The other half of this story is that the Dominicans seem to be blocking their borders with armed soldiers. Sounds a lot like NOLA when some were protecting their resources from the refugees with small arms.
But this ain't looting - this is surviving. No one is seen taking Caddies, Nikes and TVs.
If there were an earthquake in L.A., we all know we'd be watching Undercover Black Man's fat ass on Channel 7 news breaking the windows of the corner Korean Mart and climbing over people when the Costco stock of Top Ramen in his apartment ran out.
"I'm hungry, I'm hungry."
Same with DMG, although I suspect he'd be a bit more cool about it. As soon as his son said, "dad, I'm hungry", DMG would load a 9, go to Korean Mart and tell them to hand over the stash of peanuts. And then head home.
More likely, I'd be in the hospital sewing up YOUR arm after YOU broke the window of the corner market. Keep it straight.
I don't consider re-appropriating food and water in an emergency as looting. Walking out of Costco with TV's or Footlocker with boxes of high end Nike's is looting.
And I wouldn't use a "nine". I prefer the Sig Sauer P229 .40cal, thank you very much...as my back up weapon. If I had to kick in a door, someone would likely see the muzzle of something larger made by HK.
Let's not forget, I've had more than surgical training counselor.
The owners of the corner stores can't tell people to take what they need and still collect from their insurance company. They can't ask hungry people for an orderly removal of their goods because most people get greedy. Many store owners allow locals to "loot" in order to do what's right (feed the people) and what's legal (collect insurance).
Same story after New Orleans. The media just dusted it off and repackaged it with the city names changed.
ReplyDeleteI'll laugh if we find photos from New Orleans being reused for this story though.

Criminals have run the country for centuries. That's why it's broke.

ReplyDeleteThank you!

ReplyDeleteOh, indeed, Doc, I have not forgotten. Which is why I gave you far more credit than the Fully Exposed KneeGrow hater.
And, nah, you wouldn't be sewing up my arm. You'd be patching up the giant hole in the person who tried to come near my house and get mine. :-)
