Just heard on the radio, most of the homes being looted are where the residents evacuated and most of these homes were not burned in the fires and were left untouched, except for the looters.

Seems everyone left, and the looters went in...

One of the reasons I would likely not evacuate, and stay to protect my property from fire or whatever. Once you evacuate, you're not going back unless told to. I'd rather take my chances, depending on the circumstances.

A lot of Obama supporters have moved up to Colorado lately.

Obama’s comment: “If I had a son, those looters would look just like....”

The authorities told them to leave, probably forced them to do so. A lesson should be learned here.

It’s easy to say that but the people who have died in these fires are those who did not evacuate. I’m in Denver and am not threatened but the photos I saw from friends in Colorado Springs were terrifying. There is no way I would have stayed with that big of a fire coming towards me.

"Unfortunately, opportunistic burglars have been seen in the area as well; two houses were recently looted, bringing the total number to 24"

Just those Illegals, doing the jobs Americans won't do.

Probably they came here as "yewts", and The Messiah just granted them Amnesty, so they feel they "belong here".

A friend in the area told me that last week, Wednesday I think it was, El Paso County Sheriff's deputies were running speed traps. This during the height of the evacuations and turmoil.

So, maybe, just maybe if they had put those officers on another assignment... Say, patrolling evacuated portions of the County... Maybe some of those homes wouldn't have been looted? I don't blame the deputies - going where told. If I lived there though, I'd think long and hard about voting that Sheriff out at the next opportunity. Seems his priorities are a bit off.

Sorta makes you wonder ... if all the roads are blocked off with checkpoints and no one allowed in, how did the looters get the stuff out? Back of a police van, fire support truck, FEMA van, ?????

Why are there so many trashy, disgusting people in this country who will use misery and disaster to make life more difficult for the innocent?

The city being discussed is government income central, and not only military jobs. As for Calirado in general, it’s administered by environmentalist, animal-worshiping NIMBYs from both political parties, who reject mining, drilling, manufacturing—real work in general. Funding from all levels of government, tourism,...that’s about it.

This is why so many people did not leave New Orleans during Katrina. They knew if they left, their big screen televisions and stereos, etc. would be stolen if they weren’t their to protect their government supplied toys.
