Hurricane Harvey - Houston at the moment...

[Vince G, CSN MFT]

That's bullshit, Vince. Stealing is stealing. As far as the federal support for NO, you can thank that POS mayor for that that the left tried to pin on Bush

So for people in Houston - how bad is this?  A lot of people are saying that the mayor of Houston didn't bother even with any evacuations near the rivers??

Houston is being inundated with "unprecedented" devastating flooding after ferocious Hurricane Harvey set in over southeast Texas this weekend, dumping torrential rain on the city, with no end in sight. ABC News meteorologists are forecasting historic rainfall totals up to 50 inches by Wednesday.
Heavy rain bands are expected to continue to move in over Houston overnight, which will continue the catastrophic and life-threatening flash-flood emergency in the area.

This is certainly unprecedented flooding for houston and it looks to get worse over the next few days if the rain continues.

Houston flood regularly and honestly it depends a lot on where the rain dumps. From what i hear the mayor wanted to avoid a repeat of the issue we had when i think it was Ike hit a few years ago. Tons of people tried to evacuate and as a result the freeways backed up and people ran out of gas and gridlocked the freeways. I know a number of people died as a result of it and they felt it would be better to stay and shelter in your home.

Last i heard only 2 people have died here in houston, its not over and i am certain that number will rise but 2 people for all the flooding we have had isn't bad at this point.

Most anywhere you choose to live nature can wreck havoc. Some places are more prone to this than others. In Portland, OR there is occasional flooding, windstorms, freezing rain, snowstorms, earthquakes and the threat of Mt. Hood erupting. In the meantime we have, on average, 144 days of sunshine and 100 days of precipitation in a year. In 1962, the devastating Columbus Day Storm, also known as The Big Blow, produced 179 mph winds.

Isn't Big Blow also your nickname at the glory hole?

When black people break into a store during a disaster for food, water, shoes, and other necessities....its called looting.  When white people do it, its called provisioning.  


Fact is that no more people were actually looting than with any other disaster but don't forget that people in New Orleans went days without any federal support or assistance

So the day after Katrina black people needed big screen TVs as necessities?

What a load of horseshit.

I guess the blacks in Ferguson weren't looting either, they were just distraught because big Mike Brown never got to become the head of NASA?

I didn't say there wasn't any looting....its just that it was grossly exaggerated.  The amount of looting during Katrina was no different than any other disaster

Yes, I'm sure you mean natural disasters....like after the Cops versus Rodney King verdict was announced?

You are so full of shit.

LA Riots is not a disaster.....its a fucking riot.  Of course there's going to be widespread looting.  In a natural disaster, people are more worried about living than looting

People who live in Gulf states are well aware of the potential storm risks, yet they still choose to live there. 

Some are born there and all of their family lives there. Not everyone picks up and leaves under those conditions.

Black people breaking into a store is called a daily routine:

The race/ethnicity of known Robbery suspects is primarily Black (69.2%). Hispanic suspects account for an additional (24.9%) of the suspect population. White suspects account for (4.0%) of all Robbery suspects while Asian /Pacific Islanders accounted for (1.8%) of known Robbery suspects

Are there any Getbiggers that I need to worry about?

"In Texas we know how to take care of ourselves. If you plan on looting a business  or breaking into someone's home, make sure you write somewhere on your body your name and birthdate so we can identify you when you get shot" (paraphrased) - Gov Greg Abbott

where did you find this bullshit?

sounds like someone took the quote from the mayor of Rockport  which had nothing to do with looters getting shot

Residents who did not evacuate a Texas coastal town ahead of Hurricane Harvey have been asked to write their name and social security number on their arm to help identify their bodies.
Rockport, Texas, Mayor Pro Tem Patrick Rios said Friday morning at a news conference that residents who are still in town should prepare for the worst.
'We’re suggesting if people are going to stay here, mark their arm with a Sharpie pen with their name and Social Security number,' Rios said, as a way for people to identify themselves in case something happens to them during the major hurricane.
'We hate to talk about things like that. It's not something we like to do but it’s the reality, people don’t listen.'

I'm watching the news and I see many, many men out in this horrific rain saving people and their pets from the flooding.

But I don't see one woman rescuing anyone.

Why aren't there any loudmouth feminist bitches who want equality out in the storm helping people?

Didn't find anywhere. It was a direct quote from Aabott as my wife and I were driving listening (to Hannity or Levin, can't remember at the moment) in an interview. The subject of looting was brought up, that was his answer.

[Purge_WTF]

 I'm praying for the people. I can only imagine what this is going to do to gas prices and the economy at large.

If it's something you heard then the likelihood he never said it just tripled

Your complete lack of common sense is legendary you fuckwit.
