Is there something fundamentally wrong with the brains of those working in the national media? How else can you explain these very highly paid individuals discussing, often in the same sentence, that people in Haiti have been without food or water for days, and then expressing shock and horror that there is “looting” going on.
Listen very carefully. I’ll take it slowly so even a Grade-A fucktard (or idiot man-child) can follow along: when you take food and water from a collapsed store, food and water that you need to survive, it’s not looting. It’s survival.
By this the media model, everyone should just die quietly right next to palette after palette of water and potted meat product. After all, that stuff doesn’t belong to me. I’ll just sit here and quietly dehydrate, thanks.
Looting, in the traditional sense, applies to a riot or, perhaps, a war. Amidst mayhem, you spot a Best Buy and say “fuck it, at least I’m getting a TV out of this” and you break in there and take it. That’s looting. Strangely enough, that sort of thing doesn’t appear to be high on the list of things happening in Haiti. Where there’s no electricity.
Let’s review:
- 50" flat screen TVs: looting
- Food and/or water: not so much. That’s called survival.
Fucking imbeciles.
