1. You mean she didn't just FIND those things?

Oh that's right she isn't the right 'type' of person who just finds things.

:sarcasm:

4. Yes, remember the equation....

Blacks/Minorities + Hurricane + No Food = Looter

Whites + Hurricane + No Food = Foraging to survive

Do I need to bring out the Right Wing Handbook?

5. No thanks ;)

I have Cable TV, I know it all to well.

2. This picture is more BS than most

Look at the Man/boy behind her. THERE IS NOTHING in their hands. If this store was being looted, EVERYBODY would be walking out with something.

11. The French Quarter is dry

It's above sea level.

I think it's also basically an island now.

7. People of NOLA: "TAKE BREAD!"

Republicans love the profit and hate the people. It is THAT simple.

9. Paper or Plastic?? hmmmm......

there's got to be more to this picture than the caption is letting on about.

DRY ROAD???

Do "looters" usually bag their own "loot"???


this just doesn't look like complete lawlessness to me.....

the current administration, on the other hand.....

10. One POSSIBLE looter. MAYBE.

And not a single 54" color TV in sight. I checked.

Check the look of animalistic glee in her thuggish face. Not.

It looks like this evil reprobate will have to answer to the State of Louisiana and God Almighty for the heinous theft of two umbrellas, some green blanekts or tarps, what looks to be generic PediaLyte in the red wrapping, and some other soft goods (clothing?) in those bags.

Set up the Whipping Post and oil the Cat-o'-Nine!

12. looters...yeah right

I cannot believ that people actually think that people foraging for food and supplies is LOOTING!
It's what we've done to survive and why we've been successful thusfar, leave it to our big beauracracy to call survival a crime!!!

[Dogmudgeon]

13. Unfortunately ...

... the people in charge of this increasingly punch-drunk country have their heads stuck so far up their collective ass they they are only able to catch a glimpse of the real world when they open their mouth to spew their stupidity.

Did that make sense? Nothing else does.
