Members shredhead666 Posted August 30, 2005 Members Share Posted August 30, 2005 WTF? How could anybody run around stealing stuff in a crisis situation like what's happening in Southern Louisiana/Mississippi/Alabama? {censored}ing losers. The whole lot of 'em. And how come all the looters I see on the news are black?!?! Outrageous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Digital Jams Posted August 30, 2005 Members Share Posted August 30, 2005 Pretty sad, CNN reported people leaving stores with baskets full of food. I would duct tape their butts to the front of the store with a sign saying "I am a scumbag" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members '63-Strat Posted August 30, 2005 Members Share Posted August 30, 2005 I agree 100%, really disgusting to see that this is what people do in a time like this. I've also noticed that almost all looters they've shown were black, but some were hispanic as well. I wouldn't put it past the media to be showing racially slanted coverage though. I find it hard to believe that there aren't any rednecks looting in this situation as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bob Savage Posted August 30, 2005 Members Share Posted August 30, 2005 Sadly, I fully expected looting. It seems that when many people believe the risk of being caught is low, it brings out the worst in them. In other words, their true colors are revealed. Hopefully, they'll catch a lot of the dirtbags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe most of the looters they show are black & hispanic, because they might just be the bulk of the people doing the looting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jaymeister Posted August 30, 2005 Members Share Posted August 30, 2005 I can empathize with some people looting food. I have heard reports of people carrying canned goods, sodas and diapers out. C'mon...give these poor people a break. On the other hand there's guys flaunting bags full of designer jeans and jewelry right in front of the National Guard. These people should be dealt with severely. Bottom line, the quicker that people can be rounded up to deliver aid, the less we will hear about the looting, and law enforcement will be able to swiftly deal with those that are flagrantly taking advantage of the situation.

Yes, I agree there is a BIG difference in looting for supplies that you're family needs vs. goods that you want but can't afford. It seems like there is a lot of the latter going on though. They were saying something about casinos in Biloxi being hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ranalli Posted August 30, 2005 Members Share Posted August 30, 2005 I'm the last one to promote looting but this is a little different than the LA riots. If you've looked at the news some of these people have NOTHING....NOTHING. So swiping a loaf of bread from a trashed store thats mostly going to be thrown out anyway is OK in my book when your whole neighborhood is destroyed. Until I see people walking out with TVs and couches I think the situation is still civil for the most part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kannibul Posted August 30, 2005 Members Share Posted August 30, 2005 If it were me, I would have no problem stealing only enough food for myself and my family to live off of for the next couple days. I would make ammends after the flooding was over though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree 100%... as long as they aren't hoarding and/or taking *everything* off the shelve leaving others to go without.

As for the human body filter, I think most would die from dehydration due to dysentery if they drank that water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
