2. Hmmm

It's like here in Tucson.

Poor Mexicans commit crimes. . .rich white people "make mistakes." And I'm one of those rich white people from a very successful family with a very successful business of my own.

Asswipe racist spin fuckers.

9. Also note: Whites are "residents",

But the not-so-white fellow is just a "young man".

5. i saw those pics earlier

and e-mailed them to several friends. The racism is extremely blatant. Anyone who tries to argue that our country has progressed to a point that we don't need equal opportunity laws etc. is very disillusioned.

8. I'm not surprised.

AND it got 109 votes for greatest!!! God, I love DUers. I've been off DU most of the day and I got it via e-mail. Glad to see it's getting so much attention.

10. I say let them loot.

What the hell does it matter?Whatever is there has to be an insurance loss,so if the poor people who have nothing takes something and can use it good for them!Use the resources elsewhere.Idiots I swear at this point you shouldn't give a shit about your stuff that can be replaced.

11. It's the AFP, not the AP that I would say has something to explain.

Credibility.

You could compare these two from the same source and bring it up to them.

http://pics.livejournal.com/jadedjade/pic/000600ww (they use the word "looting" here, though as someone's pointed out, it looks a lot less like what we would call looting, since the signs say the store's still open)

But comparing the copy from two different organizations does not make a case for an inconsistent policy of either one.

The charge made by the second link is just lame. A shopping bag is a shopping bag no matter if what's in it is stolen or not.
