I certainly would not beleive ANYTHING from the Globe relative to ANY politicized event -- such as this disaster. The only people I would believe about the looting the store owners. Only they will know what ACTUALLY disappeared. Not a bunch of "sociologists".

I think you will start seeing more and more... experts coming out and dispelling some of these bogus media reports...
More and more people are getting sick of this Yellow Journalism by the MSM

The only thing less honest than an liberal actor is a liberal (semi-retired) professor. I wonder if the good professor "corrected for the race of the local residents" of each disaster, as they say in the statistical trade.

More importantly, how many priceless historical artifacts were looted from the French Quarter Museum, Saloon & Cathouse?

I guess because I wasn't there, maybe there was no hurricane at all. I'm sure I could find statistics to support my opinion.

In a media frenzy, what your eyes see is not always trustworthy, either.

I think I'll trust long term studies that have some numbers behind them. It's simply not likely that I'll ever buy into a single picture ~ recalling at the moment the very finely crafted photo of Pope Paull II with his hand on Hillary's butt.
These guys do setups for video that are quite artful ~ and are getting much better.
Best to not believe what you see.

Since when do lifetime students know anything about the gansta life and mentality.?
To: Congressman Billybob
Yup, no looting, just bandages etc ...
... except for every store that didn't have a shotgun behind its door.
To: steve-b
Personally, I question how many sociologists were on the ground during the flood to see anything at all.

that would contradict much of what sociologists have learned in a half century of research about such situations.LMAO
Pinhead Professors Alert
I wonder how a "verdict" fits in to their study.
I was an eyewitness to the "looting party" that went on for several days in Los Angeles.
I watched cars pull in to a shopping center, the whole family pile out and head into the stores for all they could carry. They all seemed so happy, scary.

According to the psych "profession," maybe rather it was all just "partying."

How could a half century or serious Marxist ideology be allowed to be contradicted by pictures and cams.

It is my theory that had the levies not failed and the the city not been flooded, there would have been much more looting.
I wonder what the sociologists would that about that?
