The message that we'll shoot looters on site...

Post #222,773 by marlowe 9/4/05 5:13:59 PM Reply	The message that we'll shoot looters on site... will not play well with drug addicts stealing TV sets. (Or that f***wit who suggested burning the city down. As if he could get a decent fire going with all that water.) But it will have the effect it needs to have. And obviously those buses weren't too badly flooded when it mattered - that is, when the storm was on its way. As I've already linked, at least one got out... no thanks to Mayor Feckless. Bummer they gave that guy a hassle at the Astrodome, though. There's something profoundly un-American about the bureaucratic mindset. ---------------------------------------------------------------- If you don't like my posts, don't click on them.

(Harsh terms, but this is the deep south, and sometimes it's best not to sugar coat this stuff, when you want to see what the perceptions really are).

Post #222,802 by Andrew Grygus 9/4/05 7:05:29 PM Reply	So how do you sort . . . . . the drug addicts from people who hope to trade something for food, which they can't otherwise get when the government is on vacation? Or are you classifying food as an adictive drug punishable by death? Days ago I suggested machine guns and Apaches, and nixed it in the same sentence because too many mistakes would be made. The mistakes would probably outnumber the justified hits, just as seems to be happening in Iraq. [link\|http://www.aaxnet.com\|AAx]

Tar Baby.. Tar Baby.. Tar Baby.. Tar Baby.. (Repetition is said, occasionally to work for the dull-witted, though not during Rage-Boy seizures.. Oh well. Entertainment is where you find it.)
