"The stuff being stolen has NOTHING to do with survival at this point. It's just people acting like animals." ------------ You're so fucking wrong. This area is shattered. Stealing small but valuable items sure as hell is survival. Stealing electronics is dumb, it will get wet. Gold/Diamonds? Fuck yeah im taking it in that situation.

You people sit in your comfortable house calling people animals that literally had their life torn apart. You have no fucking clue what it is like to struggle.

I respect your opinion but look at it this way, they're estimating electricity will be out for almost 2 months. Schools are closed. Businesses are destroyed. Food/Shelter/Clothing will be an ongoing issue unless U.S. Government really steps up relief to the millions of people effected.

Now, if you lost everything, would you really play the moral card and not take the chance of solidifying your own self by possibly looting a store? Get fucking real.

Those people should be shot.

Yeah... it's just like downloading music, cracking software or stealing content... it's against the law but fuck it, everyone else is doing it so that makes it right?

Exactly. Too many people point fingers and call others animals.

You are a fucking tool. I was going to say more, but I think this thread has lots of value as it certainly shows who here can not be trusted as far as they can be thrown.

How else are they going to be able to root for the Saints in comfort?

Atleast I have the balls to say what many think. I could careless if you dont trust me, if I'm not making money with you, fuck you.

Sit in your comfortable home tonight and just think for a moment what struggle is.

Your ignorance is amazing. You don't recognize sarcasm if it slapped you in the face. Thank you for showing your true colors.

Isn't ironic your nick is "davidd"?

I think your completely wrong - nothing justifies stealing gold / diamonds,
if people could get inside the bank vaults would that be ok also?
how about if you owned the businesses that where getting looted - still ok?
I suspect that your answers would be different if you where a business owner there now.

food, diapers for the kids, water - ok - I understand and I would go after these types of things if my kids where going hungry - but the other actions with people grinning ear to ear with handfuls of jeans, suits, electronics, jewelry, etc... doing this type of theft should be prosecuted - these people didnt even care about the cameras or try to hide their faces - I wish that the police keep the tapes of this and go back in a few months and start prosecuting the worst offenders - but I highly doubt anything would ever be done like this.

OMG :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

this is the second time in this thread i have needed to post this reply...

NO WHERE IN POTTERS POST DOES IT SAY IT'S OK TO STEAL ....

if you feel it's necessary to share with us your past hardships that is fine and i personally know how it feels to have nothing and have to work your ass off to be comfortable. But what Potter was saying is that in a time like this when people have lost children and families and have no shelter, is it right for us to sit here and pass judgement on a few people who have in the past few days given an entire city a bad rap. Instead of passing judgement on a few bad apples which are in any city, why not think about all the children and parents who are trying to survive the tragedy.

That's why jail populations are exactly proportionate in race as the real world. Get bent.

It looks like the only thing you know is your six figure income. New Orleans is the biggest port in the united states for oil. Obviously you know jackshit about the history of new orleans, so i'll let you sit back in your house and when a natural disaster happens i'll call you an animal :)

That's brilliant. Lots of insurance companies will already go bankrupt and not pay anyone shit so your looting from one store contributes to fucking hundreds or thousands of people. You really think shit through don't you.

Elli, I'm not sure you know how it works there. The people that are looting already have free or subsidised everything. Housing, food, clothes, medical care, etc. is all provided by the government. They aren't thinking about taking care of their families, they are thinking about buying rims for the car that insurance check buys. Nobody will be starving in New Orleans, there are more people helping with this effort than ever and they will be taken care of. The looters grabbing food will have it better for a few days while things get set up, the people grabbing 200 watches will be selling them drugs or nonessentials when this all blows over.

If the poor havent got what the rich have, to survive, to surstain life,
then loot, loot ,loot

Fuck if I was there right now I'd be looting shit too. First place I'd stop by? Gun store. Guns go for big bucks on the black market :pimp

Loot this script!

Trying to survive by looting the jewelry store?

That is why I just turned down an offer to do business with him. Can't be trusted. Too easy for him to try and justify dishonesty.

What's wrong with people is that they are human.

It's sad we won't be doing any business with each other. Simply because of my statements in this thread. Which did not justify dishonesty at all. They simply stated what would drive someone in their situation to do so. I clearly said I did not condone looting and stealing. I'm not exactly sure why you feel my statements and opinions make me untrustworthy. It's just a pity you do.

attitude reflects character

People are dying. People have lost their homes, their family, and their lives. I don't think anyone here sees the big picture. People are going to die because they are stranded without food, water, and medical supplies. I can't even imagine how terrible it must be for thousands of people alone in the dark right now. With water rising nearly ten inches an hour in some areas, which is filled with all sorts of toxins.

If someone in that current situation starts breaking into stores and stealing food, clothing, or maybe some jewelry. I'm not here to say if it's right or not. I'm not going to simply judge them with a fast and ignorant fist. As I've said numerous times already. My point was that none of you should have been so quick to pass judgment in the ways you have. There are people dying out there god dammit.

I'm so sick of the ignorant posts I see too often here on GFY. Too easily did everyone judge another human being in a terrible and horrific situation from the comforts of their home safe behind their computer. I just wanted people to stop and think for once. It would be nice if people saw the bigger picture for once and actually thought about all the lives destroyed by this mess.

every man for themselves

Food, water - ok.

