STEALING OR SURVIVING????
|
Posted By: Sherita Mayes on September 01, 2005 I LOOK AT THE NEWS AND I SEE THE MAYOR AND GOVERNOR OF NEW ORLEANS AND LOUISIANA SAYING THAT THEY ARE NOT GOING TO TOLERATE "CRIMINALS" OR "THEIVES" LOOTING THE STORES.... WELL I TOTALLY DISAGREE WITH THEM. THOSE PEOPLE HAD NOT CLEAN WATER, NO FOOD, NO TOILETRIES, NOTHING!!!!!!!! I DON'T CALL IT STEALING, I CALL IT SURVIVAL. THOSE PEOPLE ARE TIRED, SICK, AND HUNGRY.

I thought the same exact thing, i mean are they gonna sell it to them they have no money no nothing. Now what is scary is the shooting in the crowds, the rapes, and people stealing from each other. If I were in that situation i probably lose my mind but at a time like that why hurt each other

I was just talking about this. .. I feel the same way. Now people thats goin and stealing TV's and other frivolous Bullcrap they have no sense at all. What the hell you gonna do with a damn TV at this moment. If that junk dont turn into a boat and propel me outta there I dont want it. I Mean I understand tempers are flaring people are delirious and devestated but it aint no need to go shootin up people and losing more lives. Its just a crazy situation man.. my heart goes out to those people over there especially my freshmen borthers and sisters who have family over there and havent spoken with them yet.

Those same people that are stealing are growing bolder and robbing others, and committing criminal acts against others. Great post sis, appreciate to see your concerns and good heart. Keep that gift for that is priceless. I don't dispute with you, I just offer another side. "God" Bless Sincerely William. p.s. Great point you make in boldness Ms. Alise.

I think that it is total BS. What else should they do, damn they are "STRANDED". ** YOU GOTTA EAT TO LIVE** And the news programs are getting on my nerves, yeah I will shoot at a helicopter too if I am stranded, dying and they won't come and get me, looking at me and my family like we are in a cage. My thoughts are that the people who are STILL in the F%*$ed up situation should do WHATEVER it takes to survive, be it stealing/ looting or whatever the News want to call it. Right now, it has become the "SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST". We should just continue to pray and ask GOD to watch over them and give them the piece of mind that everything will be alright.
