NEW ORLEANS - Thieves hauled off $100,000 worth of heavy equipment that was being used to help build a Lower Ninth Ward memorial to the victims of Hurricane Katrina.
A Bobcat excavator and a Bobcat T300 Skid Steer Loader, both of which require trailers or flatbed trucks to transport, were removed from the site sometime between midnight and 6:30 a.m. Saturday, construction company officials said.
In the neighborhood that remains nearly pitch black at night almost a year after the levees failed, the equipment didn't last three days at the site.
Can you really blame them???? Almost a year and no fucin homes put up and some assholes are tryin to build a memorial for the dead people (no disrespect) and sayin fuc the ones that are alive, I would have stole the equipment too. Why the hell are they even building a memorial in a town where anyone that its "SUPPOSED" to be for isnt even there to see it because they are out of a home and jobs, what the fucs the purpose????

Quoted from popkin "Really, in a city with no eelectricity, no running water, no food why do you need to steal 20 boxes of Nike shoes? I saw that on nattional tv last year. I would have been stealing food."
Simple answer because you have NOTHING, why steal food thats going to spoil unless you eat it in a few hours when you can steal 20 pairs of shoes and make 3 to 400 dollars and buy food as you need it

Well, if you DO steal, like these CRIMINALS did, I hope that you are caught, prosecuted and jailed for grand larceny, the same as these thieves should be. That will put you behind bars for a LONG time. Think about it.
Yea thats about the only way anyone from there is gonna get the government to help them have a home which is a fucin shame. Let it happen to your city and they take this long, youd be one pissy diapered fucer

I applaud the thieves!! It is not time to build 'monuments', rather it is time to rebuild a city.

Yeah, i did not see that interior the TP and that i study it each day. No genuine wonder, yet I firmly trust that the decrease 9 has each and every probability at restore as do different, a lot less not user-friendly hit neighborhoods. electorate ought to go back and should be a component of the restore procedure. No exceptions, no waiting for handouts. this suggests rolling up your sleeves and cleansing up your position, your block, your community. Wanna blame Nagin? attempt back! New Orleans has been broke and without sound preparation, sound political tactics for decades. Wanna anticipate Entergy to swing via and turn on your ability, per chance pour you some iced tea? per chance Bellsouth will also come over and rip out your drywall?? This city is overrun with a inhabitants that may not shelter themselves, and considering of this apparently like it does after 12 months. Come force down my highway. I took 4 ft of water. My highway looks solid. maximum each and every man or woman is back. I %. up the trash interior the line. buddies made and hung highway warning signs. I mow the impartial floor. it truly is the way it particularly works.

It was probably the same ones shown on tv who were hauling off everythng they could get their hands on. Really, in a city with no eelectricity, no running water, no food why do you need to steal 20 boxes of Nike shoes? I saw that on nattional tv last year. I would have been stealing food. But I wouldn't have been stupid enough no to evacuate when a category 4 was heading my way.

Unfortunately this is why the city is not being rebuilt as fast as other places. The crime level is entirely too high. I have heard that everywhere that alot of the refugees have gone crime has increased also. That is sad because this was chance for them to change their lives. I understand many of them didn't have anything to begin with but with the out pouring of aid and help from other communities they could have been working on a better life.
I spent the summer on a mission trip helping in the beaumont area where the storm did alot of damage also and they did not get nearly the amount of help new orleans did but the people pulled together to use their resources to do as much as they could instead of ronning each other blind.

Dude, I guess I'd be pissed to, but unfortuneatly right now New Orleans is not the only place in America that's Fuced as you put it. And some people may want to remember their loved ones, People who are still alive have the option to leave, the deceased don't, have some respect for the dead

Maybe instead of stealing equipment, they should be adding their efforts to the rebuilding (if that is the reason they stole it).

they should just flood the whole area. another hurricane will do it. i don't want my tax dollar bailing out a city that is doomed. why not relocate the city and allow nature to take its course.
