DEATH TO LOOTERS ! !!!



It would be one thing if they were looting food, water or medicine. But I've
heard reports that they are looting jewelry and electronics!

Why don't we send in more National Guard? Oh, yeah, I forgot. Bushtard
sent them off to fulfill his political agenda.

My electric power came back on at 4:22 PM this afternoon,it had been off
since yesterday morning at 11:42 AM.Hurricane Katrina picked up her
bones and sure did rattle them too.The saddest thing is,some people lost
their lives.

Good to hear your OK..

What happened in your neck of the woods ??

Hurricane Katrina blew down a lot of trees onto a lot of electric power
lines in the Jackson area.Some houses suffered mostly minor damage from
the wind.Some trees got blown down onto some houses.I went over to my
sister and brother in law's home this morning,a distance of about five
miles from my house.I think I counted at least sixteen trees that had
gotten blown down,but there are many,many more trees all over the
Jackson metro area that got blown down.Some cities and towns in South
Mississippi and Louisiana suffered the worst damage.It will be years and
years before things get back to normal.There are a lot of refugees in
Jackson and other cities and states who dont have a home to go back to.

Yeah, but something tells me that the jewelry or a PSP
will not come in so handy when they need food. That
sort of loot becomes an albatross when you need to
escape, and kicking everyone out of NO means that
they won't be able to hang onto their ill gotten wealth.

--Mike L.

They have been abandoned. They are scared and irrational.
Perfectly
human response for those who have no hope.

They have not been abandoned. A significant portion of
them chose to stay for whatever reason, and given the
lack of power and other items in NO, they are probably
not aware of how bad things are beyond the next day
or two.

Those who simply could not get out tried to go to safe
locations as best they could, and are making do as best
they can.

It also would not surprise me in the least that a portion of
the people who stayed decided to stay to see if they
could loot.

--Mike L.

I kind of feel sorry for those looters because they will probably die
because of lack of food. But it's their bad choice.
