I can't wait for the Debit Card Shootings... |

Edited on Wed Sep-07-05 12:38 PM by Bush_Sucks
Can you feel it?
Edit (This is what I mean):
I'm saying in general, you have thousands of people in an area and everyone has cards with 2000 dollars on them. Something can go wrong in a situation like that, that's all I'm saying.

Perhaps it's not as insidious a statement as people are suggesting. |
|
Debit cards are pre-paid funds. Retailers don't tend to verify debit cards as carefully as they do credit cards, thus it's much easier to use a stolen debit card than a stolen credit card.
This makes the posessors of such cards a prime target for criminals.
Perhaps this is the point the OP is trying to make?

If you had a bunch of people, and each of them have 2000 dollars on them, don't you think some criminal activity might occur?

Are you talking about the people who are going to be receiving the debt cards or some brainless thug taking it from them as a result of receiving the card?

WHY do you ASSUME that these people are a criminal element? These people LOST everything and there was a time period that some may have had to take things to survive, but the system broke down, not the person. Why would THEIR debit cards be at any more or any less risk than anyone else's debit or credit card? Your prejudices are shining through here.

what do you mean my that remark? Are you insinuating that because many of the recipients are black they will likely attack each other to steal the cards? If that is what you believe, that's just plain racist.

17. Thanks for finally clearing that up.... and I agree |
|
After all this is why money is carried in armed cars and guarded by armed people with Bullet proof vests.

18. Something has already "gone wrong" |

The response to these victims was criminal in and of itself.

20. 1000s of people with $2,000 debit cards won't break the bank |
|
$2,000 X 1,000 = $2,000,000.00 (hardly notice)
$2,000 X 10,000 = $20,000,000.00 (slick tick on the bank meters)
$2,000 X 50,000 = $100,000,000.00 (ok, that's got their attention)

As worded the original post seems inflammatory.
Thanks for your consideration.
