Actually, I'm partial to the approach that a police officer offered on the news last night. If they're looting non-necessities, then handcuff them to a pole, put a sign around their neck that says "LOOTER" and let happen what may.
I said it in the other thread too -- if you can't find anything more productive to do in this kind of disaster than steal someone else's shit, then you deserve to be thrown out in the floodwaters. Preferably naked, with your hands tied.
LOL! Americans... YOU GET YOURS?!!

It never ceases to amaze me that people care more about getting a new tv and 100 pair of blue jeans that don't fit more then they care about their childrens welfare and their fellow neighbors.HM-PuFFNSTuFF wrote:it never ceases to amaze me how people care more about property than they do their fellow humans.
Makes me sick seeing all those losers looting electronics and stuff, and knowing people are still trying to be rescued and can't.. I wouldn't think twice about leaving everything behind as long as my family was safe.. that's all that matters, material possesions can be replaced, family can't.
Here's another nice article about this happening and bush cuts..

"No One Can Say they Didn't See it Coming"
By Sidney Blumenthal
In 2001, FEMA warned that a hurricane striking New Orleans was one of the three most likely disasters in the U.S. But the Bush administration cut New Orleans flood control funding by 44 percent to pay for the Iraq war.

That'll teach 'the man'.
I only mock rap because I think it's a huge part in the de-evolution and stupidification of American society.
amen.
All you see is what your jounalists and government want to show you about America. I bet half the time if not all the time they will never show what good America does for the world or that 99.99% of the American Population are decent people.
So go ahead trash America, don't care, I know the truth.

You registered with the wrong party. If EMS stops rescuing people to stop someone wading away with a TV, then they're fucking retarded. Do I agree with looting? No. Do I think you should execute someone because they're stealing? No. Are looters fucking scumbags? Yes.Dek wrote:Nightshade wrote:Yeah, shoot people for carrying off a TV. Because human life is worth far less than an inanimate object that insurance will reimburse the store owner for.Dek wrote:I say, if you have food.. let em go.. if you have a TV/Electronics..
shoot em in the head..
And all these folks on the board are probably all like, be nice to them.. a taser is too rough.. pfft shoot em
Dumbass. You're such a fucking republican.
Actually, registered democrat. Thank you, come again.
It's an overexagerration, if you are dumb enough to take advantage of the situation and you feel instead of evacuating and saving your own life that you feel it's free looting time so you can be big pimping once the water goes down, you should be shot.
When the police/rescue have to stop rescue saving folks in life threatening situations to calm you the looting public from looting and causing general mayhem, yes, you should be shot so those that do give a fuck can live. You are damn fucking right. Shoot em in teh fuggin head for all I give a shit. If you are a theif and my mother would have to die on top of her house waiting for a rescue because they had to put a hold on rescues to get some fat ass dude carrying a tv down the street to keep it above water, yes you sir deserve to die.

I agree with you for the most part. The problem I have though, is in a situation like this, that is beyond dire for everyone there already, there is only one rational thing to do: take care of you and yours, and when you're safe and as comfortable as can be expected, help others in the community do the same.Nightshade wrote:You registered with the wrong party.

These looters and gangbangers are taking an unbelieveable catastrophe, and actually adding to it and making it worse, so I can't find an ounce of pity or even sympathy in my heart for anyone who is looting non-necessities, when there are dozens of other things they could be doing that would - if not help the situation - at least not make things worse.
Fuck em. Let them fight each other in the streets if that's what they want to do.
But I also agree with you that the police shouldn't be called off rescue missions just to keep people from stealing shit. That's just retarded on their part. As a matter of fact, it's almost as offensive as the looting itself.

man, everytime i hear the word looting, looters, or desperate the images that accompany those words are of black people. not to dwell on the find vs. loot thing but jesus.
first off, violence is retarded. secondly, fuck you mister news man with your morality complex. fuck the 'journalists' flying in from all over the country so that they may too 'document' the hysteria and beam it back to billings, montana and other affiliates at zero expense to their property and person. they were all flown in there prior to the storm hitting and i can pretty much assure you they're doing nothing in the way of 'relief'. AND THEN, to have the audacity to pass judgement on people for making irrational decisions. complicit morality mongers.
thirdly, is this a frank drebin thread?

I'm not racist nore am I trying to sound like one. I'm going by what I am seeing on many different news coverages from many different networks. And the sad thing is, what I said was almost directly quoting a few people I heard earlier on the news. I just added the "keeping it real" part.SplishSplash wrote:You can't express your racist feelings in highschool so you're gonna do it here?c0ld wrote:hey, they be just keeping it real yo. dis is payback fom years of oppression. :icon27:
Fact is all this is going on in an area that is has a prodominently black, so out the many decent people allot of the scum in the area also happens to the same race?
If it happended in an area that was prodominently white trash then I would throwing out similar quotes in a redneck flavor.
I dont hate any race, such ideals only shows ignorance and immaturity. I just hate dumb assholes that take advantage of such a tragic event. And for the dumb fucks who rationalise what they are doing as revenge from oppression.. Just sickens me, all they are doing is hurting their OWN race/people by not only not trying to help each other out(let allone make it so search and rescue effords have to be slowed down to deal with this) but also for making a horrible representation of their race with such selfish actions.(by now I'm refuring to some of the accounts of people holding other people up at gunpoint and robbing them and, not just really the wallmart looters as pointed out above).
edit: also have to agree with prince1000
