Yeah, those bastards, stealing food and diapers! They should just do us all a favor and drown. I'm sure most of them could swim or float to safety - hell, if they'd have started wading/walking when the storm ended, they'd have made it to Baton Rouge by now.
Oh, there's no question, the people who were stealing non-necessities are thugs and fools and should be charged if caught. But stealing food to survive? Knock yourselves out, I say - gonna go bad anyway.
and expect "the government" to do everything for them.
I think you'll find that the overwhelming majority of the poor souls stranded in NOLA right now are decent, law-abiding people who haven't stolen a single pair of shoes or television. and cannot - literally cannot - do anything to help themselves right now. They're in a city that is broken, where the infrastructure is GONE. Do you understand that, man? There IS no corner grocery. The Walgreens is GONE. No job to go to, no banks open, no nothing.
My Charity will go to those who truly deserve it. And since you don't know me, or what I have contributed over my lifetime, you are in no position to pass judgement.
Let me be crystal clear. I don't give a damn who you are, or what you've contributed over your lifetime. Your attitude as displayed here sucks. I AM passing judgment on what you've written here, which strikes me as callous. You could be a saint in real life, but you're saying some pretty heartless stuff here.

Stealing food and diapers, yea right. I never saw ONE piece of footage showing anyone stealing food and diapers.
NOBODY is starving there yet. Save the liberal drama for a few weeks.
