i'm not going to comment too much, because my comments would turn racist... but let's just say I'm not surprised at what's going on when you look at the neighborhood. IMO, if they were dumb enough to not get out well in advance, then they deserve whatever problems they receive. **** happens, something more important is how much money I'm paying at the pump. For god sakes, open the Alaskan oil reserves. :banghead:

I think a few AH-64 gunships and some main battle tanks could do wonders for stopping the looting.

Its deffinatly a double edged sword. sure they should have gotten out of there with the ammount of waring they had but for those who for some reason didn't or couldn't, like people in triage who are now dying. You also have to look at how well the government didn't handle this. It looks as if the government and our stellar president figured warning everyone before hand was more than enough, well it obviously wasn't. i think a lot of blame falls on the higher ups. but it also falls on the desperate to live. its a terrible situation, a large problem and theres really no easy way out of it, sure it could have been handled a little better as far as aftermath. but desperate people will do desperate things, like steal food and water. there is however no excuse to loot clothes stores and S**t like that, its unnecessary. but they deffinatly don't deserve to die.
