Same reason they wanted to get in the hotels....$$$ from guests and food...
Probably a family with a sick kid knocking on a door for help, and they paint a picture of the night of the living dead.
Drugs is right.
Maybe all are unarmed, with no security at all.
"can't respond because of the flood"
What the hell? This is crazy. Where are the priorities? Parachute in Delta operators or send in Marines in amtracs if you have to.
The first thing I noticed when they showed some of those videos of the stores being looted was that the pharmacies had been trashed.
Shoot to kill would be too kind.
Should be shoot to maim.
Let the scum live on -- minus a kneecap, a hand, whatever.
O golly, did I say that out loud? oops.

My mother has remained with her husband at their home on st. charles ave. The home is over 100 yrs old and they still have phone lines and water. They are between Broadway and the Riverbend. My mom reports that at this time there is only structural damage (wind damage) between st. charles and the levee, at least as far as teh Winn Dixie market place. However, her real fear now is not water but looters. She reports they have seen a number of suspicious men in trucks driving down st. charles and pulling up to empty apartment houses and homes. She has seen almose no police and not one national guard. I know that lives need to be saved, but something should be done to protect those houses and property that has by some miricle thus far made it through the storm. Does anyone else know anything?
Who the heck is the governor down there? Who ever it is appears to be a total coward! Who ever it is is expecting some one else to do their job for them!!
What they need is another Jeb Bush down there!!
"Parachute in Delta operators or send in Marines in amtracs if you have to."
Just an observation: I hope this is not due to our being spread too thin as far as troops available is concerned. That would not bode well for the country if we were ever hit hard in more than one place at a time due to a natural or man-made disaster.
Yeah, the police chief commented not long ago that the druggies hadn't had a fix in awhile and were getting 'itchy.' He wasn't kidding.
The hospitals need to hand over the Methadone and Xanax and be sure to tell everyone to take them both together for the best results. They'll all drop dead before morning.
Amen!
Locked cabinets (that can easily be smashed,crowbarred and opened) full of drugs, Spanaway Lori.
Jack.
I hope not. Everyone's in a panic, but I would think the hospital staff could tell the difference between looters and patients, though with looters waiting outside I guess people really coming for help might not get in, either.
* I hope this is not due...
should be
I hope this _lack of response_ is not due...
The "authorities" are a bunch of gutless wonders. Did anyone really think the corrupt government and the busloads of Landrieau voters would produce anything other than anarchy? Welcome to the result of drcades of your pandering to criminal scumbag thugs, Democrat politicians.
I've worked in six different hospitals and every one had a security staff. In those hospitals I was a pharmacy technician. The pharmacies have extra security. I still say there's something fishy about this story.
'Looters' (PC term for rioters, robbers, murderers) are subhuman sewer dwellers. They maneuver like rats.
One way to get rid of the drug addicts and lower NO's crime rate... if they try to break in to the hospital(s) shoot them on the spot! Surely the hospitals have security personnel with guns... this isn't San Francisco after all.
