Shoot the looters!

Does anyone have a problem with this? My God, these people are the lowest of the low. I was watching the news last night trying to see if I’ll ever be able to again visit the Grand Casino in Biloxi; home of the world’s greatest chili. And all they were showing was image after image of chaos created by the looters. It was pissing me off.

I am not talking about the ones who are stealing food and blankets. That I can somewhat understand. I admit I have never faced anything remotely close to those circumstances. But to see a trail of scumbags walking like ants at a picnic out of Walmart with TV’s, iPods, toasters, etc, is appalling. Do they not realize power isn’t coming back on for a while?!

It is a pretty safe bet that someone who takes advantage of a crisis like this, probably isn’t going to end up as a major contributor to society. Like Perry Ferrell of Jane’s Addiction once sang, “Some people should die. That’s just unconscious knowledge.” Amen to that.
