You've got two kinds of looters:
A man walked down Canal Street with a pallet of food on his head. His wife, who refused to give her name, insisted they weren't stealing from the nearby Winn-Dixie supermarket. "It's about survival right now," she said as she held a plastic bag full of purloined items. "We got to feed our children. I've got eight grandchildren to feed."
This is survival...no problem. Sometimes you have to resort to lowering yourself to feed your family.
Then there's this:
Looters filled industrial-sized garbage cans with clothing and jewelry and floated them down the street on bits of plywood and insulation as National Guard lumbered by.
These are common criminals taking advantage of a situation. These low-lifes should be arrested and made to pay restitution...or if they resist...shoot em. Shoot a couple of looters and they'll think twice about stealing a case of beer.
This statement pisses me off:
"To be honest with you, people who are oppressed all their lives, man, it's an opportunity to get back at society," he said.
What a load of horse shit...just because he feels oprressed, he's gonna get even by stealing and looting? Just what did Winn-Dixie grocery stores do to people to keep them oppressed?
