Katrina looters.

Oh man, have you read some of the info about the looting? Jesus...


Well last night I was watching the 6pm news when they announced the 17th street canal pumps failed as well as another break in the levee. My house is right off St. Charles Ave. and up to 6pm yesterday is was the only part of the city that was dry. Since the pumps failed and the new break St. Charles Ave. would be under 9ft of water in the next 12-15hrs. My brother and I felt if we wanted to save anything we had to leave NOW. We loaded up flashlights, rope, our medical ID's, both our .45 Glocks, 2 shotguns and rode out. En-route we listened to the radio which broad casted all the news about the looters and what not, in hindsight it was a mistake. My mother didn't want us to go by dad who is a Vietnam vet told to be safe and "shoot to kill" if it ever comes to that.

One the way we had to pass 5-6 checkpoints to allow entry into the city. We stated we were medical personnel who were activated, showed our ID and off we went. On the radio reports were coming in about the officer who was shot in the head, the 2 gunman who opened fired on the NOPD station, and how looters were carjacking cars to get out of the city. This started making my brother nervous and giving seconds thoughts.

Anyway we get to the city and it looks like a freaking war zone. The best visual I can give is the movie "Blackhawk Down" when all the Somalians are rushing the city. They are people EVERYWHERE, they are pissed off, and all have weapons, 2X4's, Axes, and guns. If this wasn't bad enough we are 2 white boys in a truck in a sea several hundred armed pissed off blacks. There wasn't a white person to be found. I couldn't get over the little 8-10yr old kids with weapons, I ever saw one carry a claw hammer!

These people were absolutely nuts rammed trucks(stolen I'm sure) in to jewelry stores stealing items, they were tearing apart Wal-Mart carrying out TV's, Playstations, DVD players, etc. One lady was wheeling out an entire rack of merchandise, not sure what it was but sure wasn't clothes for food. They were all laughing and carrying on like it's freaking Christmas.

We got stuck in traffic when we see the group of guys walking down the street w/ AK-47's, at that point the "pucker factor" kicked in, a couple Glocks and shotguns were no match for that. We haul azz trying to get to Uptown when we see these people chopping down the front door w/ an axe of this $4-5 million dollar mansion on ST. Charles Ave. I was just in total awe because it was so surreal. Making matters worse it's 11pm at night there is no electricity and you really can see anything or anyone until they are right up on you.

Our plan was to be in and out in 30min, this included putting his Harley on the trailer. It would have taken me 5-10min tops to get my stuff, all I wanted was my pictures from college, my clothes/shoes, and my computer tower. Well he got scared saying we are going to get jumped while putting the bike on the trailer. Keep in mind this is the only area in the city that is dry. So just like rats who move to higher ground these people were doing the same. Word must have gotten out that Uptown was dry so there started to be a large influx of people.

Needless to say he wanted to go home rather than take our chances. While it was the smart thing to do I was beyond infuriated w/ him because we made it this far. He just kept saying our lives aren't worth it. So we turned around, our next challenge was getting out of the city while not getting jacked. Reports came out that people were jumping in the back of truck holding the drivers at gunpoint. Traffic started to slow so I just nailed it got out as fast as I could.

Even though he was the voice of reason I'm still pissed. All I have is my life and the clothes on my back. I lost my house(which is now 9ft underwater) ALL my clothes, TV, computer, furniture, and photo albums and videos from childhood and college. What makes this worse is my brother owned the house and I was a tenant and I didn't have renters insurance, hindsight is 20/20.

I also hope everyone of the ****ing looters get Tetanus, E-Coli and F*(KING drown. I'm serious I really hope the all die for what they were doing to the city, killing people, and destroying homes. Never in my life have I ever seen people act live savages, it was truly sicking.


Holy damn.

[kockblocker1]

Thats crazy man. Glad I'm not there.

They already talking like they aren't even going to repair the city cause it wasn't worth it.

[!King_Amazon!]

Good thing it wasn't mardi gras time. There would be a huge problem then.

[Kaneda]

Good thing it wasn't mardi gras time. There would be a huge problem then.
I think you mean.
To bad it wasn't mardi gras time. There would be a huge cleansing of human trash.

... Kaneda you fucking racist, you think it's funny to throw out racial slurs on these forums? I haven't been here wrong, but it's clear you don't like black people. If so, keep it to yourself.

[!King_Amazon!]

Yes, that was very clearly a racial joke...since apparently only black people go to mardi gras.

