Hurricane Season 2005

[Cowdisease]

How long before we see "OWNED!" superimposed on the picture Perkyskirt posted?

And if you needed another reason to hate the Iraq War, it turns out that funds required to keep the levees functioning were significantly reduced to help pay for the Iraq war and Homeland Security.

That pic perkyskirt posted is insane...

Agree on all counts Dolemite. If whats going on in LA and NO is supposed to be "not the worst that could happen", I shudder to think of what could have happened. Its like fucking Rwanda there right now.

Shame, Ive wanted to go there for a long time.

The devastation down there especially upsets me, as I went to New Orleans on vacation a few years ago (I stayed in the French Quarter) and it really is an absolutely beautiful city, filled with rich architecture and history. The thought of all the (possibly permanent) damage being done, both by the flooding and the looters, is sickening.

The looting there is getting really bad now. I have read about looters carjacking, SHOOTING AT RESCUERS, and somebody was shooting at the military rescue helicopters. They had to evacuate a fully functional hospital because a gang of armed looters were trying to break in and steal shit. I have no faith in humanity sometimes, it's amazing how thin the threads of society really are. Those with enough energy to loot could be helping search and rescue personell find people and evacute themselves.

French Quarter is one of the few areas that didnt get wtfpwned. But, yeah, New Orleans is ruined for at least 5-8 years

Yeah, I read a news bit about them breaking into a nursing home and looting all of their food.

I saw that it was two different companies, but it still shows the perception that people have. How do they know that those people "found" that food? They "found" it in the same store that the black people were "looting" from, huh?

I'm the last person anyone would call racist, but there are TONS of videos of the looting playing on all the news channels and 99.9% of the looters in every single one of the videos is black. Not making any kind of blanket statement, just stating a simple fact.

Personally, I'm sure whites are looting too, it's just they're smart enough not to let someone video them doing it.

BTW, in a disaster situation, there's a difference between "finding" food and water and "finding" guns, sneakers, and diamond watches.

It's not only the fact that these pieces of shit are grabbing everything that isn't nailed down, it's the fact that they're so fucking arrogant, brash and even PROUD about looting. They're being videotaped doing it, not caring or bothering to hide their faces, even to the point that most of them smile into the camera lens. They don't run, they saunter around with their plunder, walking casually like they're not even doing anything wrong.

I swear, they should just pull out all the cops and rescue workers and then pump a few million volts into the water and fry everyone, as whoever's left in New Orleans at this point has no business being there.

They're fucking breaking into flooded houses, climbing over dead bodies, and taking their shit too. Amazing.

I blame ebay.

I blame the the poverity of the south. The south has some of the shitties hateful poor people in the U.S.

"OMG, lets takes some shit, its owed to us"

Did you see the one where they looted a fat black woman who lived in one of those old 80's model house trailers? That was just fucking sad. The woman lived in a shitty old trailer and they had the balls to take her tv and clothes. That TV, next to her fridge, was probably her best friend.

still don't see any natural disasters in any of the Blue States

Being a blue state is a natural disaster in and of it's self.

I still don't have power if anyone wants to feel sorry for me.

Are they at least letting you guys get out of going to school?

You're right...why, just look at this quote from one of the looters:

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

[perkyskirt]

The retard jesus-fest woman i work with says that this happened because of the massive amount of sinning that goes on in the area, mentioning Mardi Gras. She says "Its just like the great flood in the Old Testament!" "A cleansing of the sinful land!" She was talking to a customer so I didn't say anything, but she went on to say that "We had better begin praying for mercy because we have Mardi Gras here too, you know." The things that come out of this woman's mouth sometimes just blow my mind. I was fucking speechless. Also, on the way to my moms house yesterday I saw a church sign that said


wtf, people are so goddamn dumb
