Update: Photographer believes couple did "find" groceries
Sports Shooter
Chris Graythen wrote the caption for his photo of two hurricane survivors with bread and soda. "I believed in my opinion, that they did simply find them, and not 'looted' them in the definition of the word," he writes. "The people were swimming in chest deep water, and there were other people in the water, both white and black. I looked for the best picture. there were a million items floating in the water - we were right near a grocery store that had 5+ feet of water in it. it had no doors. the water was moving, and the stuff was floating away. These people were not ducking into a store and busting down windows to get electronics. They picked up bread and cokes that were floating in the water. They would have floated away anyhow."

lol@dumbasses laughing at this story

Hey guys. I'm from Lake Charles, a city about 4 hours away from all of this crap, and it's worse than you think...

the hard honest truth that I'd say 6/10 these guys probably are stealing stuff. My city has taken in thousands of people from New Orleans and we're having a lot of trouble with them starting trouble.

I'm 19 years old and tonight I had to take my parent's car because they didn't want me to ride around with my windows down [I have no air in my car]. They are stealing cars and money and causing riots.

:-\ and not pretty at all. It looks like we're stuck with it for a couple months at the very least.

I really feel bad for the people who are left with nothing.. but for the few who are just bring this to my community, I wish they'd just go back home.

Shit, told off by a 40-year old posting in a board full of people with a demographic age thats almost a good 20 years younger.

I don't have a mental problem, everyone else just forgets the fact that the possibility of this ever happening was imminent, but everyone still makes a big shit about it when it comes. It's like when people cry at their 98-year old grandmother's funeral. Holy shit, she's 98--you want her to be immortal?

Fuck, to save myself some finger cramps, I'm gonna quote myself from another forum:

I have very mixed feelings about the hurricane. Why? because a lot of the people lost their homes based on stupidity, not by a hurricane. I mean--why would you want to build your home over a swamp thats 20 feet below sea level. The water rises up slightly, and you already have a flood. The south gets hurricanes all the time--so why should this be a suprise to people that a massive 20 foot flood spread across most of louisiana? That's like thinking "There will never be an earthquake that will destroy buildings!!", and you're living right at the san andreas fault-line. Now, it's a shame that the state of louisiana is full of people poorer than anyone over here in NY--therefore the homes themselves are poorly built, and the land around it is poorly developed, so whatever little they had, is gone--but the fact of the matter is, they chose to live there, and I'm pretty sure they knew that their area would totally get fucked during hurricane season. It's just like in Florida where people in trailer homes began weeping when a hurricane came through and demolished everything. It's like "Hello? It's a TRAILER HOME. It will get destroyed if you simply run a car through it!".

Yeah, it sucks that they lost their homes, but is it a tragedy? Nope. Nature doesn't give a fuck if someone's poorly prepared to face a storm. It's still going to come and fuck your shit up, and we always have to be on-guard for that kind of shit. Hell, NYC has a GREAT CHANCE OF FLOODING if a powerful-enough hurricane was to come our way. We're literally in the water--period. If a powerful enough hurricane would come, everyone who wasn't a good swimmer will fucking die. Everyone who lives in poorly built house will die. Thankfully enough, the Bronx is an extremely mountainous area, so we'd probably be affected the least--but manhattan? Yeah, kudos to those smart enough to live in Brownstone homes.

The point I'm trying to make is that a lot of the suffering that is happening is all based on human error, not the hurricane. It's not tragic, it's life. If you want tragic, go check out what's happening in South Africa. That's tragic. The people in NOLA got pwned by their lack of foresight.

Yeah, blacks steal things.

And shoot people.

And stuff.

They also jump really tall, and play basketball.

[Thirty Seconds To Live]

See, the last part of this thread reminds me why I hate people and want to die and/or kill them have of the time.

Next, someone is going to say, "God sent the hurricane to New Orleans to punish all the black people for living :shocK: BLACK LIVES. And they are poor and smoke marijuana." (i would have used about ten exclamation points, but the key is broken).

I can just see that coming.. some people did w/ 9/eleven (DAMN COMPUTER).

The equipment the Guard needs to help in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina is in shorter supply because the gear is in use in combat zones, is battle-damaged, or has been loaned to cover gaps in other units, the officials said. The National Guard Bureau estimates that its nationwide equipment availability rate is 35 percent, about half the normal level, according to Pentagon statistics.
''In the four years since 9/11 that we have been at war, equipment has been beaten up, blown up, or simply left behind," said John Goheen of the National Guard Association of the United States. ''States have had to borrow equipment and make do with a lot less equipment. We are short literally thousands of Humvees."
Meanwhile, in Louisiana and Mississippi, the states hit hardest by the hurricane, up to 40 percent of their National Guard troops are on active duty in Iraq. As a result, Guard commanders responding to the storm's havoc have been forced to look further afield for military police and other National Guard units and equipment from states as far away as Maryland, stealing precious time from the relief efforts.

Yeah, Bush, go to hell... you're well on your way (surprisingly I'm not trying to start a debate, but now I'm good and annoyed.)

NATIONAL GUARD= supposed to stay home, idiot.... I think I want to move to France. It was nice over there... but oops... no 30 STM concerts.

/rant... for now.
