Looter are armed gang situation worsening.
Remember they can bus them to the polls but can't bus them to safety.
Thanks for that link!
Methinks this could be a preview of what will happen in a substantially massive terror strike on a major city. My advise: Go out and buy lots of guns and ammunition. There is a very large criminal underclass lurking just below the surface that will need to be eradicated.
STOP with the racism. You make all conservatives look bad.
Or Perry in Texas who is having to pick up some slack from Blanco.
I don't say this as a conservative. If this had happened to Richardson in NM he probably could have handled it. Blanco is a complete disgrace and danger, and the President, federal Government and neighboring Governors are having to rally to cover her incompetant backside.
funny, somebody said on another thread, that that boob governor in LA was a perfect example of why women shouldn't....something. and then you pop up with a well thought out, logical, common sense plan. even funnier, i actually did that during Floyd. and another woman did it in another hurricane. wow........
the strange part is, there aren't reports of anyone doing this in NO, are there. the only folks doing it are the EMPLOYEES
Did you even bother to read the above before you quoted it? Hospital staff was told to remain to help during the hurricane, and in the aftermath. The prison inmates couldn't exactly get up and leave, now, could they?
Sheesh. Such idiocy.
As a hispanic, I often cringe when I see hispanics doing stupid/wrong, or evil things. I know its silly, since they have NOTHING to do with me, but I do. Its an emotional response. That said, if Bob and Bill (cosby) are anything like me, I feel bad for them, and any others who might feel as I often do.
I'd like them to know that although the impulse to generalize is strong, I know that most good freepers in their hearts know that these acts by people who share some similar physical traits do NOT in anyway reflect on them. I tend to agree with Mr. Parks, that this behaviour is in part a result of the liberal, Democrat establishment.
As soon as Jesse Jackson gets back from licking the boots of the communist leader of Venzuela, he'll be down there lambasting Bush -- NOT the NO mayor or the governor.
Reading Peggy Noonan saying the same thing. This is clearly a difference, and NO ONE was defending scum like this. Strawmen are still strawmen, hurricane or not.
Why did you ask me to explain why it is not relevant?
The point that you seem to be missing is that you're the one who jumped on the fact that the perp's ethnicity was mentioned .. and you assumed racism was involved.
I'm not the only one making that very rational assumption. What's the purpose of mentioning race?
Bears repeating. Even if you don't live in a city.
Falluja is far more civilized than NO.
food and water in a damaged building would be thrown out when the owner returns anyway, is the prevailing view anyway. FDA doesnt let you sell water damaged foodstuffs.
Well you still do not go in shooting at people and if you would just think a minute you would realize how that would be reported to the world, used against President Bush and how it would create all kind of havoc.
All we would hear on station after station is that the military shot a poor victim. The word would spread like wildfire through all displaced people and, of course, they would start banding together, hunting for guns, and attacking all those trying to evacuate them.
Of course, we have to make them stop. We need a law and order presence that shows that things are under control - but you don't get that by going in and shooting people that could be drug addicts without their fixes, people not receiving their medications, people desperate to help a sick grandmother.
If all of you keep on talking about shooting people, mowing them down and all the hateful comments people mention they are sick of reading, you will destroy the reputation of FreeRepublic and make us no more than a DU site.
Get a grip and show the hearts and wisdom-filled minds that we have come to expect on FR.
Tough talk from a scared rat.
Underclass? People are aspire to BE underclass. Its the cool thing now you know. Turn on MTV and BET sometime and see for yourself.
Indeed.
Barbour laid down the law to would be looters right out of the chute.
Gov. Blanco is staying out of sight & whining to Bush.
Blanco NOT getting water & ice out there and handing it out to the people.
The mayor was suited up and AT CNN this morning. NOT getting water & ice out there and handing it out to the people.
I didn't even realize he was a FReeper. Thanks for cluing me in.
