Once a nutter, always a nutter, eh?
You have no idea how nutty/goofy/irrational you sound.
Welcome!
Make yourself a piece of cinnamon toast and have a hot bath
Well if I couldn't bathe or brush my teeth I'd wanna riot too. Cabin fever is setting in early.
Already sent to the bad freeper kitchen for an hour!

OH, THANK YOU!!! These guys are just as much heroes as the guys digging into 9/11!!! Oh, I just think of these poor people after two more weeks of 95-degree-plus temps, water, mosquitoes, and losing all their belongings!!
I'll go so far as to turn a blind eye to theft, provided it is for survival and no other options exist.
SURVIVAL, not convenience.
As in: A choice between stealing and living or not stealing and dying.
PERIOD.
However, the theives of necessities OUGHT to leave contact information and a list of pilfered goods so that the proper owner can seek proper recompense when the emergency is over.
What were they going to do about diapers if the hurricane hadn't hit? They were given 2 days notice to prepare...it's not a question about not being able to buy it now...they could have bought it anytime in the last 2 days.
It is a matter of taking advantage of a bad situation. Stealing diapers because they were not being watched...and she thought she could get away with it!
Looters.
Those that steal from those that have
lost their livelihoods.
it was fantastic video..great job by the NO Police....the first woman out had a great attitude Courtney Jackson..she stayed with grandma...and she didnt even know how her own house fared ..she said she was just happy to be alive..God Bless them all...
I'm numb after all the videos...that was simply breathtaking in scope...I think that was all NO we were seeing.
