Hand it to anyone.

I'll never set foot in LA.
Not after what I've been
seeing of it in the past
few days.

Are you listening to the scanner online? I had the link through another thread last night, but now I can't find it. Could you put up a link here? Thanks.

As someone on the news said today, day 4 is when dysentery starts, and this is day 4.

The hospital ship that was sent out today won't get there till the end of next week.

The ships should have been deployed
Monday. Even it they sat out in
the gulf (at least nearby) so it
wouldn't take as long to get
to the ppl.

Just because you and the moderator think my original post was problematic, doesn't necessarily make it so.

I'm afraid it does, because the moderators run this site and they have final say over what is and what is not problematic. And frankly, your post -- in which you blamed rioting on the "coddling [of] minorities" is pretty indefenseable.

"Send in the gunships and Marines. Leaflet the area saying it will be a free fire zone in 24 hours."

~~~~~~~~~~~~

  1. Separate the victims from the thugs: Include announcements that all who wish to survive must move to and stay on rooftops or other elevated, clearly visible areas -- and stay put.

  2. Arm all rescue vehicles (boats, choppers) and make a max effort to rescue/supply only those in compliance with (1.).

  3. Supply escort gunships, and delete anyone moving at ground level or anyone who displays (or fires) a weapon.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BREAKING NEWS: FEMA suspends boat rescue operations in New Orleans. "Too dangerous to continue..."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bleeding hearts: whine all you want. I rest my case.

They are concerned about the people heading to the Astodome. Some of them folks had been wading through all that bad water with cuts.

It didn't need defending. It was factual. I know it's touch to deal with reality, but it touched on the real world.

I can't really get into it, because my post will be removed, while your insulting tripe won't. There's nothing I can do about that except call you on it.

They're thirsty.
It's 110 degrees.
They couldn't evacuate when the mandatory evacuation was ordered because they didn't have a car.

(dripping sarcasm)

It's turning into a WAR!

By some of the articles on FR, it is spreading out of NOLA. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/1474602/posts

Then if you're not going to defend yourself, at least explain yourself more fully.

Look, you've gotten your jollys calling me a klansman, and I can't discuess this issue with you since the mods have deemed it to be too touchy an issue to discuss frankly.

You'll just have to be content to have called me a klansman and we'll leave it at that.

The elephant in the room is this.

The vast majority of the thugs and looters and subhuman scum now creating mayhem are black. But so are the innocent, well-behaved victims. The percentage of scum is smaller than the decent people. But it is large enough so that all hell is breaking loose there.

Fact: Approximately 80% (yes, eighty) of all babies born to black mothers are illegimate. There is no real family structure in many, many black households. A huge percentage of prisoners incarcerated in the US are black. Why is this so? There is no simple answer. The real question is, what can be done about the situation now?

Liberal policies have increased the problem exponentially. Which begs the question, why do they want more of the same? Liberalism is a mental illness. Their reasons are at best stupid and at worst devious and power-driven.

Tough love is the only answer. Black people are not inherently less able that any other race to live decent, law abiding, responsible lives. But the truth is that currently, a higher percentage of them are not. And if things don't change, that fact isn't going to change.

My solutions?

1. Public canings for offenses below murder, rape and kidnapping. This is for all criminals, obviously. Prison time just makes people worse.

2. Public executions for any - ANY - murder, rape, child molestation, or kidnapping.

3. No - NO welfare. Instead, work camps if necessary. Work farms. Fire fighting, renovation of cities, some kind of work must be done. Fatherless children with incompetent mothers? More places like Boys' Town. Stop the cycle of fatherless children raising themselves on the street turning into feral animals.

4. Let churches and faith based organizations have practically free rein. They will do more to help people get their lives back than any government bureaucracy.


Unless people get off of drugs, and get seriously and painfully punished for the crimes they commit, the situation will never change. Unless people stop screwing like rabbits and producing children without married parents to love and care for them, the situation won't change. Unless the welfare stops, the situation won't change.

And this goes for blacks, whites, and every color in between.

It must be because of the video game violence. To the shooter it is "only" a game. Now we all know how EVIL those video games are.
