A disaster always brings out the worst of human nature. People begin looting and stealing!

This is what happens when societal norms rapidly break down.

The shot gun remedy should have been very evident. The first load of No. 8 bird shot across the legs with a second of buck shot in case the first was not pursuasive enough.

Why wasn’t President on the ground there during the hurricane? BECAUSE HE DOESN’T LIKE NEW YORKERS!!! HE WANTED THEM TO DIE!!!!

[waxer1]

These people (look who I am calling people) should be shot on the spot period!

My, my....I guess the TV networks have more fun standing in the water and reporting old news than telling storm victims that marauders are out stealing from the victims. Disgusting.

In Houston after Hurricane Ike, looters were told they would be shot on sight by order of Gov. Perry. There was no looting.

The Obama-butt kissing media in Florida isn’t reporting any of this...they are ONLY reporting how WONDERFUL Obama is doing.

A lttle 2nd amendment, castle doctrine, throw in some stand your ground laws and this problem goes away pretty quickly.

Their liberal congress critters have been looting for decades without having to dress up in anything but prevaricating platitudes. What's a little substance stripped off the side?

Well, when you disarm the citizens you can kind of expect this kind of BS.

Remember the Korean merchants during the R King Olympics?

After pleas for help were either ignored or denied, they took matters in their own hands.
Don’t think they really shot (killed) all that many BUT once they armed themselves etc the ‘revelers’ found other UNARMED targets.

When the animals leave the confines of their own neighborhoods is when the ‘bloodbaths’ will start, but when they get that stupid, the rest of the sheeples will be ‘dumbed’ down enough to do nothing.

Why aren’t armed citizens blowing away the looters?

Oh, it’s liberal New York. Never mind.

Hey, you stealing the lamp. Don’t forget the shade. Want a beer to drink on the drive home?

[SpaceBar]

Police arrested more than a dozen looters...

Looters should be shot dead apon discovery. Period.

Sorry, at the top of this article I posted a photo of looting in one area of New York. It turns out it was copyrighted for this publication, so FR Mod rightly pulled it. Let me describe said photo anyways (which won't break the rules):

Water is about knee deep. Sidewalk is strewn with trash and debris. An NYPD cop car is parked just inside the right side of the picture. One very overweight woman of African-American heritage, is gingerly walking away with a brand new pair of white running sneakers out of the box in her hand, looking back with perhaps a slight level of trepidation toward the police cruiser, but still making off with the shoes which are now "hers". Probably no NYC cops were on site at that time of the photo.

We are proactively dealing with the situation as I speak. I have just signed an Executive Order to ban all full size candy bars within the entire New York Metropolitan areas. My emergency staff is also looking at the dangers imposed by so-called "Fun Size" candy bars. These are the "Saturday Night Specials" of candy bars, and while smaller, they inevitably lead to hard candy.

They’re beginning the prep to get the country to ask how we can have elections when a very populous part of the country is in chaos. Rush has pointed out that the POTUS can’t do anything about it Constitutionally. The only thing he could do is.....declare martial law, which puts the Constitution on hold, if I understand correctly. The looting would add another dimension to try to justify the martial law that some of us were suggesting 3 years ago could be the game plan if Obama thought he wouldn’t win a re-election.

At that time we were also asking how the military would go if they were asked to fire upon and suppress patriotic America in a martial law situation. This is where Obama’s Benghazi screw-up may end up hurting Obama a LOT - because after Tyrone Woods’ heroism and Obama throwing out the military’s whole foundational premise that we “leave no man behind”, I would not want to be Obama asking the US military to “have his back” now, over, above, and against the Constitution.

The mechanics are all in place for the scheme to work. But I have a feeling that if Obama tries to run this machine he’s going to find a lot of cogs that are too bent out of shape to go along with it.

This isn’t “looting” as the term is normally understood - gangs of disorganized scavengers smashing into stores and emptying them. These are small crews of seasoned stickup men taking advantage of stretched police resources. Some of these crews are even dressing as police and fire.

Here in Louisiana, the governor issued a soot to kill order after Katrina.
