Glad to hear your son is ok!  Was he in the middle of all this?

Unfortunately you are too ignorant to understand the context of the shots.  Most of the shots fired are done to get the attention of the rescuers that routinely bypass those in need...not to harm them.  Kind of like warning shots...only these are signal shots.

Hahahaha.  That's funny.  Snipers taking aim at rescuers to "get their attention".  Hahahaha.

I'll tell you what, menotellname, why don't you go get a gun and try to "get the attention" of some cops by shooting at them.

Hahahaha.

By the way, the looters also tipped over rescue boats.  Do you get rescuers' attention by dumping them in the contaminated floodwater?

Hahahaha.

Here's some reading for you, my friend:

"People are dying of AIDS in South Africa more than any other country. The country is now in the midst of a horrifying epidemic—baby rape. Barely a day goes by that a child under the age of one is sexually assaulted. Experts say the attacks are fueled by a bizarre belief among many African men suffering from HIV/AIDS."

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/1703595.stm

Two men are due to appear at a court in Johannesburg on Tuesday, accused of raping a five-month-old girl who was discovered covered in blood and in tears.

Every day the newspapers bring awful revelations: a nine-month-old girl gang-raped by six men; an eight-month-old raped and left by the roadside.

Is raping babies a good way to get attention?  Or is that what an intelligent people does?

Thanks, he's just fine got home last night around 3. He took a much needed bath, had a huge meal and is sleeping in his old bead

Seems to me that most of the rapists in America are white males.  Especially those that rape 5 month olds.  Check the stats.

I am sure that the posts about Africa mean something to you.  Should I post something about the poor white trash that dominates the welfare payrolls here...

Obviously you have never been in adverse conditions and resorted to extreme measures.  Firing a bullet in the air when a plane is near is no different than firing a flare in the air when a plane is near.  Both are meant as signals but also pose and eminent threat to the plane itself.

By your nature you have proven yourself incapable of meaningful debate.

Don’t spend anymore time trying to educate Inquisitive, it’s clearly a just as waste. Sadly, there must be a village looking for him somewhere.

Thats Awesome!  Very nice gesture to offer up your other sons room!

Sep 2, 2005 4:16 pm

Inquisitive sounds like he's late for a Kaln meeting and the guy claiming the snipers are just firing to attract attention sounds like his meds need to be adjusted. Could it be the battle of competing bigots?

Sep 2, 2005 5:24 pm

Hmmmmm...shooting a helicopter that is hovering in close proximity to you is rather easy...even if you are blind (follow the sounds).

You would think that they could shoot such a target if they were trying to hit it.  If untrained Iraqi's can do it so can untrained US citizens.  Unless...they aren't trying to shoot the choppers at all.

Sep 2, 2005 5:41 pm

Are you somehow under the impression that:

a) The pilot of the aircraft didn't know the people were below him and

b) You can actually hear a gunshot while hovering in a helicopter?

Truly, you're more stupid than I even suspected!

Not true at all.  In fact, blacks are 3 times more likely to commit rape than whites and hispanics.

http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/cius_02/html/web/offreported/02-nforc iblerape04.html

34% of all people arrested for forcible rape are black.  Blacks represent only 12.5% of the population.

Go ahead.  Please do.

And how many of them have rap sheets?

Extreme measures?  Are you insane?  I can completely understand looting of food and water.  There is no excuse for rape, murder, shootings, etc.  No excuse at all.

These aren't extreme measures.  This is how these people behave without a strong police presence to keep them in check.

Yes, it is much different.  First off, those bullets aren't tracers--which are hard to see during the day, anyway.  Second, I wouldn't expect someone to see a muzzle flash if they weren't looking for one.

Why can't they use flashlights?

I know, I know, you're just making stuff up.  I hope you're a better investment advisor than you are a liar.

This coming from a man who makes up ludicrous excuses for socio-pathic behavior.

Ah, perhaps I'm venting.  But this is disgusting.  It really is.  During a time where everyone should pitch in and help, we have an entire ethnic group whining and complaining, committing crime, and trying to murder helpers.

Sickening.

One more thing before I begin my holiday weekend:

It is estimated that 1 out of every 3 black males will serve time in state or federal prison.  That doesn't include probation or county jail time.

You have to be either brain-dead or hyper-PC to the point of insanity find a way to excuse snipers shooting at relief workers.

Gee Sniper (love the name)...which one is it?

First you agree with your friend inquisitve...then you call him names.  Just kiss and make up.

