Officials Helpless Against Looters
And what a crock of absolute shite this is. It's becoming more and more clear that a certain percentage of folks stayed in New Orleans to ransack and rape the city once the police had other things on their minds, and that the Mayor and Governor were clueless dupes who didn't plan for this at all. In case they hadn't noticed, parts of Mississippi got hit harder than New Orleans and so far there has not been the widescale looting going on, which tells us one or a combination of two things:
Mississippi's law enforcement is doing one heck of a professional job in controlling THEIR animals, or New Orleans has a hell of a lot MORE animals.
They decided to stay, and let's face it, if the levies hadn't broken all we'd be talking about was a few inches of rain since the Hurricane was no where's near as powerful as the media was pounding into our heads, so kudo's Engineers for doing such crappy work, and most of them wanted to feast upon the riches they KNEW would be theirs for the plucking. Animals can smell blood from miles away and this one was a no-brainer.
Remain and take your chances with the rising waters in order to make a small fortune stealing everything from bottled water to televisions to jewelry. And now we're supposed to feel sorrow and pity for the one's not as fleet of foot or fluent with their backstroke. For the genuinely disadvantaged who simply made the wrong decision and were overcome by this disaster, my heart goes out to you and your families.
For others who are bucking tidal waters as they try and make it to higher ground, my advice is drop the widescreen sucker, that might help.
