F-ing Bastards

Nothing but a bunch of savages in this town

From NOLA.com

LootingNew Orleans, 2:15 p.m.Returning from a fact-finding expedition from the newspaper's Howard Avenue headquarters, a group of reporters and photographers stumbled on a parade of looters streaming from Coleman's Retail Store, located at 4001 Earhart Blvd., about two blocks away from The Times-Picayune offices.The looters, who were men and women who appeared to be in their early teens to mid-40s, braved a steady rain and infrequent tropical storm wind gusts to tote boxes of clothing and shoes from the store. Some had garbage bags stuffed with goods. Others lugged wardrobe-sized boxes or carried them on their heads.The line going to and from the store along Earhart Boulevard numbered into the dozens and appeared to be growing.Some looters were seen smiling and greeting each other with pleasantries as they passed. Another group was seen riding in the back of a pickup truck, honking the horn and cheering.The scene also attracted a handful of curious bystanders, who left the safety of their homes to watch the heist.No police were present in the area, which is flooded heavily with standing water two to four feet deep on all sides of Earhart Blvd.

I read that same article and have seen some of the footage...

In an IM to a friend of mine who also went to Tulane that is the exact word I used:

Savages.

There is no good thing one can say about these irredeemable monsters. They demonstrate the stark and thin line between society and chaos.
