"Two days after Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans, the Walgreen's store at the corner of Royal and Iberville streets remained locked. The dairy display case was clearly visible through the widows. It was now 48 hours without electricity, running water, plumbing. The milk, yogurt, and cheeses were beginning to spoil in the 90-degree heat. The owners and managers had locked up the food, water, pampers, and prescriptions and fled the City."

Those bastards.

Locking up their own property!

That's not very socialistic!

You should be ashamed. You fault people who give an honest account of what happened. Why do you feel it is so necessary to demonize the victims? Isn't there enough evil in the world?

We have yet to see any of the TV coverage or look at a newspaper.

Now why don't I believe this? And why did they feel the need to even say it?

We are willing to guess that there were no video images or front-page pictures of European or affluent white tourists looting the Walgreen's in the French Quarter.

Again, why say this?

We also suspect the media will have been inundated with "hero" images of the National Guard, the troops and the police struggling to help the "victims" of the Hurricane.

No agenda here. None at all.
