New Orleans: What an embarassment

[Johnny Richter]

You have no electricity whatsoever, what the hell do you need the tv dvd combo for? Diapers maybe, the sony 400$ dvd player? not so much.....

And what about the resident that lost his house and now his small local electronic store that he's owned and operated for 20+ years is having everything taken from it? Why should he get double punished?

I'm not saying you do need a DVD. Sure the looter is a scumbag - I'm sure scumbags profit out of every natural disaster. But IMHO the outrage should be focused on why after five days people don't have food, clean water and shelter, instead of the fact that a some looters have made out on DVD players.

Of course scumbags profit from disaster. Especially the ones that set up the fake "send your money here to help" funds then run off with the cash.

The news is only going to report on what makes the better story, so their going to make the focus on the looters.
