Sorry rant just getting going.....
The fricking criminals. And don't tell me these are just desperate "good people". The guys that went out ARMED, looking to take what they wanted are crooks. They have moved into the dry homes of those who evacuated and rationalize it as ok becuase they didnt' or couldn't get out. Instead of joining the 15,000 refugees in the Dome, they just kicked in a few doors and windows and made the best they could out of it. And I agree. I can empathize the looting of the food mart, but TV's, shoes, etc. Come ON. CROOKS!!! And they're shooting at the police while they loot. These aren't good people. they are opportunists. And they will be the ones claiming police brutality and inhuman treatment if the Military come sin to clean them out, which they will soon.
While good people were boarding up their homes and heading out, these scumbags were looking where they were going to strike first when all hell broke loose. And when it did, they went straight to the gunshops and loaded up, literally.
I for one will be thrilled to see the Air Cav show up in attack helicopters and "dispurse the crowds". They should put New Orleans under marshall law, let the Mil take control, get ALL the people out of there, for their own good, reestablish control and then decide if it is worth saving.
Maybe a NEW New Orleans a little higher above sea level should be considered. Let nature reclaim the swamp. It was there first.
I'm done.
