people were also driving around indiscriminately shooting minorities in the katrina aftermath, including cops

Wait were they shooting cops? Cause I'm glad something good came from that lovely situation.

Also with the unprecedented destruction that is surely to be wrought by the hurricane currently known as "Florence" in the states of South Carolina and Georgia, I petition to have the name changed to Hurricane Sherman, then the name can be retired.

he then went on to spearhead the confederate statue removals months before the nazis murdering that lady in charlottesville shamed other cities into doing it


really the problems are the exurbs outside of the city where it becomes just a sea of white flight. the last census map is crazy it's just this unbroken ring of white people

no the cops decided to join in on the brown people murder and got caught executing people on danziger bridge


basically outside the city it wasn't uncommon for white people to reenact their favorite zombie apocalypse scenarios except the zombies were just minorities

yep, then all you have to do is survive for a couple of weeks exposed on your roof without food or potable water, should be a piece of cake

yea like looting stores in a situation like this is essentially a victimless crime, right? every single thing has already been inventoried and written off as a loss, and whatever survived would either be destroyed by the company, stolen by employees, or otherwise shuffled out of rotation and not sold

Depends on the store but if you're caught out in a survival situation then just loot without shame.

If someone looted the local Foot Locker down to the studs and sold everything online afterwards I doubt I would give even a single gently caress. And that's just on a regular day.

It gets a little grey if you are looting houses though. But with stores, who cares.

Theft of any kind in any situation for any reason is a disruption of social order, and letting people get away with this would be a lapse in the exercise of power that is totally unconscionable. If you don’t summarily execute people for petty crimes in crisis situations, society will begin sliding down a slippery slope which ends with people thinking they can do anything. Before you know it they’ll be demanding that leaders are elected by popular vote.

whatever happened with chuds thinking FEMA was an illuminati plot to enslave humanity? is that over now that the president is white again

It was a thing in the 90's, way before Obama. I've no idea how the modern Qanon people roll (aside from 'boomer' and 'choosing schizophrenia over admitting they got conned by a conman') but I think the fact FEMA's bed-making GBS threads was the end of anybody being able to pretend the Bush admin was competent, and that 1) killed most of its appeal as a sinister organization, and 2) was all very much a matter of record. Obviously large swaths of white ppl still think "gubbermint's gonna get me" but outside of that group I think everybody recognizes the persecution complex of those people, which really undercuts any coolness 90's paranoid conspiracy theories had

He let the city's water board fall into a deep state of hosed-up-ness.

If his term had ended right after his Confederate monument speech, he would have left office revered. But he had like a whole nother year left and everyone found out how hosed the pumping system is and how crooked the water board was and now the city hates him.
