Newarcher Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 Re: Shooting down their rescuers... Scum of the earth...most people who have stayed around knew that post-Katrina, it would be a free for all. Hence the looting of alcohol, stereos, etc. while food rots on the shelves. Nature's vaccuum cleaner obviously missed some dirt. New Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] Don't forget pawn shops getting looted for guns,as well as stores like Wal-Mart, I've seen news reports of people taking food, I can go along with that, but I saw a clip of two women in a Wal-Mart pushing a cart piled up taller than they were trying to push it through the store, FULL OF JUNK, other pics of people with racks of football jerseys and boxes of Nike's.

AdvantageTimberLou Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 Re: Shooting down their rescuers... Sad to see humanity acting this way and blaming the rescuers. It's not for lack of effort, this was a major, major catastrophe, give these people some credit, they are trying their best. Help is on its way every day. The looting is unbeleivable, cannot beleive the chaos some are causing. May god look over these people and try to make their lives easier some way.

buckbuster11 Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 Re: Shooting down their rescuers... Unbelieveable, I can see people taking food and/or drink for survival, which I'm sure some people have had to do, but all these shots of people hauling clothes, shoes, CD's and whatever else by the shopping cart full is ridiculous. They really should shoot back, they dont have time to be messing around with those idiots who think they are going to take over the city. They need to get the sick and wounded out of there asap.

hutchies Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 Re: Shooting down their rescuers... The problem is that most of the people that are doing this have nothing to loose so it does not matter to them because they have everything to gain. Poverty stricken people love these kind of scenarios because they can steal all they want and the cops can't arrest them because they have nowhere to detain them at.

clayman Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 Re: Shooting down their rescuers... It may be extreme, but it certainly would be warranted in this situation... Martial law is the system of rules that takes effect (usually after a formal declaration) when a military authority takes control of the normal administration of justice (and usually of the whole state). Martial law is instituted most often when it becomes necessary to favor the activity of military authorities and organizations, usually for urgent unforeseen needs, and when the normal institutions of justice either cannot function or could be deemed too slow or too weak for the new situation; e.g., due to war, major natural disaster, civil disorder, in occupied territory, or after a coup d'état. The need to preserve the public order during an emergency is the essential goal of martial law. However, declaration of martial law is also sometimes used by dictatorships, especially military dictatorships, to enforce their rule. Usually martial law reduces some of the personal rights ordinarily granted to the citizen, limits the length of the trial processes, and prescribes more severe penalties than ordinary law. In many countries martial law prescribes the death penalty for certain crimes, even if ordinary law doesn't contain that crime or punishment in its system. In many countries martial law imposes particular rules, one of which is curfew. Often, under this system, the administration of justice is left to military tribunals, called courts-martial. The suspension of the writ of habeas corpus is likely to occur. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdvantageTimberLou Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 Re: Shooting down their rescuers... Hutchies, You are true my friend, poverty stricken will act this way as they have nothing left to lose and everything to gain. Seeing the small kids gets to me as i have a 1 year old and to hear they haven eaten makes me feel sad for these people. Even images as simple as a dog all wet sitting up on a roof all alone. Truly a sad time in America, basically a town was wiped off the map. Hope the rebuilding goes fast and people can get back to a normal life but something tells me life down there will never be the same!

billygoat Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 Re: Shooting down their rescuers... I just don't get some people??? So they stick around (and granted, some of them didn't have the financial means to leave), then they go rob the stores (because the police tell them it's ok (the police are only looking for the murders)... so the police let them take a gun and tell them, well if your alive in a month, we will come looking for you... after you kill someone (because that's a bigger crime than stealing the gun)... then they go out and start shooting at the people trying to rescue them... UGHHH! What has our society come to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] I honestly do not believe that I would move back to a town that is below sea level. They knew that this was bound to happen ONE DAY. Levees were breached and pumps failed. Now thousands of people are homeless and doesn't look like they'll be able to live there again for a long time. Here's a good question...now that New Orleans is a "toilet-bowl" ......after they fix the pumps, just where are they going to pump all that nasty water???????

Newarcher Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 Re: Shooting down their rescuers...

elkoholic Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 Re: Shooting down their rescuers... One thing is a given, most (meaning greater than 50%) people will break the law if the chance of being caught or of being charged with a crime is basically nonexistent. My answer is to take the hard line and shoot the worthless scum and let their carcasses float around with the rest of the garbage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruttinbuc Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 Re: Shooting down their rescuers... Some very innocent people died in this catastrophe. Some very innocent law abiding, god fearing people! Some very innocent people whose legacy will be that they died in the worst natural disaster that this country has ever seen. Some very innocent people are down there risking life and limb to try and save who and what they can. Some very innocent people are working through the most exasperating experience they will probably ever face. Utter CHAOS and yet these very innocent people are trying for humanity itself. What are these scum doing? Why would anyone one allow this to go on. What type of people are they going to be when it is all said and done? They are still going to try and make victims of some very innocent people. They will still be the scum of the earth. Society will still have to pay the price for their acts in the future. Someone made the statement of what would you do if the shoe was on the other foot. If I were acting like these scum I'd expect to be shot!
