That's bullshit Ian.
Half of the people in New Orleans stayed for the strict reason to loot. Cops have already been killed. Rescue efforts have been halted for the sheer fear of being shot and killed.
You have no fucking clue about what is going on here.

But thanks for sharing your own ignorant opinion.

Right. They stayed to loot. Maybe next time you won't forget that 28% of that city was living under the poverty line.

The looters aren't predominantly black because black people love to loot (though some in louisiana would argue otherwise). They stayed because they lived on monthly checks from month to month, and Katrina struck at the end of that cycle. So, super poor people aren't really capable of getting the fuck out of dodge as well as, say, people who still have electricity and internet access. But anyway, last time I checked, really really old, poor people didn't want to hang out and loot. Neither did women with 5 or 6 kids. But hey, I just have an ignorant opinion on the government establishing marshal law and publicly threatening to kill citizens with their own army. Right on.

It's neither the elderly nor the women with children who are killing cops in New Orleans, hijacking cars in Baton Rouge, or breaking into apartment in Lafayette. And these are those who were evacuated.

I understand the poverty in New Orleans, like I said, I'm from Louisiana.

But it's time that order is restored.
