#1 "Watching the sordid display and shaking his head in disgust, one firefighter said of the scene: "It’s a f---- hurricane, what are you do with a basketball goal?"

Wet dreams are for kids, I want my hoop dreams.

#2 ...what are you do with a basketball goal?

Maybe he should ask this cop what he's going to do with those DVDs. Caption reads:
GARDEN DISTRICT: A New Orleans police officer is seen carrying DVDs at the Wal-Mart on Tchoupitoulas Tuesday. Many police officers said they felt helpless in enforcing the looters, which were found all over the city.

"So we joined 'em."

That'll be happening soon enough.

#7 ACLU reminder: No racial profiling when taking pot shots at looters. Make sure your activities reflect prevailing demographics in your neighborhood.

#8 C'mon - you guys are too cynical. They're not looters - they're civic-minded citizens moving the goods to higher ground.

#12 "it ain't lootin' it's survival"
just heard on msnbc, by a kid being interviewed. It saddens me to not be hearing how folks are getting out and helping each other, instead being very self centered stealing jewelry and tv's. It will be dark soon, and not only do folks need to deal with the horrific fact of the hurricane, but now high crime as well. Very tragic. Kudos to all the agency's that are helping these folks.

#14 Actually the "Granny Clampett" method, "Rock Salt & Lard" fired from a shotgun towards a troublmaking posterior might make a point without causing permanent injury...

#15 "What I want to know is why we don’t have paratroopers with machine guns on every street," Williams said.

Amen. The National Guard needs to by fully in place by tomorrow morning with orders to shoot to kill all looters. And thats a full day or two too late. wtf.

#16 Big Ed, .30-'06 through heart or skull won't cause permanent injury either and seems a better approach than Granny Clampett's.
I recently sold our condo on Magazine & Henry Clay and lived in Jefferson Parish until 2 am Sunday. Even from that perspective, based only on what I see on the news I would have the attitude 'New Orleans deserves what they get, screw 'em.' It's wrong, but even I have to fight that attitude. I'll feel a whole lot better when good folks like Art Depodesta take out a few of these f**kers.

#18 Just wait, we'll be hearing reports of bodies found in the coming weeks that had bullet wounds in them.
"Who shot my boy!?"
"Don't know lady, but the jeans he's wearing with the tags still on might be a clue."
