"after finding bread and soda from a local grocery store"

lol, so true,

bread and soda is not something you "find" on the streets, abandoned, or growing on trees. You have to BUY or TAKE them. No ones buys anything at this time.

There is a difference. I saw a news story today where police officers were telling people to get back so they could smash open a drug story and move supplies to another neighborhood. After they said they weren't going to stop people from going inside and taking what was left.

[Cough]

Just watch CNN. I suppose they got all the black looters to pose for the video cameras???

Of course most of the whites (except the white trash) got out of NOLA, so the odds are the blacks would be in all the photos.

And BTW everyone down there seems to be turning a "blind eye" to theft of food, diapers etc (as mentioned above the cops took control of a Walgrens drug store and gave away diapers and medication) but some of the videos clearly show blacks making off with high end electronics etc - I guess they must be the "necessities of life"

NEW ORLEANS (AP) - What police presence there is in New Orleans and Biloxi, Mississippi, isn't slowing down looters.

A police spokesman in New Orleans says a police officer was shot in the head by a looter, but he's expected to recover.

Dozens of looters on historic Canal Street have ripped open steel gates to stores. Some filled plastic garbage cans to carry or float stolen goods.

In Biloxi, looters picked through slot machines of damaged casinos to see if they still have coins inside.

One motel owner says people are just "filling up garbage bags and walking off like they're Santa Claus."

If you saw some of the "live" CNN coverage, you would've seen lots of other races with "high end electronics" but you saw a 30 second edit.

Gotta think about the essentials.

2/3 of New Orlean's population is black, so just from a statistical standpoint, you're going to see more black looters.

okay, if you look at the pics, the white looters are carrying just enough to make one meal... whereas black looters are carting away much much more in garbage bags and buckets...

when you guys were watching CNN, did you see the part where as soon as one robber came out of the store, another robber tried to rob that robber of the stolen stuff he just robbed? :cheesygri

LOL

crazy stuff. :cheesygri

[Blazin_Sunfire]
