Cops arrest a typical american male-turned-looter
-------------

A wave a looters followed the Sandy storm surge in Coney Island,
creating a double-whammy for business owners trying to pick up the
obliterated pieces. The thieves started down Mermaid Avenue Tuesday
morning as the chest-high water receded, turning the seaside community
known for its hotdogs and tourist attractions into a lawless
free-for-all.

"People were running in and out of Rent-A-Center carrying these big flat
screens. They were holding on tight," said witness Aisha John, 20. "I
couldn't understand how someone could steal a big TV in broad
daylight, but no one cared.”

She said people were running out of a nearby Rite Aid with bags of
diapers and wipes.

"Look, they've been looting our wallets for too long," said a young male
who claimed he helped himself to a TV at the Rent-A-Center.

“It's about time we start taking this sh—back," the youth, who
identified himself as Jesse James, told the Daily News.

"It was complete lawlessness,” said Ron Troyano, owner of Joann’s
Discount Wine and Liquors on Mermaid Ave.

He said looters used tools to bust through his steel security gates
around 11:30 a.m. Tuesday.

The thieves then shattered his storefront and helped themselves to
thousands of dollars worth of top shelf liquor, he said.

"They pried open the gate, broke the glass and went straight for the
Hennessy and Grey Goose,” he said.

Police got a measure of control around 4 p.m. Tuesday, but two cops
positioned outside Joann’s into the night failed to stop more looters
from sneaking in through the roof, Troyano told The News.

"They broke right in through the roof while the cops were standing
outside. It's unbelievable. They were passing bottles down to each other
from the roof," he said.

Troyano said between the flooding and the plundering, his losses were
too high to easily calculate. He said he’s not sure when he’ll reopen.

"We are supposed to come together as a community during times of crisis,
not pick at each other like vultures," he said. "Next time I'm getting a
gun."

Looters also hit The Fresh Market five blocks down.

"They destroyed everything. They stole anything they could get their
hands on. Someone even ran off with the cash register," said employee
Fernando Mendoza as he picked up pieces of broken glass Wednesday.

"It was a mob of people. Fifty to a hundred. They were just running down
the street grabbing anything that wasn't nailed down," he said.

"They were literally walking out with shopping carts full of
merchandise. They didn't even look worried,” a Rite Aid employee who
declined to give her name told The News.

They looked like they were casually shopping," she said. "They looked
almost happy. I saw an elderly lady walking away with batteries and a
bag of Kit Kats.”

Yes, but we are really into conspicuous consumption. That's
important.

And that's different, how, from what Wall street and the bankers have been
up to for years?

After the hurricane hit Galveston, TX in 1900, looters who were caught had a
bag put over their heads, and then were shot.

I just heard on the radio a couple hours ago. The incidence of racism is
supposedly up, in the last four years. I guess you're following the popular
trend. My guess, we're just upset with all the socialism and fascism being
forced on us. By Democrats, and our affirmative action president. You know,
the half-white guy in Wash DC.

I'm not sure which are worse, the thieves on Wall Street or the thieves
in the ghetto?

What I really dislike is that my hard-earned tax dollars are used to
subsidize both.

Not just ghetto. When World War II ended, sailors returning to San
Francisco from the Pacific rioted and looted San Francisco for THREE DAYS.
Finally the National Guard had to be called in to stop the mayhem. This was
1945, remember, back in the days of "civility". And these were for the most
part white guyes. 1945.
