LOOTING IN NEW ORLEANS.............................

[ssd]

I can't believe the news that US troops are being deployed AWAY from rescuing people to stopping looters taking things from stores??

Where are the priorities? People will die but shops won't have as much knicked?

Makes me furious

ML, I am SHOCKED by the reports your SIL sent you (hi, btw).

Not sure why I should be ...

Oops, I mean SISTER, not SIL

It is absolute prejudicy, ex...the difference between the white people finding food, the black people looting.
If I am holding my two babies in neck deep water filled with sewage, & dead bodies, damn right I will "steal" food & water & damn right I will hotwire a car ...fill it with as many people as possible & get the hell out of there. Thats what insurance is for.
It has been said that Bush dislikes black people, ....wrong...he dislikes the poor.
Apparently the media seems to dislike black people by making their survival attempts seem like theft opposed to what was said about the white couple.
I do recall some people in the pics stealing tv's but you know, let's focus on the small percentage of people taking advantage of misery rather than showing the misery in the Superdome/convention center.
