Why do you think people are looting and shooting each other now? - GoFuckYourself.com

BoNgHiTtA · 09-01-2005, 12:26 PM

All racism aside, why do you think people are acting like this at this point? At what point in our society did culture change from basic helping of people to doing things like shooting helicopters and killing others who are trying to help?

I honestly think we have created a more violent culture from our media. The news, TV shows, movies, all portray its ok to shoot other people. Seeing killing on TV over and over in real like dramatic situations makes the act surreal or almost glorified.

Don't blame the media. Blame the people that are doing it. It's just fucking stupid. What the fuck are they going to do with a tv? Where are they going to plug it in.

As a black man who was born in New Orleans I can honestly only say this. The media can only get what you give them, NO EXCUSES. These people were a minority that unfortunately always spoke louder and got more attention than the majority of people in New Orleans, even worst now is that they are the majority of people left in the city out in the open, blatantly showing off the fact that they are running things.

The fact that some are using this as an opprotunity to loot, not survive but loot shows the lack of being in touch with reality. They lack the intelligence to know that there will not be a return to normalicy anytime this year. At times of great stress the carnality of man is shown, this is in any race of man black, white or otherwise, now you see it. Water and juices were long since depleted from the stores by those with money enough to buy it, alchahol in non college areas was prevelant as most did not buy it, this explains the large amounts of alchahol you see being taken as well as the obvious lifestyle of the poor on average. The clothing you see being taken does have its survival role, being in wet ecoli covered clothing is a major health risk and there is no power or water pressure to run washing machines, changes of clothers are a necessity but I agree getting closer to the line. Battery operated electronics are likewise a need, large televisions on the otherhand we all know is opertunistic bullshit.

A person who had the mentality of one who will prey upon the weaker or one who will take advantage of a situation is based upon socio economics which of course run a thin line with race. New Orleans has always been a place of self indulgent carnality, this is why Mardi Gras or Carnival base word being carni or carnal has been popular. With great power comes great responsibility and there will be people clammoring for leadership power much like some post appocalyptic movie

Those that were left in the city, mostly those living in governmental housing or projects have nothing to lose at this point, they are now the majority and in power, their agenda will be carried out, they are now unchecked by western society, plain and simple.

The reason they are taking larger electronics is because they have family members and places they can go in places such as Baton Rouge where New Orleans is being displaced to. As much as I see flak about it coming from the boards, how many people are going to be looking on ebay for stolen items and buying them now?

Many I'm sure.

BoNgHiTtA · 09-01-2005, 12:59 PM

Yeah, I can agree with you Jade. We are looking at those that didn't have the resources to leave ahead of time. With nothing left, and nothing to lose, taking items seems to be the right way to them to make up for the losses.

But then it doesn't explain why people would shoot at rescue workers. I am sure this is a very small minority of people, probably a handfull. But what makes them decide that they shouldn't help or try to help others. Are they really under the belief they can now rule NO? I don't know, I am having trouble understanding what would make a person treat another person in that manner. But then I have never been in a situation like this, nor have I never not had enough to take care of myself.

assmunk · 09-01-2005, 01:09 PM

1. They're looting because THEY CAN

2. They're shooting at each other because they're frustrated cuz they can't plug in the TVs they looted anywhere....

New Orleans was for many years the murder capital of the world, some people, usually the poor and ignorant actually took this and ran with it making the city a war zone, mostly rival gangs and projects getting together and having their own little wars upping the totals and rep of certain hoods such as the Magnolia ('nolia) Melphomine ('melph) Caliope, Fisher Pride, Marry Poppins, and the now famous Iberville which you have all seen the citizens of running around the city. This began in the late 80's and reached its peak in the mid 90's, it was then that sherrif Foti of Orleans and Sherrif Harry Lee of Jefferson Parish along with Mark Morial came in and got really tough on the situation, now I believe DC has the title.

Their mental state is not logically explainable by myself or anyone else. They revel in their lifestyle, they do very little to band together to change it, unfortunately every black person, especially males pay for their sins. As close as I can get it to make sense is that you have people who will equate to warlords trying to prove themselves the strongest and attain power in their turf.

Because they can.

You were expected a deep philosophical answer?

The truth is that humans can very quickly degenerate to animal-like behaviour in extreme situations, just think of what the world (not just America) would be like if there was no law, police or military?

The Stickman · 09-01-2005, 01:35 PM

Jade... you are very well spoken! I respect what you have said thus far as well.

However, these people are human beings like you and me and it has been THEIR decision to loot, rape and shoot. Plain and simple: It's morally incorrect! I dont care what family, religion, race or group you come from. If they didn't do this last week why now? Becasue they can? They are acting like abrupt children. As well, unfortunately they are now living up to their stereotypes as the world sees them and it's also directly affecting the entire US and how the world is now viewing everyone. They think of nobody but themselves and should be treated with the same immoral capacity that they have shown to all of us.

The individuals that are involved in these crimimnal acts are not human beings -- they are animals and should be treated as such.

- Looting
- Raping
- Shooting Guns

This is not a War Of The Worlds. This is real life! Why engage in criminal acts...becasue you can? If this is the mentality of the people breeding in New Orleans, then maybe this is a sign from God thats its time to rid the world of these inhumane people.

It's a very sad day in the USA!