[kockblocker1]

If they do then it sure doesn't show on all those Girls Gone Wild movies.

[Adrenachrome]

Hahaha

I hope they don't repair it... the houses will be totaled by the time the water is pumped out... they can take a week or two, but not a month or two...

A week or two means sheetrock and fibreglass damage... a month or two means foundation and structural wood damage...

[!King_Amazon!]

Is chrome headed to new orleans sometime soon eh?

[Adrenachrome]

I think so.. I havent recieved official word as of yet...

[Medieval Bob]

You think wooden beams of a house can survive 3 weeks of submersion?

[Adrenachrome]

I know they can.. but not much more than a month...


Well it's like this..

If a house here was flooded for a couple weeks, I'd charge them to replace almost everything..

But on that scale.. I think at three weeks the structure would be 'good enough' by some standards... and I'm sure by some they would be ruined.

It really depends on the particular engineers that inspect them...

But IMPO the wood.. would hold just fine.

[kockblocker1]

Reminds me of a bit Carlos Mencia did about Tornado Alley.

I would do everything I could to get out of that place and stay out. Fuck rebuilding in my opinion.

[Medieval Bob]

I've heard a few different sources predict that if they can get that canal patched the pumping will only take a month for lots of the area.

[Kaneda]

...Kaneda you fucking racist, you think it's funny to throw out racial slurs on these forums? I haven't been here wrong, but it's clear you don't like black people. If so, keep it to yourself.

Am I the only one who sees something wrong w/ this? I thought you said you were a minority in the minority... as in smart? Your the one who said niggers are thieves. There is nothing in my post that states anything about anybodys races. I hate all of humanity in general. Please quite yourself before saying anything more foolish.

[Sovereign]

Yes Kaneda. Listen to d3v. He'd know.

[Sum Yung Guy]

Lets get this back on topic, if you guys want to bicker goto the flame forum.

Are any of the Zelaron members in Katrinas area? Id like to know if everyone is alright.

[Penny_Bags]

Hmmm.... I think Afro man said the stupidest shit ever this thread.

[HandOfHeaven]

Excellent deduction. Want a party sub for that?

[Lenny]

It seems likely. The usual crew are posting left, right and centre, and it doesn't look as if one of the regulars isn't posting. You can always check people's profile's to see where they live if they haven't been on for a couple of days.

The usual crew are posting left, right and centre

Saying that there may be people in the other forums like the Dragoon Elite and D2 that quite a few of us don't know, so it's hard to tell.

[undeadzombieguy]

They need batman.

[Mantralord]

I'd loot myself a Geforce 7800GTX. NEWEGG ROCKS!!!!!!!!

[Hades-Knight]

Seriously........if I had the chance to be there I'd be looting bestbuy and shit.......man I'd be so happy....the issue would be getting out of there wih all the shit, but I'd manage somehow...........or bury the loot and come back for it when everythings settled down

[Grav]

I'd loot myself a Geforce 7800GTX. NEWEGG ROCKS!!!!!!!!
Nobody got this except me. :(

AND I GOT IT 2 DAYS BEFORE THE FRIDAY I ORDERED IT, ON CHRISTMAS, IN THE MIDDLE AGES DURING THE PLAGUE!! NEWEGG ROCKS!!!!!

[!King_Amazon!]

Maybe it just wasn't funny.

[Grav]

You're just not allowed to be in on the funny. "Bob."

It was funny but he does it all the time... No need to comment.

And when he does it usually sucks...

That's funny.

[Original Sin]

You know what's pathetic?

The fact that Bush can go and talk about how bad the Iraqi's or Afghani's are when it comes to how they act, but yet we have people looting, raping and possibly even killing people and yet they say nothing about how bad these people are, hurricane or not. They are acting worse than the Iraqi's and Afghani's are and they still have way more than them.

[Grav]

That's funny.
That's funny.

[Lenny]

Heh heh...you're funny... :p

No wait...my bad.

Or is it?

Not that I 100% disagree with you, but I thought I had to share my thoughts. Bush has never called Iraqis backwards people, atleast not on TV. He has called terrorists lowlife miscreants, or whatever four letter word he uses to describe them. It's usually not the country, it's individuals. For every looter, there is someone who actually has morals and a conscience. You never see those people, because they don't make the news.

On the other hand, most of the people are probably looting for needed supplies. Not only that, but the merchandise that people are looting is probably ruined and insured through the company anyways, so letting it go to waste is just as wrong as not taking it.

