Edited on Thu Sep-01-05 09:59 PM by SofaKingLiberal
Sorry about another looting thread, but I ust couldn't believe my f*king ears.
"We have ways to get them the supplies they need, looting is not the answer."

If people (most anyway) had the supplies they needed they wouldn't be looting. He's a pig.

6. most of the looters were hauling around tvs, puters, dvds, alcohol etc. |
|
the vast majority of looters are just criminal thugs. The decent people who are left are dying alone and afraid in the attics of their homes.

but a lot of people were also going into stores to get food and water. I mean, the other looting is inexcusable but after days w/o food and water, its only natural that people will go into survival mode. Also, the original post was referring to the looting of food and water, not commodities.

20. There's a story on CNN about a hotel telling guests to loot for food |
|
From a store next to their hotel. There's no food in the hotel. So, the guests did just that. What was the alternative? Starve and let the food rot? http://www.cnn.com/2005/WEATHER/09/01/katrina.trapped.tourists.ap/index.html

15. Really? All the footage I've seen has been of people carrying... |
|
... food, water and clothing. I may have seen a few frames of video with someone carrying what appeared to be beer. But I haven't yet seen anything to suggest "most" people are "hauling around TVs and computers." Just the opposite: Most people are taking what they need to live.

I have people I know working there and they say different---not only that, my law and order conservative friend working search and rescue says exactly the opposite. Criminals, addicts and thugs are out there but in the minority and show me a picture of anyone looting electronics that was over 25 after day one of this mess.
I believe him, he's on site with police and been there since Monday afternoon. Decent people are all over that city and he himself saw "thuggish looking young men" (his words) pull a plywood board of food and drinks to stranded families they obviously didn't even know. We aren't hearing nearly all of what is going on in any sense but I'll take the word of the man on the scene who is a devout Baptist conservative Republican. When he says it, I believe it. As he said: "show me any place without criminals and here there are drug addicts on day 4 of withdrawal---they'll do anything"

26. Thanks for sharing that story |
|
I believe your friend, too. Anyone who would loot for electronics or other luxury items after the first day is delusional in thinking there's anywhere to put the stuff. They're in survival mode, now. They've seen the bigger picture. Too bad this admin. hasn't - or refuses to bother.

13. Scotty has quite obviously never missed a meal or snack in his life |
|
He needs to shut his jowls. His complicity in all of this is going to come back and bite his mother in her well-fed posterior when she tries to run for governor here in TX.

19. What a fucking moron. Honestly. |

It's perfectly evident that even if SOME are, most are NOT getting food OR water.
In the Convention Center they've had 2,000 people with NONE.

24. I guess they better go arrest every NOLA and LASP officer in the city then |
|
because they've HAD to loot their own food and water to survive and do their jobs.
This whole administration can just go fuck themselves. :nuke:
