I just heard on the Laura Flanders show that even though the media is not reporting it there are group of armed white men taking part in the looting in New Orleans.

Looters and criminals come in all shapes, sizes and shades.

2. Now I'm getting all confused |
|
First they told us those Arab guys living in caves were thugs. Then it was all the black people in New Orleans. Now you're telling me its armed white men.
Will the will enemy please stop shifting so we can pin something on you instead of on our corrupt president?!

3. They never mention the poor whites |
|
Who were probably also left behind too-and with the racial admixture down there, there were probably a few Creoles and Cajuns left behind too in their houses as well.

4. my brother in law was shot at by a family |
|
While he was trying to rescue the family.
Luckily he was able to talk to them and they explained that a a group of white boys was traveling around in a pickup truck, using anybody they found "looting" for sniper practice and not rescuing ANYBODY. The family fear my brother-in-law was one of "them."
After that the guy from the Family rode shotgun to help my brother-in-law rescue more people. They didn't run into the White Gang again. If there is a God those White boys are gator bait.
This was in Mobile on wednesday.

5. Nobody mentions the poor that aren't black. |
|
"Gang" is inferred to be only black.
"Refugee" is inferred to be only black.
Everybody in the Superdome was black. Photos notwithstanding.
They never mention the poor whites, Latinos, Asians. The latter aren't numerous, according to the census, but they no doubt exist.

They would much prefer that we "guess" that the shooters are all scary big black men.:scared:

7. I never heard that they were black. |
|
I think even people here were assuming that, so that's why they're surprised to find white people are roaming around.

They're just playing Scavenger Hunt with Assault Rifles.
This BTW, is being typed by a white guy.

9. The pictures I've seen of NO this week |
|
show a lot of blacks and whites helping each other. This kind of situation can bring out either the best or the worst in people.
