The people looting for non-subsistance items now are the same dregs of society that they were before the Flood.
PC term: undocumented consumers
So only white looters should be shown?
"Think about it: Water's at your knees, kids are hungry and thirsty. You'd call 911 if you had a phone and if someone would answer. How could I say that if this were my situation, I wouldn't be one of those people heading out of the Wal-Mart with things that could help my family survive?"
Fortune favors the prepared. Or another cliche, you drill your well BEFORE you're thirsty.
Plus, looting started in some places BEFORE the hurricane came through.
"I have to have this flat panel TV to survive! Otherwise, how will I watch the hurricane coverage during the hurricane?!?!?"
Interesting that the reporter had no idea that such was the case, nor did the first few Freepers to respond to his post.
What the pictures of the looters really may really say is that Affirmative Looting works.
It has absolutely nothing to do with one's race. If a majority of looters are black, that's just a fact and nothing more than that. Does this clown really think that reporters are moving past the hoards of white looters to focus only on the hoards of black looters instead?
Let's just be clear about that.
Aren't these the same people that just *LOVED* the pictures of looters in Iraq because it showed our incompetence and lack of control?
The media decision makers are racists because they are liberal. Obvious, not worth an article.
Why isn't she down there putting her compassion to work by counseling these poor people with AK-47s?
Oh boy here we go. On other threads, it was because they are southerners and they aren't getting enough air time.
This article is because they are blacks, so now we have sunk to the lowest denominator yet again with the MSM to USE This terrible tragedy to PUSH AGENDA's!
On one thread the article is pushing a south against the north, on another whites against blacks.
Does anyone find this all disturbing? A NATIONAL tragedy and event and we will nitpick about south and north, whites and blacks?? Wait I thought I was in America where we all are Americans, sorry my mistake............
God Bless America! North, South, East and West!
Oh wait maybe that meant South only......
A telling admission of bias and agenda reporting. Truth be damned we will tell our side of the story.
Thank God for the Second Amendment. Next time these Libs. talk about gun control we must shove this right down their throats.
I can say I would never...my integrity isn't dependent on having a dry home. There is no excuse for the looting of jewelry,TVs ect.
Perhaps it's time for the Black community to figure out why they are raising people who are quick to step over their dead neighbors to steal their belongings. I'm disgusted with the people I've seen on TV, absolutely gleeful as they flee.
"Does 30 seconds of tape, rewound and replayed, tell the whole story?"
Let's see; extremely high crime rates and gargantuan illegitimacy rates amongst urban blacks since the "enlightened" '60s indicate that it might be.
But the looting shots weren't staged...they really happened. It is news.
What are you going do to with a big screen television set in the middle of NO right now? Take it with you on the rescue boat?
Bottom line: the camera is color blind.
If there were whites, hispanics, asians, indigenous or any other non-black looters, the camera would show them too.
This reporter seems to suggest that there is a media conspiracy to edit out any scenes of looting by any race except blacks.
