So this is your country of brotherly love, eh?

This is your true nature. This is the real face of america and
americans.

Thieving from each other, especially in times of natural disaster, urban
mining, even killing for no reason. That is - when you're not spying on
each other.

By the way, how are your guns protecting your electronic privacy?

Your privacy is being stolen from you by your gov't, and your guns and
your right to bear arms are doing exactly nothing to enforce those
rights.

George Bush gave you a lasting legacy, didn't he?

So shut up, bend over, and be a nice little Patriot. Uncle Sam wants to
know you better.

Looters have come from afar to Okla. after tornado

MOORE, Okla. (AP) -- Authorities say looters have come from as far away
as New York and Virginia to steal from victims of last month's tornado
in Moore, Okla.

The Oklahoman reports (see link below) that police arrested one man from
Elmhurst, N.Y., and two from Virginia on misdemeanor complaints of
stealing copper wire, scrap metal and other items from homes destroyed
by the May 20 tornado. Twenty-four people were killed.

Several Moore residents were also arrested on similar misdemeanor
complaints.

Residents have filed theft reports for such items as a $50,000 watch, a
$13,000 watch, a $2,000 fountain pen and a $1,300 hunting camera.

They don't even wait for a disaster before they start looting in the
UK. Mostly blacks. We have too many immigrants here.

You got the government you voted for.

In my county there is an estimated 1.2 Million handguns. Long guns are
not counted in any data. Last year 68K + new handguns were registered.
Population of the county is less than 2 Million.

Brit's want their guns back!

That last looter had a duffle bag. He got more than his fair share.

But we're supposed to be better than that. Maybe we once really were.

C'mon now. Isn't calling these people looters a bit harsh? They
are merely unlicensed recyclers volunteering to help clean up the mess.

And Americans come from all over the US to rebuild Okla. after tornadoes

In other words, we are exactly like every other country--populated by
devils, angels, and everything in between.

As far as the scrap material from the structures that were trashed,
what else was going to be done with them? I assume *someone* was
eventually going to collect it and profit from it. So you're only
happy if some state-sanctioned vultures get their hands on it?

Locally (north Alabama) storm debris get hauled to landfills. There's
not even any attempt to salvage trees for lumber, firewood, or pulp. One of my
co-workers home was hit in April 2011; he had a 4' diameter red oak tree
blown down that was sawed into "small" pieces and dumped. As he is a
woodworker, it bothered him to see it go to waste.

Crying shame.

In December 2011 the 100+mph winds blew down thousands of trees and tree
parts, mostly street tree. The ironic thing is that the residents
aren't permitted to trim the street trees and the City can't afford to
do a proper trimming job more frequently than SUPPOSEDLY every five
years. They spent all the money on pretty street lights and fancy
paving in the downtown crosswalks.

It took months for the City to clear up the mess, and there are still
tree stumps still partially in the ground, but they can clear Colorado
Blvd. within hours after the Rose Parade.

Now instead of actually repairing the heaved sidewalks, they just put in
some blacktop to make a smooth transition between blocks -- sometimes as
much as an 8-inch difference in height.

It's not only the Feds that are incompetent or corrupt...
