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.

I see where you are coming from.

I believe there was some looting in NY (2003) when the east coast had the blackout, but you are right, nothing like that happened on 9/11 or even when a hurricane hit Long Island in 1985.

I don’t know Chicago that well, so I’ll take your word on how they might react. I do wonder if this happened in LA, what we might see. I honestly think the shock of what happened might keep such looting to a minimum.

The author didn’t mention New Orleans but in essence you did with your labeling of the article as ‘anti-USA Barf alert’. Close your mind if you chose to but he is correct. I was thinking about a similar subject last night when I was on the subway in Boston. The drivers, security, and cashiers were all of a certain race and I’d bet heavily that they got their jobs largely because of it. They are making grossly disproportionate amounts of money compared to their skill level because they have kicked and screamed and got liberal fools to buy into the scam in return for votes. Yet Asians make up a large percentage of the population but I didn’t see one working on the T. I conclude that the reason for this is that they want to earn what they get and consequently respect it more. Hence they culturally respect others belongings also and therefore no looting in Japan...and congratulations to St. John’s Prep high school basketball!
