Looting in New Orleans..a new low for americans...and why we are minimizing the effec

Quote from AAAintheBeltway:

Of course Bush and Cheney are responsible. We didn't have cat 5 hurricanes when Clinton was in office did we? Obviously it's because Bush is a neanderthal who doesn't care about global warming. Evolution either probably. Why should he care? I only saw black faces suffering in NO in the horrible heat and humidity as they strained under the heavy loads they so valiantly were liberating from Best Buy. Some things never change, and the awful plight of the black man is one of them. Tote that bale, carry that plasma screen, what's the difference?

And who will profit from the cleanup and the oil well repair work that we are told is necessary? Good old Halliburton, that's who. What a coincidence. I think not. First Iraq, now this.

If only our planet had paid attention to Cathy Sheehan.

Just another way to keep the black man down.

Just a distration to keep people focused on something other than Iraq.

I knew I should have voted for Kerry.

Quote from mahram:

Its not a black or white thing, its about people looting their own neighborhoods. Making a situation that is already bad even worse because of their actions. Acting like thugs stealing and pillaging. Its wrong. And cut your crap. If it was taking food for your family or medicine anybody in that situation would understand. But when it comes to looting dvd players for god sakes or tvs, yeah those people should be shot. They are wasting valuable man power to police them instead of looking for survivors. I dont care if they are black/white/asian/ or green if they are looting and firing off weopens and acting like armed thug gangs they should be shot on site. No questions.

Hey, someone please put up a pic of a bunch of white looters. I have not seen any from the 'obviously racist' media. Especially those conservatives at Fox news. Or maybe there were not many whites left because they all got the hell out BEFORE the storm. It's funny, no one can say A = A. The WHOLE world must be RACIST for the showing the marauding africans.

The best part of this will be the stories coming out afterwards. Especially, from the poor stranded tourists at the SuperDome down there. This is going to be classic. It will be impossible for the high priests of the state sanctioned religion of Political Correctness to silence them.

You just don't get it do you?

The blacks are just republican operatives to make the black community look bad. Halliburton has a security unit that will be sent to restore order.

It's just another Bush ploy for Halliburton to profit from.

Eventually michael moore will confirm this.

Exactly. You are one of the few who can see through the Karl Rove smoke screen. Tell me this. Was it just a coincidence that this freak "hurricane" hits just as Bush's polling numbers are hitting rock bottom and Cathy Sheehan is on the verge of getting her own cable show? And the American people have begun to appreciate the similarities between the Iraqi insurgents and our own Founding Fathers (and Womyn)?

I fervently hope Al Franken will not let the American people take this sitting down. Clearly, we need to nationalize the oil companies to prevent profiteering. The greedy CEO's who have tried to "loot" the American people through the guise of this tragedy should be incarcerated and the companies run for the public's benefit by a Board of Directors that looks like america.

Remember, it's for the children.

Quote from buzzy2:

In those countries if you steal a crumble of bread, watch the whole village coming after your asss.... unless you are with the army or the government they are allowed to steal.

Your thesis is flawed. The whole village does not have anything because there leaders have stolen everything. The village people cannot eat the dictator's fleet of Mercedes. Of course, sometimes they produce food and all is well. But have no fear a Mugabe is right around the corner to ethnically cleanse the productive members of society and plunge them back into the stone age.

Exactly. They come to the US with the pre-conception that all rich people here have things because they took it from someone else like in their own countries. So looting things from someone else is not bad... the rich do it too...

The left makes things worse by reinforcing this third-world thinking with their class struggle mumbo-jumbo.

Well, well, well. What do you expect when we have the standards for ethical behavior being set by corrupt politicians and corporate executives. Huh? Fine mess.

Quote from mahram:

I dont know why the media is minmizing the effects of katrina. But it seems the damage is more widespread and more damaged to the oil and gas infrustature then reported. I think by thursday we will see the damage estimates starting to rise. On another note this must be the lowest that amercia has ever come. People looting new orleans and the outlying suburbs. Those people should be ashamed of themselves. These arent desperate people looking for food, but people looting clothing and electronic stores. These are organize gangs going to homes and shops. An absolute low in american history.

Quote from SammySOESa:

i'd hold the door open for 'em, and pad my insurance claim.. which is what all these business owner are gonna do.

exactly - looting or not, the insurance companies are picking up the tab anyway, and after the inevitable federal bailout, that means you're paying for it.

and it seems some people in new orleans have that one figured out.

Quote from dddooo:

First of all the government should declare the war on hurricantes (WOH), the next step should be tax cuts for the rich and a few multi-billion dollar contracts for Halliburton. Every american must decide whether he is with the government or with hurricanes which hate our freedoms.

Given that Katrina came from Cuba we must immediately invade Venezuela as we want to fight hurricanes over there so we don't have to fight them over here.
