NEW ORLEANS With much of the city flooded by Hurricane Katrina, looters floated garbage cans filled with clothing and jewelry down the street in a dash to grab what they could. In some cases, looting on Tuesday took place in full view of police and National Guard troops. At a Walgreens drug store in the French Quarter, people were running out with grocery baskets and coolers full of soft drinks, chips and diapers. When police finally showed up, a young boy stood in the door screaming, 86! 86! the radio code for police and the crowd scattered.

No pics, but we really know, do we not?
And folks, that is a very sad point.

I’m okay with shooting looters, not because the chips and soft drinks are worth a life but because someone who will loot will also kill the innocent. These looters are by definition not innocent.

I'm surprised the boy didnt yell out a calculus formula to warn his fellow looters of the police.
∫ x n dx = xn+1 /(n+1) if n+1 ≠ 0

I went through Hurricane Katrina in Biloxi, Mississippi. No looting to my knowledge. Wonder what the difference was?

I recall that homo walking down bourbon street talking about how lucky NOLA was immediately after Katrina. Everyone, and I mean everyone knew that the storm wasn’t to issue—it was never the issue. It was the water.
And that fag is skipping in his ruby slippers, tip-tapping down canal street.
I despise that man.

You already know the difference since we already know but we will not say a thing.
BTW, we got about 200,000 NOLA transplants into our great city of Houston after Katrina hit in 2005 and you know what? Crime has gone up since this happened!

Funny story. I moved to the Dallas/Ft Worth area after Katrina because my mortgage business was totally destroyed. Got hired on as a supervisor at the unemployment office as a supervisor as I had 20 years experience in that field. One of my main jobs was signing off on free benefits for the New Orleans Katrina refugees.

Somebody needs to post the pick of the Heineken looter guy.There was a mad rush to find and smear the black guy who stood behind Trump in Arizona.
I don't remember a similar effort to find "Lootie".
