Storm victims face widespread looting

Apparently victims of hurricane Sandy are facing widespread looting.. especially in the NJ area. Citizens have taken to posting signs that they are armed. This photo appeared on Varney & Co's FB web page today.

Sure can't blame them. My feeling would be that the people need to get together and publicly hang a few looters from tree limbs and light poles.. that might make the A-holes go some place else.

I'm sure those poor unfortunates are only trying to feed their babies when they steal from you.
We should remain sensitive... <snort>
Makes you wonder what would happen in OUR backyard, doesn't it?!

Yep, those big screen HD TVs, stereo equipment, jewelry & computers will go along way to comfort poor teenage kids & young adults... who are probably already getting more in welfare benefits and other perks than most working people. [sarcasm]

The New York gangs set up looter groups who would go in, have lookouts, distractions, protection, and getaway all planned out like a bank job.
Professionally organized and ready before the storm even hit.
as soon as people were evacuated the game was on.
