Scum like to take advantage

[amsterdam]

well if u were starving and/or you saw ur kids begging for food and u have nothing to feed them and yourself with would u break into grocery stores??....im sure as fuck i would

and like the govenor of the state has already said,people taking food and water,things to help them stay alive,will not be prosecuted,however,the people taking flat screens and guns will be shot.

I'm sorry. This isn't comparable to any natural disaster to any modern day warrior, mean, mean, stride...sorry...you can't even begin to think what you would do if the city/town you live in became up to 20 feet underwater in some parts.

well, if they didnt do it some1 else would
id steal from shops if something like that happened.. everyone would, they'd get it back from insurance anyway
also i think that ak is quite nice

You certainly dont speak for everyone.
Using the rational that if you didnt do it someone else would as being legitimate justification for unnecessary stealing is just plain silly man.
This is a time for people to pull together and help each other not take advantage of each other. Peoples private homes are being attacked and looted. How is that justified in any sense? They are all victims however some choose to victimise others in the same dire straits.
And guess who pays for the insurance companies to reimburse all the business owners who lost their stock? Yup, the taxpayer.
Its not a victimless crime. Its despicable. They are parasites

I would definately steal food, clothing, medication, etc, from shops. No questions about it. And even though I despise guns, if I had to protect my family also, I would steal a gun or two.

But yeah, stealing TVs and such is stupid. But how do you know what you would do in that situation? I don't know how I would act.. I like to think I wouldn't stoop that low, but if I honestly thought that I needed this stuff to survive (to trade for food, shelter, whatever) then maybe I would steal that stuff too. I dunno. I honestly don't think we should be judging these people when we don't know what they're going through. We only know what we see on TV in the comfort of our nice warm living rooms.

[tokosan]

stealing supplies and perhaps some other loot, maybe some electronics, some stuff, well that's to be expected.... But under no circumstance would I be riding with my homies in a stolen FedEx van, holding AK47s and shooting at people. This is what I mean by "scum like to take advantage"

They think this means they own the whole city.

People being evacuated from a hospitol, ambulance crews take sniper fire.

Wtf??

[GHoSToKeR]

Yeah, what was with that? Why were they firing on ambulance crews and stuff?

[tokosan]

fight the power i guess.

they should have had an entire brigade of regular army ready to move in immediately. Mandatory evacuation orders, with easy buses and free meals and temporary lodging.

No, instead we realize that the gov't is almost entirely incompetent, and is unable to even get otu the simple message "GTFO"

the us gov't is a greedy child with no common sense



oh yeah, and isnt it great that they will be moved into "tent cities" ummmmmmm. weren't we closing shitloads of military bases all over the country? Shit, put them in barracks! beds, food, roof, running water. plenty of barracks and recreation facilities. Stupid, innefective politians.