[Adrenachrome]

Insurance or not, taking anything you don't need should get you shot.

[!King_Amazon!]

Dem niggaz stealin our shooz!!

[Kaneda]

Micheal Jordan makes more money in a year off of Nike than all of the workers in Malaysia combined. I think Nike can affored to lose a few thousand in shoes to dem niggaz in New Orleans.

[!King_Amazon!]

That doesn't make it right.

[Thanatos]

You need to put yourself in their Nikes for a bit. Wouldn't you steal shit in order to survive? I know I would.

[Kaneda]

Sure it does. IMO anything that hurts Nike(Insert any large Co.) is right.
Is putting murderers and rapists on death row right? Sure it is, cause they are evil. We've got the same situation here. Now I'm not saying the bad things the looters are doing like killing people is ok, but simply looting. I see no harm.

[!King_Amazon!]

Who eats shoes?

They are reaping the rewards of someone elses work. They did nothing yet they get something, while someone else did something and in return gets nothing.

[Kaneda]

Survival of the fittest. They are reaping the rewards of a natural disaster.

[Penny_Bags]

Well aren't you a morally advanced human being. I mean, come on, this is survival of the fittest! Forget our social structure! WE'VE GOT ANIMALISTIC INSTINCT!!!!

[Original Sin]

Survival of the fittest eh? Than Saddam back in power over in Iraq because he was clearly winning.

Survival doesn't include stealing shoes, weapons, killing others and raping does it?

Survival means food and water. Maybe big rubber boots for walking through water, but a $200 pair of Nike shoes are not going to help you survive.

That's all that should be needed to be said so don't say anything stupid...again.

[undeadzombieguy]

They can sell the stuff in other places. With that money they'll buy their much needed crack..uh.. I mean food... :rolleyes:

[Adrenachrome]

All I know is... my house wouldn't get looted..

[Adrenachrome]

lol no... though it does seem that way eh?

[kockblocker1]

Shit. The cops were looting too.

[Kaneda]

lol good shit good shit.

Survival of the fittest eh? Than Saddam back in power over in Iraq because he was clearly winning. Wtf? I'm the one saying stupid shit huh. Wtf does this have to do w/ anything? I don't even know how to reply to this. Hes not in power because he couldn't tough it out. Although when the US puts it military force towards a goal they can usually accomplish it. So, I'm.. baffled.

Well aren't you a morally advanced human being. I mean, come on, this is survival of the fittest! Forget our social structure! WE'VE GOT ANIMALISTIC INSTINCT!!!! Yes animalistic instincts indeed. Procreation and survival. Thats all I'm here for.
Do you think you'd be one that could survive w/out the comfy cushions of our social structure? If you need social structure to live. Your only holding us all back, just like 90% of the bovine living on this planet.

[Hades-Knight]

Dude if Iw as there I'd have been the first person going wild hahaha........I'd be taking laptops and shit....

On a side note, have you noticed that when they show looter son tv its always black people?

[!King_Amazon!]

Most of the people are black, and most of the black people are niggers, so gg.

[Thanatos]

Ok, d3v.

[Kaneda]

Mike check. One two.

Who would give that stupid bitch a pistol belt and a gun? :confused:

[Kaneda]

Your employer.








The MAN.

[Adrenachrome]

She has a gun and badge cause she's one of the smart ones...

[KagomJack]

Katrina was a bad thing. The people are demonstrating a side never seen during disasters. Quite sad. Don't hesitate to actually give money to the American Red Cross. And if you can't give money, encourage others to do so. Or if you just want to be a heartless, greedy miser, that's your prerogative =D

[Adrenachrome]

I'm sorry.. I will not be donating any of my money, the government will eventually take the money in the form of taxes, whether you donate or not.

[kockblocker1]

I'm sorry.. I will not be donating any of my money, the government will eventually take the money in the form of taxes, whether you donate or not.

So true.

[Hades-Knight]

Damn nigger cops be lootin wal-mart yo!

[Afroman]

It's pathetic over there. People try and say they are raping, stealing looting killing and just being fucking ravage beasts because they're poor. Fuck that shit. Those people in Mississippi are just as poor as the "homies" in New Orleans, and they all evacuated with no problem. Ok fine, stay in the superdome. Where the homies have been jumping cops, stealing their m16's and raping people out in the open, let alone the stealing. Fuckign pathetic. Bomb that whole place.

