Do you mean those two NY residents?

Do you mean that woman who has called for immediate investigation on why this WH didn't respond the way she wanted. The woman who blames everyone else for their troubles.

Do you mean that man who criticized this WH for not responding the way he felt they should have. The man who says it is someone elses fault he debased his family.

If this is the couple you mean the answer is no, bercause it wasn't their fault they looted the peoples house. They did it because they could. It was someone elses fault,

Did they ever catch the White House looters of 2000?

Great point! They were even forced to return some stuff, too, so they couldn't claim innocence. Air Force 1 was looted, too.

I bet those looters had never touched a 500 rd box of ammunition....as Celine Dion would say "Let them touch it just once in their lives."

The military and police are doing this because they are racist. ;-)

Of course, the looters we have on video will be MUCH easier to prosecute...if we can identify them

Thats easy. Offer rewards for anyone coming forward to identify them. That will do it.

Look, please don't paint your sarcasm with a broad brush. Many New Orleans police did an outstanding job considering the amount of thugs, thieves, and murderers in that city and considering the small number of THEM against THE OTHERS.

They need to fire the women police officers and any others that looted and fire those who ran away. The rest seem to be hard working loyal officers to me...so stop the bashing please.

As another said, will a jury of their peers convict?

I think this was in reference to the cases where there was video proof. The looters would probably just plead guilty, get a slap on the wrist and go on about their business. I think, if there are prosecutions, they will be misdemeanor charges tried before a smaller court with punishments just public service work or a few monthes probation. I don't think they will tie up the courts with jury trials. And if someone is standing in front of a judge with his mug in plain sight, shown looting, I'd say they will just plead guilty, and take their little spanking. Not all but most.

They found the bike in his posession, but he wasn't at his house, although eyewitnesses say he used to carry the bike with him all the time.

He declined to provide details on how many goods had been found, how many businesses or homes had been looted, or if authorities had any long-term plan to track down some of the culprits.

This thing has cover-up written all over it. This whole episode has been an illuminating, and for conservatives humiliating, experience in who really has the power in this society. The scenes of blacks looting in New Orleans badly shook the liberal establishment, who are always afraid that such scenes might expose the fraudulence of the idea of a multicultural society and cause a backlash that would put them out of power. Why they would be afraid is beyond comprehension since their victims are as tame as toy poodles and wouldn't revolt under any circumstance, but that's liberals for you. When you control the media, particularly in a democracy, you literally have the power to define reality, and it's remarkable how easily and successfully they have managed to turn this thing to their advantage.

OK, now if your stolen bike was found in the suspects possession, why was he not arrested? This seems rather complicated, when it should not be.

Because the guy claimed he got it from a friend. I wanted to press charges on him and I was begging to press charges on him, but he wasn't arrested.
