Do you really think a MAJORITY of NO residents are responsible for the looting and other criminal activity that happened last week?

Don't bother reasoning with some people on this site. Some want to make it look like everyone was a looter.

Of course not. The majority of NO residents left before the hurricane hit.

Well, we do know the majority of raping, looting and crime WAS done by NO residents,

As a practical matter, it makes no difference that the bad are in the minority if the majority do nothing to stop them.

Well, I think it's highly likely that a majority of those who stayed behind are looters, yes I do.

Practically every single building has been looted. Perhaps hundreds have been raped or murdered. N.O. has a crime rate ten times the nat'l average in the best of times. C'mon, that's not an insignificant minority acting up.

Don't know about everyone else, but if four or five people out of every ten in a given locality pose a danger to me, I'm not going to go around blabbering about what "lovely" people they are.
