Looters!

[pushpills]

With 25 billion in damages, its no surprise some poor mcdonalds worker wouldn't think twice about grabbing a drill, sledge hammer and a bookbag and looking for some atm machines, who's owners will be repaid by insurance companies. When your poor and you've got nothing and the town is now available for a free shopping spree....how many of em are going to resist?

Easy to look down on em, probably not as easy to actually be them their whole lives.


Now a middle class person looting should deffinately be shot at close range!

Fuck, I have been poor in my life... I didn´t go on a rampage and pillaged every town on my way, because I didn´t have lots of money.

Should we blame their actions on society - are they really just a pack of hyenas... who fucking cares what their reasons are for stealing! These people are not 10 year olds, and their actions can not be excused by youthful ignorance or human desperation. They are taking calculated advantage of a human tragedy - a bunch of fucking wankers, who will never escape poverty, because their mind-set is locked in their own thieving self-righteousness.

I was going to button my lip on this because of the way it's being covered on the news here. It would seem the National Guard are getting kitchens organised and water can be collected from certain areas... but I know that because I've got electricity and a working TV!

That doesn't mean it's happening though.



Still… you can't eat or drink jewels or stereos....

you would have gotten arrested. these folk don't have to worry about that now. I'm not saying they should do it or that I would, but if you work at mcdonalds and barely make a living wage, and can now go out and grab a buncha high end clothes and stuff without getting arrested, and rationalizing that its just another couple bucks for the insurance company out of 25 billion....who's not gonna say fuck it,this is the only way I can get something extra for myself and my family.

So you think people don't steal solely because of the fear of getting caught?

well of course not soley, people have morals. I'm saying these people DO steal because of the lack of fear of getting caught, and these in particular have yet to be able to get ahead in life. Alot of people will comprimise some morals to get something extra if they don't fear reprecutions.

Well, they would have to catch me first ;-)) ... but yes, I do understand what you are trying to say - however I disagree that it is "normal" or "understandable" human nature to go looting goods at the first sight of problems.

The looters would not survive 5 minutes, if there were real anarchy - they are taking advantage of a situation, where "normal" people are working on solving much more important issues - and that is why the looters reaction is not normal. Human nature is survilve first - not jewelry, dvd players etc.

This disussion is deep.

I still wish it were about "Hooters!"

Totally agree. I mean, these people definitely have NOT had the same opportunities as everyone else. To hell with that whole "do for myself or noone will" theory...it's bull. :rollseyes

Sorry, everyone DOES have the same opportunities in life. People use that whole underpriveledged shit as a crutch and nothing more. Same with the whole reparations shit. We can't figure out a way to make it on our own..so let's make up some shit where we can get paid for something that happened 200 years ago. Bah...

I got no pity for those fucks. I was raised on the poor side of the tracks just like many here at Oprano I am sure...

You either make the decision to do for yourself...or you leech.

Those people looting are animals and are not the same breed of human as I am. I say that with no regrets. "Boohoo....I only work at McDonalds...BooHoo...I live in the projects...but YAY I have $3000 rims on my Escalade..."

Yeah.

hahaha, I have to say, the cop in my thinks this thread and some of the posts are quite hillarious, as a person though I think its just sad.
Humans will be humans, but I believe people that loot during a disaster should, and will rot in Hell. There is such a thing as Red Cross in place to give aid to people who have lost everything, oh but then how would they impress thier friends after normalcy is restored?

Seems no one in NO will get the Police involved.

I dunno, last time I was at a Mcdonalds the guy who served me seemed pretty limited in his ability to "make it". When you're too dumb to know that "only onions" doesn't mean "extra catchup, no onions", odds are your not going to be able to get your own successful business going and be able to afford that plasma tv. Alot of people are just far too dumb to make anything on there own.

Its not like these looter idiots will be able to take all their steroes and TV's that they stoled with them when they get rescued and evacuated anyway. I read they cant even bring their pets. And the stuff would probably just get destroyed in the mess if it was just left in the flooded stores anyway.
