Reply #103: Instead of talking about genocide [View All]

[barb162]

how about dealing with what you saw on the TV screen hour after hour. I did in fact see looters. Maybe you didn't. Some were looting for food and water, but others I saw were carrying and pushing carts loaded with non food items. It became a free-for-all in many cases and there was no civil order in areas of the city according to the mayor and police. Fact. It is not racism, it is not genocide, etc., for reporters to report what they saw or for people to state what they experienced, etc. And when a felony is committed against an individual, I don't care what the hell color that person is or the color of the perpetrator. The fact is, when a woman is raped or a kid or adult is killed or injured, that's serious. Color is NOT the issue of the victim or the person committing the crime! Crime is the issue... the rights (and lives) of people were violated by other people.

How you can write about ethnic cleansing when a person of one ethnic group is assaulted by another person of the same group is way beyond me. Don't try to make this into something it isn't. How many people have to say serious crimes were being committed before you come to the conclusion that they aren't ALL lying?

If you wish to believe "all these "reports", unless thoroughly substantiated, should not be accepted as though they were established fact" that's your choice. I won't be agreeing with you one bit as it is my choice.
