL ANARCHY is present!

Where are all the good old boys and bubbas who are armed to the teeth? I guess they either bugged out or have their own problems to contend with at home, but I sure wish some citizens' posses would start forming up to guard places like this and the hospitals until the police and the National Guard get sorted out. They don't have to shoot anybody (unless someone shoots at them), but just stand guard against the jackals.

"Now we'll have to equip our department heads with guns and teach them how to shoot."

That's a good woman there.

According to Martha Stout, Ph D., 1 person in 25 is sociopathic. (Martha Stout: The Sociopath Next Door--a well written and informative book.)

SHOOT THEM!!!

You can't. The place is run by Democrats. Remember, there is honor among thieves.

Too bad that they didn't understand the benefits of being armed in a situation such as this. I was thinking the exact same thing last night. Looting abandoned stores wouldn't be stopped, but it certainly would be at hospitals and other facilities which are not abandoned.

I think that it has been declared, but the NOPD are having a tough time enforcing it while looting.

You bet it is. In other circumstances, I'd say use FLAMETHROWERS on 'em, except we have to conserve fuel now.

Rotten scum deserve everything that is coming to them from the Navy Seals and National Guard.

Or those rifle toting Korean store owners from South Central LA?

They say the are concentrating on saving the living, but how much time does it take to pull a tigger and shoot these scum?

Shoot 'em, then go save the living.

I saw video of two fat police women shoplifting.

I'm sure if this happened on Boston, we'd have our share of white-trash liberals doing the same thing.

And our cops would let it happen up here too.

I'll try this again, this time on the right thread (how embarrassing) "I can't say what I think cause I'd get banned." On the other hand, although I've never felt comfortable around guns, never having been raised around them, I'm very seriously considering the need to get one. This will probably open a whole can of worms, but what would be the best for defending oneself as a homeowner?

**Navy Seals and National Guard.**

They will stop them and have them drop the merchandise!

I saw some pictures of that happening (finally) in New Orleans tonight!
