Kwame would handle it differently. He'd blame it on the previous administration and throw another hoe party.

Last night they were interviewing the LA attorney general on Fox. He was essentially making excuses for the looters.

I don't understand that either. Unless the looters homes were very close to the places they're looting.

Why can't cops and NC get there? Ever heard of a BOAT or jetski??

True, and that's something else entirely. There was footage of people doing this, and they weren't covering their faces or anything - they had no shame.

Maybe it's because our culture is material driven, they've seen and wanted certain things that they couldn't normally have, and all of the sudden, it's within their grasp.

One of the clips was of a child saying "I'm gonna get me some new shoes". The kid was standing in water.

That right there tells you the problems in this country run very deep (no pun intended).


That's very insightful, and something to ponder.

No meaning to offend but you must lead a sheltered life....there are people out there that are nothing short of animals....hospitals have drugs....drugs equal quick high and money....

They are not afraid of the doctors and nurses....would kill them to get what they want....

To give you an idea of the magnitude of thier determination and "evilness", two attacked a NO police station last night with rifles described by the press as AK-47's....Yes, they were not being pursued by the police, they intentionally attacked a police station ala Bagdad style.....

Thanks for the charity links!

I just wanted to add my 2 cents on the suggestion to donate through your employer (in order to recieve matching donations).

The success of this plan really depends on the specific charity. If, for example, your company matches funds to The United Way, you're better off sending $10 to the Salvation Army than $20 to UW. Due to the amount that charities like UW spend in advertising and administration, very little of your contribution will actually reach the intended recipients.

I suggest everyone spend a few minutes to research and donate where they'll see the most "bang for the buck."

Here's another great site to do charity research (they exclude religion-based charities for lack of financial info)

www.CharityNavigator.com

Kathleen Blanco, who is a fairly liberal politician.

Well, if only you could pack heat in a hospital...this wouldn't be an issue.

No excuses. This governor is not much help apparently. Those children need to be put on the priority list of being moved.
The would be looters need to be jailed in neighboring jails, somewhere, and the whole situation needs to be controlled as best as can be.

Fairly liberal? Please. She went to Cuba and cut a deal with Castro.

Fairly Liberal?

Perhaps what they mean by cannot respond is that due to the floods, the NG is devoting all their resources to trying to save lives. They may have a triage system in place with priority going to folks who are in the most danger.

I fear there will be many more horror stories like this as the truth about what is happening in these devastated areas becomes clear.

May God have mercy on us all.

If they're going to surrender any drugs to looters, I would make sure some cardiac and other medications made it into the pile. A little epinephrine 1:1000 into a vein would give them a high they'd not soon forget.

Yep, get the elderly, inform, children and pregnant women out first.

Put the prisoners, looters, drugs addicts, contagious people with AIDS, etc. in the leaking superdome, and let them wait it out. Not so sure I would even waste guards on them....

Something here doesn't smell right. Why would anyone want to loot a hospital?

Are you really that naive?

I wonder what will happen if troops are sent who have just returned from Iraq or Afghanistan?

Who cut the deal to drop all of the looters into Houston, Texas. Who is renting the Astrodome? Who owns the Astrodome? Who is paying the electric bill on the Astrodome? Who authorize the transfer?

When clear thinking starts to prevail, these questions will need to be answered. We all should help, but don't piss down my leg. They will be markedly more manageble if not congregated and if they are spead out geographically.

What is wrong with these people?

First of all, Didn't they prepare with getting food, water ahead of time?

Secondly, "Thou shalt not steal!"
