People told us the police went in there so they started shooting at the police. So the police left. They (looters) just set the place on fire. We saw it burning and we saw the fire department not even going near the place because the looters were going nuts.

Earlier today, a man came up to me. I think he wanted the canoe. He saw I was armed and gave up.Second Amendment. Learn it, live it, love it.

"We had to make two trips in the canoe to get the cats and the dogs and the people we were with to get to higher ground. We saw fires and looting going on. If we didn't keep on moving and stay away from some people I feel like we would have been in trouble.
Earlier today, a man came up to me. I think he wanted the canoe. He saw I was armed and gave up. "
hmm look at that A bunch of folks working together to get out of NO. And a case of being armed deterring crime all rolled into one. This guy is fixen to take the best shower in his life.

Boston Herald is mostly OK - it's only the Globe that's the commie rag owned by the NY slimes. I'm from there but haven't lived there in decades - but that's my understanding.
