The looting begins: Thieves strike after superstorm
UK Daily Mail ^ | 10/31/12 | Adam Shergold

Posted on 10/31/2012 2:00:36 PM PDT by Kartographer

As New York City spent a second night plunged in darkness shameless criminals got to work looting abandoned stores and homes across the metropolis. At least 13 suspected thieves have been arrested since Hurricane Sandy struck the city around 6.30pm on Monday evening. Thousands of police and National Guard troops are patrolling the city and keeping guard in the worst-hit areas in a bid to deter any opportunistic crooks. As hundreds of thousands of the city's residents were left without power, some wily criminals posed as Con Edison energy workers to dupe their victims, reported the New York Post

Another reason why some refuse to leave until the last moment, if at all!

Go to Drudge and read ‘Looters display stolen articles on Twitter’.
Absolutely amazing. Surreal- that this trash is posting this and getting away with it.

At least 13 suspected thieves have been arrested

There's the problem in one short sentence. If the sentence had read at least 13 suspected looters have been shot so far the problem would be a lot less serious.

Thus the reason for the 50,000 rounds of ammunition. :)

I’m a firm believer in shooting looters on sight.

When I was hit by a hurricane, and was the only person left in the neighborhood as everyone else had evacuated, I was certainly packing. And I was totally prepared to shoot to kill.

Do not be surprised if these twitters will be traced and reported by the much more law abiding twitters. Their pictures are simply an outright give away.

You got to be understan-an-an-anding..

"You know, some people are stealing and they're making a big deal out of it. Oh, they're stealing 20 pair of jeans or they're stealing television sets. Who cares? They're not going to go too far with it. Maybe those people are so poor, some of the people who do that they're so poor they've never touched anything in their lives. Let them touch those things for once." Celine Dion following Katrina.

We need to hit our knees and pray for this country and that “leaders” step forward. The old media will die shortly after this election if their king loses. The new media is rising fast so true leaders no longer need to fear the media bubble that all of us loathe. They willingly assist in putting people in jail for made up crimes so long as they are real Americans. All the while protecting the socialist criminals in government and these cretin scum who freely post their crimes on the internet.

1st and second ammendment. God save our country.