TV's, beer, jewelry - not ok

I don't give a fuck how bad you have it, it does not give you carte blanche to initiate your own private anarchy.

Damn dude, these guys have only been in trouble for what, two days? What is it going to be like there after a week, a month, a year? And it will take that long, and longer before their lives are back to normal.

Your apparent feeling that this is okay tells me that you would not be beyond doing the same if you were in the same situation.

That in turn tells me that if some unforeseen, personal catastrophe came up, it would not be difficult for you to justify actions that might be contrary to my client's best interest, and thereby fucking me in the process.

Not a chance I can take. Nothing personal, but I am not doing business with anyone that might put me in that situation.

Good point

That video of the nigger police officers looting a Wal-Mart was a riot!

Big fat nigger carting out TVs, "I gotta eat."

Yeah. Big fat fuck like you eats TVs?

everybody needs to just relax and just accept the fact that the world is one big runaway train, were all on board, and the end of the tracks is in sight...so just relax, and try to enjoy whats left of the ride.

Come on now how many days notice did we have that this storm was coming?
One could have stored away canned food and bottled water to last for weeks. Im sure the redcross will be handing out supplies ASAP.
There is no real excuss for looting at this stage

All the rich people already got out and there are the poor ones left over. There are also people that have lived there for generations and won't give it up. Look at the people that would rather fight and die than leave the Gaza strip.

There are a ton of houses under water so having food supplies would be freaking pointless. Some people are taking food, water and dry clothes and I think that's ok but some are going to the extreme.

There are some exceptions like your house being flooded. :)

Wow, thread still going... I had a few things going on last night and wasn't able to respond.

Not sure if that negative attack was directed at me or what I said. Understand one thing, I stand by my comments and I don't give a FUCK what you or anyone here has to say! I speak my mind and I've always had!! Who are you to question my integrity?? Let me ask you again, Who the fuck are you?? You've got some fucking nerve! My point was and my point is, I can understand looting food and essentials because people have to eat! There's looting on both sides... black, white etc. There's major destruction in 3 or 4 states. There was a guy from Tulane who's stuck in a hotel (on vacation) and their talking about looting food because the hotel is running out of food.

I've lost alot of respect for people in this thread and other threads. I'm sure I don't do business with you and I don't plan on doing business with you. Even if I did, Would you think I would hide my comments for fear of not doing future business?? lol. I've said this before and I'll say it again... the ego's on here are out of control. I'm educated and I've done well in this biz, but I I can understand and symptheize (spelled wrong, don't care) about the unfortunate. I'm kind to my fellow man but not weak and I'm in no way scared to speak my mind :2 cents:

A cop doing it?....shit the fucker should get life sentence... :2 cents:

While this is sad lets face it most of them don't give a fuck about "getting food for their kids"...it seems some people want to think these guys come from Alice in Wonderland :disgust

DJ...that quote...although seriously racist...mad eme laugh so hard i almost spit my fucking coffee across th room!!! :1orglaugh

looting... and blacks wonder why they get treated like they do... shrug... cant we all just be civil, then get along?

Blacks looted for "survival"- what about LA? and cities after MLK riots?

Did they burn and loot those cities for surval?

I had a look at the insurance policy of a friend of mine with a cell phone store this morning just to be sure before I confirmed it... and I was right.

Retail insurance policies do NOT cover looting during emergencies.

Ignorant asswipe.

hahahahaha that sentence makes me laugh so hard, I almost pissed myself.

Check a Jewelers insurance policy. I know first hand.

Cock boy.

Damn, I have insurance for my place. I guess I better not let you in my house, you'll just feel free to steal things and figure, "Fuck him, he has insurance".

Actually.... come to think of it... please let me know if you, and members of your family have insurance also.... and where you all live. We will all know where to go to get free TVs and stereos.

Please provide the addresses so that we can loot your houses. After all, you have insurance right? C'mon, like you said... "cut the morals crap" :thumbsup




(P.S. Why don't you ask the jeweler you know if EVERY jewelry store insurance agency covers looting)

Looters Attempt To Break Into Children's Hospital

Where are the National Guards ?????

Oups, they are now none as the INTERnational guards !!!

you have a lot of poverty in those areas and so if there is no one protecting anything they are going to get what they can to survive

Why do threads like this always wind up as race threads. If the floods happened in any poor neighborhood, their would be looting. And there will likely be more looting in poor neighborhoods of all races than in affluent neighborhoods.

And it's always the minority of any given group, not the majority involved in these activities.

It's wrong no matter which way you look at it, but why inject race into it?

exactly. :2 cents:

...i read that correctly, right?

I'm pretty damn sure there are a few other races looting those stores too...asshole!

Considering there are more white people on welfare than any other race.

Mike Franklin stood on the trolley tracks and watched the spectacle unfold.

"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 crock of shit

dont know if anyone is offended .. but then again its gfy

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

I'd like to see the statistics of black vs white looters, I'd be willing to bet the whites would only make up a very small percentage.

The nigs just think its their right to loot at will.
