Anybody caught stealing whether on tape or in person will not be charged. They were suffering from "I just got hit by a hurricane syndrome".
Thanks for the visual! lol
Looters are but rats and deserve their jury of 12 (gauge). In crises without potable water, even beer is exusable, but not wine, liquor, electronics, clothes AND jewelry.
Looters are the most vile opportunistic parasites.
In my college days neighborhood in Austin, Texas, a creek flash flooded the cul de sac streets; within hours looters were prowling with cars and box vans stealing everything not destroyed until my ex-neighbor's family stood guard with 12's, M1-A, and AR-15 with bayonet. The occasional police patrols saluted them.
N.O. authorities have totally lost control.
N.O. should be abandoned as a dump and let fish flourish to become the GulfCoast's best fishing.
Here you go. DUmmie FUnnies is an almost daily thread that shows some of the funnier DU posts. Just search for it on FR.

I have thought it through and seen the same thing happen in Indonesia after the tsunami with people coming in from the outside and selling packages of noodles for US10.
People aren't going to die in a day or two.
In any case, you're overlooking the long-term problem. If law-abiding citizens don't have full confidence that looting will be firmly suppressed, they will ignore evacuation orders and hole up to defend their homes... thus greatly increasing the death toll of future disasters.
I hope the blacks not there are proud of their culture...on the other hand, some are probably pissed they're missing out on it...
I might buy this arguement if they had been without food for 5-7 days, but since they started looting immediately after the winds stopped, well, just seems like an argument for the TV movie version rather than reality.
I found it strange that so many looters had vehicles, but couldn't leave because of lack of transportation.
I don't know who to believe, liberals or my lying eyes. /sarc
There has been very little "survival" looting and a whole lotta wholesale theft of goods under color of anarchy.
I am only presuming that the weapon will be assumed to be illegal. If it is legal, maybe the owner could get away with it. In a word, I'm not sure. Any thoughts?
The state believes that an illegal firearm is what it says it is.
That state then is an illegal state.
