Anger and hatred

I just spoke with my husband. There is a chance that I won't be able to go home until Tuesday now. Let me tell you why. Do you know why the governor is making all those people who stayed behind leave? Oh yes, part of it is for their safety of course. But part of it is because they are looting the fucking city. And I have made a huge deal about what a fucking cesspool Orleans parish is but they have crossed the brige ON FOOT and have now taking over Gretna and Terrytown. A band of them have taken over. They are armed and are taking whatever the fuck they want. They took over the Terrytown fire station. Well, let me just tell you fuckheads something. If you have the God damned energy to cross a huge ass bridge like that, then go find a fucking job somewhere and be productive. Clearly you are a lazy piece of shit because you want to be. If you sons of bitches go anywhere near my home, my husband or his station I will fucking find you all and kill you. I am over it. Living in that city has filled me with hate. At this point, I can understand those people I used to think were insane rednecks - you know who I mean - the nuts that have gun racks in their trucks and arm themselves to the hilt in order to defend their homes. I GET THEIR MINDSET NOW. A Jefferson parish sheriff's deputy was shot at point blank range. POINT BLANK RANGE by a looter. His family is now being held hostage by a prisoner from the Jeff parish jail. I will give you that bringing one's fam to a prison - not the best course of action but I imagine this officer thought they were safer with him. Clearly not. And why? WHY? Because we live in a society where shit like this is glamourized. It's cool to be a gangster. It's cool to be "hard." It's cool to be in fucking jail. Well fuck you all. Fuck you and I hope that someone takes all that is near and dear to you (that would be your guns and weed, of course) and fucking burns it up and destroys it all. Stay the fuck away from my neighborhood. We do not want you there and we will not allow you to stay. I am so angry right now that I could seriously hurt someone. What is so sad is that this is not even a racial thing. Granted I have yet to see a white person on the news looting, but you know what? It is an attitude of "I deserve this" and "Fuck whitey." I have encountered nothing but grace and kindness and compassion from every single person - white and black - since I have been in Memphis. Not sure why the pieces of shit in New Orleans are like this, but they are. I don't pity them in the least. I don't care how they were brought up. I don't care how poor they were. I don't care that they could not see their way out the ghetto. I DO NOT FUCKING CARE. I hate them all and I promise you that if one of them comes near my husband's fire station, he will rue the day. RUE THE FUCKING DAY.

We have judges up here saying they would not convict anyone who killed one of those scumbags whho was looting...if they have the energy to be doing all this looting then they have the energy to get the hell out of the city where they can aid...but they dont want that.
at 4:54 PM Shari said...: They should give the national guard orders to kill any looters. These bastards deserve to die. What the fuck is wrong with these people?!!
at 5:18 PM Ern said...: It would be totally different if they were taking food or baby formula.

But I am watching people wandering the aisles at Wal-Mart with carts bursting with clothes and shoes and tvs. Terrible.

I'm glad you are ok, though!
at 6:02 PM Nessa said...: that's it - I'm posting my phone number here - call me! we want to help you however we can and by God, you're gonna let us! 281-235-2922 (but you can delete this comment once you write it down)
at 6:29 PM Candy said...: I agree, if they were taking food and water, thats understandable, but who needs to be stealing tvs? Thats sick, and they do deserve to be shot. Especially when they are shooting at people who are roughing it out to try to save others. Its so sad. And people wonder why I like animals better then most people...
at 7:43 PM Anonymous said...: If someone can meet me at the edge of town, I'm willing to sit on your roof with my M14 for a few days and keep people out. Will do it for three bowls of beans a day at the fire station, too. The crap that went down at the hospitals this morning started me off down the hateful path real fast, and I'm a good shot.
at 7:44 PM Anonymous said...: ie, meet me at the edge of town with a boat... That's what I meant. Even have my own sleeping bag.
at 7:46 PM Lori said...: Ugh, I guess it takes nothing more than what is supposed to be the worst natural disaster in US history to bring out the worst in people. Um, yeah you're stealin shit and what exactly do you think you're going to do with it? Sell it to Bubba in the hood. Fuck.
at 7:51 PM Lori said...: I just want to throw something out here, on the cash flow side of things. If you have a PayPal account, maybe you could post a button to it, like Kristine (Random & Odd) does to for her Nikon lens fund :)

I will be contributing to the Red Cross, but I know I'd also be happy to send a few bucks to someone I feel I 'know' even if virtually. You let us into a view of your life and I think alot of us would like to help you out as well.
at 7:51 PM momazon said...: That is totally evil. What horrid, horrid scum. Kharma's a bitch, though - they'll get theirs.

Our family's thoughts and prayers are with you.
at 8:26 PM Pissy Britches said...: Girl, all I see on TV are these fuckers stealing shoes and clothes and shit that you know they are just gonna go sell so they can buy some more dope fo' they momma's.
It is seriously fucking insane and I hope that everyone of the motherfuckers rots in eternal fucking hell.
Just a disgrace to the American people. Acting like a bunch of punk ass bitches.
Just fucking insane.
It seriously makes me sick to my stomach.
at 12:37 AM Anonymous said...: Thing I wanna know is for the folks that I saw stealing RACKS of frozen foods and boxed meals-- how are you going to cook/prepare it?

What REALLY pissed me off are those folks who are stealing stuff and smiling/laughing about doing it.

What's frightening is that there is a complete loss of any "order" and looks like Marshall Dillon (from Gunsmoke... ya'll may be too young! :) may need to open up a can of whoop ass... Doesn't really say a whole helluva lot about the human race but then again... we're not seeing those going without; just the folks taking advantage of the situation.

None-the-less, hopefully the "calvary" is on the way soon...
at 9:23 PM Cat said...: Came via Kristine and I just want to say how sorry I am for all you are going through... Hey! I am up in DC and am a pretty damn good shot. I was born in raised in rural AZ; we all shoot guns out there, you know, for fun?. Hee. Um, not kidding...

Anyhoos, I am all for shooting those pieces of shit looters. Their actions are lower than low, and they don't deserve our pity. I'm with you. I don't care how they were raised. This is just PATHETIC. And good people are out there risking their lives trying to save people?!

What is wrong with these people? Their sense of entitlement is ridiculous....
at 8:26 PM Marit said...: Came through Sherri, but donated via Kristine.

I can really relate to your anger---I get pissed every time I turn on the TV. But, I can't even imagine what it must be like for you.

Hang in there.
at 11:35 PM Katie said...: I totally, 100 percent agree with you. People are not like that everywhere, but there are so many in New Orleans who have this bad-ass, woe-is-me, screw "the man" attitude. It is not necessarily racial, because no matter who does the looting doesn't make it okay. But it is odd that one specific group of people is committing these atrocities. It is the way they were raised, and it is a certain mindset, but that DOESN'T MAKE IT FUCKING RIGHT!!! There is a special fiery place in hell for these bastards, and they will get theirs in the end. The looting is causing so much more pain and suffering, because if the necessities were distributed evenly, everyone would have a better chance at living until they get rescued. But these lowlifes are just that - lowlife SCUM - and they only look out for themselves. All I can hope is that they don't bring the looters to Houston. That would suck. But the people in Houston from New Orleans right now are awesome, and those are the ones we need to think about. People like you, who ROCK, and who deserve all the help we can give. FUCK those lazy looting bastards. I hope your husband shoots them on the spot.

Okay, enough raging by me. All I care is that you are OKAY! We love you, and GOD BLESS NOLA!!!
