Katrina looters.

Oh man, have you read some of the info about the looting? Jesus...

Well last night I was watching the 6pm news when they announced the 17th street canal pumps failed as well as another break in the levee. My house is right off St. Charles Ave. and up to 6pm yesterday is was the only part of the city that was dry. Since the pumps failed and the new break St. Charles Ave. would be under 9ft of water in the next 12-15hrs. My brother and I felt if we wanted to save anything we had to leave NOW. We loaded up flashlights, rope, our medical ID's, both our .45 Glocks, 2 shotguns and rode out. En-route we listened to the radio which broad casted all the news about the looters and what not, in hindsight it was a mistake. My mother didn't want us to go by dad who is a Vietnam vet told to be safe and "shoot to kill" if it ever comes to that. One the way we had to pass 5-6 checkpoints to allow entry into the city. We stated we were medical personnel who were activated, showed our ID and off we went. On the radio reports were coming in about the officer who was shot in the head, the 2 gunman who opened fired on the NOPD station, and how looters were carjacking cars to get out of the city. This started making my brother nervous and giving seconds thoughts. Anyway we get to the city and it looks like a freaking war zone. The best visual I can give is the movie "Blackhawk Down" when all the Somalians are rushing the city. They are people EVERYWHERE, they are pissed off, and all have weapons, 2X4's, Axes, and guns. If this wasn't bad enough we are 2 white boys in a truck in a sea several hundred armed pissed off blacks. There wasn't a white person to be found. I couldn't get over the little 8-10yr old kids with weapons, I ever saw one carry a claw hammer! These people were absolutely nuts rammed trucks(stolen I'm sure) in to jewelry stores stealing items, they were tearing apart Wal-Mart carrying out TV's, Playstations, DVD players, etc. One lady was wheeling out an entire rack of merchandise, not sure what it was but sure wasn't clothes for food. They were all laughing and carrying on like it's freaking Christmas. We got stuck in traffic when we see the group of guys walking down the street w/ AK-47's, at that point the "pucker factor" kicked in, a couple Glocks and shotguns were no match for that. We haul azz trying to get to Uptown when we see these people chopping down the front door w/ an axe of this $4-5 million dollar mansion on ST. Charles Ave. I was just in total awe because it was so surreal. Making matters worse it's 11pm at night there is no electricity and you really can see anything or anyone until they are right up on you. Our plan was to be in and out in 30min, this included putting his Harley on the trailer. It would have taken me 5-10min tops to get my stuff, all I wanted was my pictures from college, my clothes/shoes, and my computer tower. Well he got scared saying we are going to get jumped while putting the bike on the trailer. Keep in mind this is the only area in the city that is dry. So just like rats who move to higher ground these people were doing the same. Word must have gotten out that Uptown was dry so there started to be a large influx of people. Needless to say he wanted to go home rather than take our chances. While it was the smart thing to do I was beyond infuriated w/ him because we made it this far. He just kept saying our lives aren't worth it. So we turned around, our next challenge was getting out of the city while not getting jacked. Reports came out that people were jumping in the back of truck holding the drivers at gunpoint. Traffic started to slow so I just nailed it got out as fast as I could. Even though he was the voice of reason I'm still pissed. All I have is my life and the clothes on my back. I lost my house(which is now 9ft underwater) ALL my clothes, TV, computer, furniture, and photo albums and videos from childhood and college. What makes this worse is my brother owned the house and I was a tenant and I didn't have renters insurance, hindsight is 20/20. I also hope everyone of the ****ing looters get Tetanus, E-Coli and F*(KING drown. I'm serious I really hope the all die for what they were doing to the city, killing people, and destroying homes. Never in my life have I ever seen people act live savages, it was truly sicking.

Holy damn.

Thats crazy man. Glad I'm not there.

They already talking like they aren't even going to repair the city cause it wasn't worth it.

Good thing it wasn't mardi gras time. There would be a huge problem then.

... Kaneda you fucking racist, you think it's funny to throw out racial slurs on these forums? I haven't been here wrong, but it's clear you don't like black people. If so, keep it to yourself.

They need batman.

Maybe it just wasn't funny.

You're just not allowed to be in on the funny. "Bob."

You know what's pathetic?

The fact that Bush can go and talk about how bad the Iraqi's or Afghani's are when it comes to how they act, but yet we have people looting, raping and possibly even killing people and yet they say nothing about how bad these people are, hurricane or not. They are acting worse than the Iraqi's and Afghani's are and they still have way more than them.

Not that I 100% disagree with you, but I thought I had to share my thoughts. Bush has never called Iraqis backwards people, atleast not on TV. He has called terrorists lowlife miscreants, or whatever four letter word he uses to describe them. It's usually not the country, it's individuals. For every looter, there is someone who actually has morals and a conscience. You never see those people, because they don't make the news.

On the other hand, most of the people are probably looting for needed supplies. Not only that, but the merchandise that people are looting is probably ruined and insured through the company anyways, so letting it go to waste is just as wrong as not taking it.

Insurance or not, taking anything you don't need should get you shot.

Dem niggaz stealin our shooz!!

Micheal Jordan makes more money in a year off of Nike than all of the workers in Malaysia combined. I think Nike can affored to lose a few thousand in shoes to dem niggaz in New Orleans.

Such lack in patience... I don't feel it as strongly since I live higher north, go canada. In any case. From what I can tell, in the worse of situations people often reveal their truer selves, wether it is to aid another in compassion and virtue, or to revel in one's own needs of survival through whatever needs necessary.

In a place like the US, I'd imagine that the later is more powerful then the earlier, sadly enough though. From what I hear and also from what I've learned of how things work in the US, I'm frankly not too surprised...

It's quite sad too, how we as humans, need to be shown something of such great magnitude to finally wish for an end to violence or to aid one another, or to start to try and make the world we live in safer or a better place. We always need that painful push before we jump into action. What was that phrase I saw somewhere, all it takes for evil to win is for good men to do nothing, something along those lines.

Oh yes, don't jump to conclusions on other people's posts please, I refer to the earlier mention of someone being racist, the comment had nothing to do with races simply rather to the lack of inhibition or the rage of a mob that would take it out on looters, something of the sort. Before you comment on something, first analyze the situation and identify it with wether or not it is what you believe, or what they are trying to convey.

I believe I spoke too much... I may sound somewhat impartial, and truthfully I am, but human lives should never be ignored nor should it be taken for granted... But all I can do up here is hope for the best, wether I worry myself into an ulcer or not will not change how things are going down there. I cannot do anything since I'm rather financially down and am busy with my studies, but others can do what they can, support in whatever form, even encouragement, I'm quite sure, are more then welcome in these times of despair.

But like with the president, it's nice to complain about it, but best is to act upon it. After all, one's actions speaks louder then words... On that note, I really need to shut up and start doing something more constructive... Sorry for my bad habit and I wonder if I'm posting too much on one shot.
