A Letter from TruthStream.Org:

I would like to know exactly what those in the Corporate News Media would do if everything they owned was destroyed. The clothes on their backs soaked. No bed to sleep on, no food to eat, no water to drink. Your wallet (along with most of your belongings), have floated 5-10 miles down the road or is under up to 20 feet in water. The city is mostly abandon and/or destroyed. Apparently, the Corporate News Media and the governors and mayors of these states and cities believe that since they put themselves in this situation, they should just stay on a roof, without food, without clean water, without clean clothes, waiting, hoping for a helicopter to rescue them.

Those who choose not to starve are being called ‘looters’. I call them survivors. ‘Paying optional shoppers’ Keith Olberman referred to them as. Where do you propose they get the money? I bet it is hard to find a working ATM, not to mention the fact there is no one to work the register. Not to mention the fact that everything in the store will be declared a loss anyways. “They’re stealing TV’s” they say “That’s not survival”. I’m gonna let you in on a little secret. A TV that has been drenched in water probably isn’t going to work anymore. If someone wants lug a 50 lb TV that will be declared a loss anyways to his house that is underwater and plug it in to a outlet that has no power, and wont for weeks, and sit and pretend he is watching TV while he waits for the helicopter, I say God Bless him!

People tend to forget that these people didn’t leave the city because they couldn’t. Not because they are a ‘criminal element’ that stayed behind just to loot, as Fox News had eluded to. And most not because they just wanted to brave the storm. These were poor people who had no means to leave the city. I for one have no problem with any of these people grabbing a mattress to sleep on, some fresh clothes, food to eat, water to drink and yes, even a TV to pretend to watch while they wait for the helicopter. Sorry Wal-Mart, you can take a loss on a couple stores.