[Lenny]

Terrible the things that are happening...and all the bodies that are being found now that the water is being pumped out.

Problem is, the water contains horriblew chemicals and what not, so by pumping it into a nearby lake they are endangering wildlife and whatever. Can't be good...

[Kaneda]

Fuck that let the water sit, eventually it'll soak in or evaporate. Then you just leave the the whole place as a memorial to... somthing. Theres not point in endargering wildlife and nature for the sake of human lives.

[pr0xy]

Why donate money? I mean... They have already spent enough of our tax money that was supposed to go towards rebuilding the levies and spent it on the war... I'm sure the government can suck it up and fix the problem they created... If the money went towards what it was supposed to, there wouldnt be nearly as bad of a problem now.

[kockblocker1]

Money from the federal defense fund is not in the same pool as money from the state Levy Sustainability Fund. Asking the federal government to pay for the upkeep of this is ludicrous. People from New York would be pretty pissed if they found out the taxes they paid went to making some wall in Louisiana 3 feet higher so people can continue to live below sea level while the interstate in their city has potholes the size of basketballs. Good luck with that one. It has been and still should be state responsibility.

Um... Are you serious?

[Adrenachrome]

Soak in to what? The SATURATED BELOW SEA LEVEL SOIL?

[JRwakebord]

Exactly. What happens when you fill a below sea-level basin with water? It turns into a lake, that's what.

[Paradox_Knight]

Such lack in patience... I don't feel it as strongly since I live higher north, go canada. In any case. From what I can tell, in the worse of situations people often reveal their truer selves, wether it is to aid another in compassion and virtue, or to revel in one's own needs of survival through whatever needs necessary.

In a place like the US, I'd imagine that the later is more powerful then the earlier, sadly enough though. From what I hear and also from what I've learned of how things work in the US, I'm frankly not too surprised...

It's quite sad too, how we as humans, need to be shown something of such great magnitude to finally wish for an end to violence or to aid one another, or to start to try and make the world we live in safer or a better place. We always need that painful push before we jump into action. What was that phrase I saw somewhere, all it takes for evil to win is for good men to do nothing, something along those lines.

Oh yes, don't jump to conclusions on other people's posts please, I refer to the earlier mention of someone being racist, the comment had nothing to do with races simply rather to the lack of inhibition or the rage of a mob that would take it out on looters, something of the sort. Before you comment on something, first analyze the situation and identify it with wether or not it is what you believe, or what they are trying to convey.

I believe I spoke too much... I may sound somewhat impartial, and truthfully I am, but human lives should never be ignored nor should it be taken for granted... But all I can do up here is hope for the best, wether I worry myself into an ulcer or not will not change how things are going down there. I cannot do anything since I'm rather financially down and am busy with my studies, but others can do what they can, support in whatever form, even encouragement, I'm quite sure, are more then welcome in these times of despair.

But like with the president, it's nice to complain about it, but best is to act upon it. After all, one's actions speaks louder then words... On that note, I really need to shut up and start doing something more constructive... Sorry for my bad habit and I wonder if I'm posting too much on one shot.

[Paradox_Knight]

Um... Are you serious?
Strangely enough that is one solution. If one thinks about how much wilderness is destroyed or how many forests have been cut down, it's getting quite dangerous isn't it? After all, no trees = no air, from what I remember well enough.

and... Oh right, should not comment too much, sorry for the double post, I'll go shut up in that corner over there now.

[!King_Amazon!]

No trees = no air is a ton of bullshit, we could live without trees, it would just be a little harder to breathe.

[Medieval Bob]

Ya, most of the oxygen comes from bullshit plants in the ocean, right?

[Mantralord]

Doesn't most of it really come from shit living on the ocean?

[!King_Amazon!]

Most of our oxygen comes from some organisms or something. I don't remember this shit.

[JRwakebord]

Plankton.

[Mantralord]

Plankton.

is that your dick's name L:grin:L

[Paradox_Knight]

nah they're pretty much correct. Oxygen first originates from water evaporating or from plant-life within the water, H2O, O being Oxygen and H2O being water.

It's just that it's quite easy to link trees to cleasing of air and reducing CO2 within the area. There were also studies showing that people have healthier lungs and have an easier time to breathe in areas with more greenery then others.

Yes, I can sometimes go against what I say, but as I've said, it's my habit of saying what's off my mind which can be somewhat controversial to my own sayings.

[JRwakebord]

So... what you say disagrees with what you say? Huh?

[Grav]

He's Canadian.
