Sickening!
"Thou shalt not steal."
Of for gosh sakes... GOD had nothing to do with this storm.
Yes, I saw another that works in conjunction with the Salvation Army.
Operation Blessing, Affiliated with CBN.
They already have semi's in the area suppling food to the Salvation Army.
I saw the Red Cross 'Urgent Message' commercial on TV this morning.
They as much as said that donations wouldn't necessarily go to NO. They said (paraphrased) that the donations would be used for disasters around the Country.
After the 9/11 debacle I wouldn't trust the Red Cross to spend my donations for disaster relief.
What do you wanna bet Wal-Mart had the security cameras running?
>> What happens when the welfare state meets a power vaccuum.
Gawd is that the most solidly truthful statement I've seen yet.
Bottom line is the politicos are completely out of their depth (no pun intended) - we have senators speaking from parts unknown talking about how bad it is - NO KIDDING!!! The NO officials are in a bunker somewhere, outside the city, or otherwise ducking their duties. Speaking to the warm and comfortable watching FNC at home achieves nothing. The NO officials and the LA governor need to drop the platitudes and take some action.
Excellent post and I wholeheartedly agree, these people are taking it upon themselves to steal, why should we send them our hard earned money on top of it, I'm with you, when things settle down a bit and become more organized then I'll consider sending monetary aid or maybe water and blankets.
The bottom line is that I am happy, I got out, my family got out and my friends got out.
NOTE TO ALL: Please go loot my house right now so that I do not have to clean it up when I go back. I also have a dozen relatives with me here in Texas that have given permission for their homes to be looted. The houses are gone the city is gone. We really don't care about our TV's at this point.
I could have picked any place in the US to live. Why do you think I am in Kansas? Looks like another 100% increase in my homeowners insurance because of people who want to build 20 feet below sea level or in a beach house that gets washed away every other year. I feel no mercy for anyone who chooses to live within 100 miles of the ocean. 22 years on the sea was plenty for me.
Statistics do not bear that out. In North York, a suburb of Toronto, police statistics indicated that blacks made up 20% of the population, but were committing 80% of the crime in that neighborhood (known as a pretty rough neighborhood back then). The response of the government was swift: they banned the compiling of police statistics.
Reagarding Houston, I just heard people will be sent to the astrodome, right now they are trying to organize a means of transportation, it's just a matter of time.
And when a tornado destroys your Kansas home I do not expect you to have your hand out to the Feds.
Very well said, and I agree with everything you said.
Not all people are bad Black or White.
You and me both
The person who made that statement lives in Florida!
"Of course not, but it's man's nature to blame someone or something right after a disaster like this. I'm just trying to understand people's actions and I'm saying that none of us know exactly how we would react."
Yes I do. I would not act like a savage.
Quit making excuses. People like you are pathetic in trying to find ways to excuse the worst behavior of mankind.
As one morning talk show host said today--"Friends, with what we are seeing in New Orleans, it is clear to me that we are barely a stumble or two away from going back into the Dark Ages."
Sadly he might be correct.
I won't forget Mississippi. One can't help but notice the contrast between the situation there and NO.
