Enough With the Looting Threads!
You want to make fun of and demonize poor people, watch COPS! That way you can confirm your negative image of humanity on a daily basis without visiting Freeper Land.

Come On Mods,
Peace

1. The mods actually took an offensive one down.
It was only about 10 minutes ago, too. They're on it.

3. THANK YOU
Thank you. Thank you.

Enough already. People are dead. People are dying. Babies need formula. The streets are covered in some sort of toxic goo. Just let the judging stop.

5. THANK YOU.
My goodness.. with all of these damn threads, you'd think that DUers are more concerned about ATMs, sneakers, and jewelry than with human lives.

I'm knocking them down with 'hide thread' as quick as I can, but they keep on comin' back like a bad fruit fly infestation. Mods.. can we condense these annoying ******s?

7. I haven't seen any demonizing or fun making, so the mods must
be up on it indeed. I have seen people say that looting is not nice--the looting of groceries, diapers and whatnot to survive is entirely understandable and forgiveable, but the looting of jewelry and electronics is not.

Also, I saw a family on the TV whose house (a trailer, housing a family of 13) was crushed by a large tree, and some assholes went in and swiped their food, their TV, and their computer. I can't feel any sympathy for looters of that stripe, at all--they are thieves, plain and simple, and should be horsewhipped.

9. Thank you for trying to help calm the board down.
However, these threads are just as unproductive as the threads that you are complaining about. Please, if you have a concern about the tone or tenor of the threads on Democratic Underground, hit the alert button, or contact an administrator.
