SHOOT THE LOOTERS!

New Orleans
 
As of today, the day after one of the world's most horrifying hurricanes, the city of New Orleans, Louisiana has ceased to exist. The floods are the worst in US History. The waters have risen and are still rising and millions throughout Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama are without homes. Those who managed to escape New Orleans cannot come back into the city and return to their homes which most are under water. Those who decided to remain in New Orleans were forced into their attics and some were being rescued by rescue teams who had to cut holes in their roofs. Others were swept away into the water.
 
The Mayor of New Orleans flew over the city today and described so many bodies that are floating in the water he could not count them. The mayor said there is no running water, no electricity, no sanitary facilities as sewage is dumping into the waters that have flooded the city, no gas, no phones, no cell phones and he added that only one local radio station is working. Some homes have burst into flames and there is no way to get to them to put them out. The Mayor says school won't start again for at least three months and hundreds and maybe even thousands are feared dead. The flood waters continue to rise. New Orleans, Mississippi and Alabama needs your prayers!

Through all of this, I was angered today as I watched Fox News coverage of hoards of street thug mobs looting the entire city, carrying off bags and shopping carts full of items they have ripped off from stores and people's homes. At a Walgreen's drug store in the French Quarter, people were running out with grocery baskets and coolers full of soft drinks, chips and diapers. The looters were so bold that they smiled before the cameras not trying to hide anything. There are no jail facilities and they know it, so they are running rampant through the city helping themselves to everything they can grab. The Associated Press reports that Denise Bollinger, a tourist from Philadelphia, stood outside and snapped pictures in amazement.

"It's downtown Baghdad," the housewife said. "It's insane. I've wanted to come here for 10 years. I thought this was a sophisticated city. I guess not."

Around the corner on Canal Street, the main thoroughfare in the central business district, people sloshed headlong through hip-deep water as looters ripped open the steel gates on the front of several clothing and jewelry stores.

One man, who had about 10 pairs of jeans draped over his left arm, was asked if he was salvaging things from his store.

"No," the man shouted, "that's EVERYBODY'S store."

Looters filled industrial-sized garbage cans with clothing and jewelry and floated them down the street on bits of plywood and insulation as National Guard lumbered by.

Mike Franklin stood on the trolley tracks and watched the spectacle unfold.

"To be honest with you, people who are oppressed all their lives, man, it's an opportunity to get back at society," he said.

Well that is a typical liberal answer! My reply to that is HOGWASH! These are lazy shiftless criminals who are welfare leeches who suck the life out of the system because they are non-productive members of society. They are opportunists who have waited for a chance such as this to rip off decent hard working Americans. They are too lazy to earn a living so they take from those who are suffering from this tragedy and it takes one of the lowest forms of humanity to do such a dastardly deed. There are those that say that taking food is justified even if you are a Christian, because you are trapped and you and your kids are starving, and that food is going to spoil anyway or go to waste. Helping yourself to food that is going to spoil when you are trapped in a place like this and your kids are starving is one thing, but when some welfare crack mother is carrying off a stereo out of a store, well, that is not exactly feeding your family now is it?

The oil companies are no better then the filthy animals that are looting the disadvantaged because they have used this tragedy as an excuse to further hike up the gas prices to $3.00 per gallon, when they know good and well that we have plenty of reserves and there was no reason to raise the prices.

I think of all those poor helpless old people that are trapped in their stores and homes. They are powerless as mobs of rapping gangstas and drugged out hippies invade their homes and carry off everything they have worked all of their lives to get. I think of all those businesses that are not only destroyed by the flood but what goods and services that was needed are being carried off by smiling thugs, street criminals, welfare mothers and crack addicts.

Therefore, since there are no jails, not courts and there are not enough police to catch them because they are too busy rescuing people, I have the only solution. When thugs break into your home or business and help themselves to your possessions, ..."Shoot and Shoot To Kill!" I pray President Bush orders the military into that region with orders to shoot all looters. I also hope some armed citizens have had enough and take care of the problem, "Southern Style!"

That is justice!
