Surveillance camera footage from the site of last month's terrorist attack in Kenya appears to confirm allegations that government soldiers looted the luxury mall's vacant shops amid the chaos, a Nairobi paper reports.

According to The Star newspaper, CCTV footage from the Westgate Mall shows Kenyan soldiers stealing from cash registers, and filling shopping bags with money following the bloody Sept. 21 attack that killed at least 67 people.

The Kenyan military took control of the mall roughly six hours after the attack began, and according to the Nairobi newspaper, soldiers can be seen looting two hours after that.

The footage reportedly shows a soldier with his back to the camera dumping the contents of a supermarket cash register into a grocery bag held open by another soldier. Moments later, he can then be seen emptying another register.

“much like our Kenyan president is looting America...”

I think it was Al Capone who caught a kid stealing his hubcaps. He said, “For God’s sake kid, don’t steal the hubcaps, steal the car.” Our president has advice for them.

In Kenya it’s double time for overtime — two Rolex watches.

My thought exactly. Looting comes natural to him.

A friend of mine lives in the Gary-Calumet Region (for those outside Indiana, it’s simply known as “The Region”). He said one night in Gary a shoe store was robbed; somebody threw a concrete block through the window. Gary PD rolled up in response to the alarm and the first thing the cops did was fill the trunks of their squad cars with shoes.

Our leader Kunta Kenya:

“If I had a son in the military, he’d be filling his pockets with cash at a local mall.”

When our Embassy there was bombed in 1998, locals swarmed the site within minutes, stealing whatever they could cart away. Embassy security staff and Marine watch standers had to hold them off at gunpoint.

Class act, just like THE FOREIGNER. I wonder if they took the personal belongings of the dead.
