What is snotty about the truth?
Were you sleeping through the Katrina/New Orleans debacle? (The majority of the deaths and cluster f*ck was due - not to the storm or floods - but MAN.
were you on another planet when Haiti was hit?
My brother, this morning, when bringing me over another load of wood, remarked: “Have you noticed something different in Japan than if it had happened here? NO LOOTING.”
The stark difference is as plain as the nose on your face - trying to deny that fact is ignorant.
And these people are trapped in the middle of one long nightmare that get's worse daily. I shudder to think if it were here. I'd be heading for the hills to find a cave, not to get away from the disaster, but the citizens.
Again - show me where he mentions Katrina or Haiti?? He said “Chicago and New York.”
As far as Japan goes, I have a hunch they’d take a day or two of “looting” in excahnge for getting their nukes under control.
As others have said, there was none of that in New York after 9/11. I was there and it was surreal how little crime occurred in the weeks after.
Homogeneous demographics tend to produce more docile populations. Sense of commonality of purpose and all that.