You are using faulty math.  Because a population base makes up 12% of the population and 34% of those arrested for a specific crime DOES NOT make them 3 times more likely to commit the crime.  That just means that they are arrested at 3 times their demographic representation.  THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT THEY ARE 3 TIMES MORE LIKELY TO COMMIT THE CRIME.  Your less than rudimentary level of mathematics knowledge is astounding.  Further, you still didn't refute that most rapists are white males (as I stated previously).

Most urban welfare recipients are minorities.  However, most welfare recipients are white.  (check the stats)

As far as bullets...tracers are neither here nor there.  The fact of the matter is that it IS NOT hard to shoot a hovering helicopter during the day.  If they were aiming for the helipcopters they would have hit them.

Any questions?

Sep 2, 2005 6:57 pm

Are you insane Meno?  How can you make excusses for these animals?  I don't care what colar they are, they are the cockroaches of society.  They blame the world for their problems.  Uneducated?  Whos fault is that?  Theirs.  Poor-whos falt is that.  Theirs. 

I remember about 18 years ago when I owned a business in Chicago.  I ran out of a particular supply and had to make an early morning run to the very worse and most dangerous part of town to do a pick up.  At a stop light I sat keeping my head low and doors locked when a herd of kids crossed the street on the way to school.  They were all complete thugs and gangbangers.  The scariest bunch of kids I ever saw.  Not a one had a book. 

Then behind this group about 50 feet back walked a little asian kid.  All by himself, neatly dressed.  But what stood out most was the giant stack of books he was lugging. He was the only one out of about 20 who had a book.  I often wonder what happend to that little kid.  Here he was in the worst area of Chicago but his parents I am sure realized the value of an education.  I bet today he is a successful professional while the rest of those kids, now adults or more likely inmates, are complaining how society let them down.  THey are representitive of these idiots in New Orleans who are now looting and killing. 

Dredges of society.  I hope the army takes some of them out.  I hear a heavly armed convoy is making its way to the dome.  Hopefully they have been given the go-ahead to shoot when needed.

Hopefully the next time someone “signals” to a helicopter by shooting at it someone whill “signal” back with a good-ol M16.  That’s what is needed.

Remember the good old days when you’d challenge someone to a fist fight if you didn’t like them?



We weren’t cowards like those cowards shooting everything that moves with guns.  We were willing to put ourselves at risk.



…Those were the days…

Last word:



I want to apologize if I offended anyone.  I didn’t mean to. 
I’ve said everything I can say about this and, quite frankly, seeing
continuing news coverage of the disgusting behavior in New Orleans is
turning my stomach. 



It’s unbelievable how cruel and heartless some people can be.

Sep 2, 2005 8:53 pm

Gee whiz, inquisitive, why such hatred for our black brothers?  Did your wife leave you for one?  I grew up in the South.  We lost the war, so lose the attitude.  Be cool my brother.

Just got back from a few days off.  Spent much of the time in Reno glued to the news.  Like watching a fascinating train wreck. You know it's coming. You know it is going to be terrible and you still can't stop looking.

About the people who remained in the city.  Many of them are the poorest of the poor who had no way to leave even if they wanted to. I feel for them and the innocent children. The City officials should have made some effort to help them evacuate. Those that refused to evacuate should just STFU.  Unfortunately some of them are also the criminals, slackers and leeches that suck the life out of the rest of society.  I do NOT feel for them. It is welfare mentality that has created this problem.  The idea that you are "owed" by society and that what you are given is not good enough and you demand more.  I am struck dumb by the woman who was whining that she had nothing to eat for days and no water, yet when given a MRE (the same food that our troops in combat eat) threw it away because it wasn't hot and was not tasty enough for her discriminating (welfare) standards.  Come on.  Puuuleeese.  I am supposed to feel sorry for bitches and leeches like that??  I hope she drowns.

As we know in our business, 80% of our revenue is generated by 20% of our book.  I appears to me, in a reverse sense, that the 20% of New Orleans that remained in the city represents the 20% of society that is not generating anything useful and is a basic drag on society.

I know this sounds really cold, but I am a realist.  I compared it to cleaning the refrigerator.   During the cleaning process you have to throw out the scummy vegetables that have hidden in the back of the drawer, the half used jar of salsa that has green slime on top, and remove the apples that have started to go bad while saving the good apples.  When you are done the fridge is clean, organized and healthy.  I am NOT advocating that we as a society purposly clense our "refrigerator" (so to speak).  I am merely observing this seems to be a process that is occuring now in this disaster. And yes, it is cold, but it might be a good thing in the long run.

What you describe sounds like ethnic cleansing or even worse genocide.
