Amazing as it may seem, this was probably an inside job. It wasnt reported for 11 days....

Nobody said that everyone in Japan had morals, but given the choice to take $500k with almost zero chance of being caught, a lot of people would, Japanese or not.

You may now go back to saving the rainforest in Harlem


It's not my agenda. 

It was Bucknuts, and it blew up right in his face.

And the rest of the bigots on this site had a field day in his thread taking potshots at blacks in the wake of a natural disaster across the world. They'll come up with anything...

As I said, I do not blame them for looting. All of us here would be doing it, not just blacks.


Oh! Look what I found!!!!

Scalabrine, I love reading or getting involved in logical debates, but 90% of your posts are garbage.  As smart as you think you are, the dumber you actually appear.  You seem fairly educated with your good grammar and spelling, but it only takes perusing a few posts to realize how clueless and pathetic you are due to continuous lack of knowledge and substance.

Sooooo

You are comparing thousands and thousands of looters stealing electronics clothes jewelry etc. vs. an individual or two who took money from an open vault.

Also how do you know the individual that took the money was Japanese? Could be an American-European, Italian, Hispanic etc.

Your argument is weak...as usual

not exactly 60" LCD televisions and size 14 Jordans huh?

all scalabrine is posting are speculated stories. amazingly no actual footage of these crimes happening. unlike katrina and the various riots where people were just waiting to take advantage of a bad situation and it is all documented with video.


Your absolutely right! Whites were damn sure to tape the black guy with the pair of sneakers in Katrina. 

Of course, in my OP, whites were photographed as well but those photos were not even remotely as widely publicized, if at all. (this is probably the FIRST time many of you saw such a photo).

Japanese citizens are little more concerned with radiation at this point than whipping out a cell phone don't ya think?

And that disproves the looting? Because camera phones aren't showing the world the looting?

I've posted two articles, one of which made it all the way to yahoo, that there is looting in Japan, yet because of cognitive dissonance, the posters of this thread are STILL in denial.

Do you even have any idea why the 1960's riots in Detroit began? What event happened before any riots occurred?

Can you inform the thread after you educate yourself?

Nice play with semantics...

Not gonna work here...

You are looting a bank in that situation...

If we call it robbing, then we can say everyone in Katrina who looted actually 'robbed' and we are back to square one...

Looting is a nice buzzword for the media to use to make a distinction between black and white 'takers'.

Just making a point about another thread that indicated there was NO LOOTING in Japan and the subsequent field day covers members had disparaging blacks in the process.

There WAS LOOTING in Japan (and there will be more) and it is perfectly reasonable! These people are trying to survive and we all would do it: black, white, asian, etc...

It's more than 'an individual' looting in Japan now as I posted in #53.

And why are blacks only taking shoes and dvd players. Why? Because that is what you have been conditioned to think they took by the media.

Did they take that? Probably! But they also took food. And when you are trying to survive, in NO or Japan, is it looting when you take food?

The bottom line is this: EVERY CITIZEN OF EVERY COUNTRY would loot in this situation and as you can see, they are looting in Japan. 

It's not just those violent, lazy, aggressive, unemployed blacks! (again, your conditioning coming into play)

Twenty minutes?!?!?!? 


Please, show me the white guy who standing by the levies when they were compromised and then ran to the downtown foot locker to time when the first window was broke by the black man twenty minutes later!

What a trooper!

Scally, didn't the 67 riot in Detroit start over a bar raid or some goofy shit like that? My uncle lives in Dearborn and I remember him saying something about it starting at a bar.

Can you explain why it took close to a week for the " looting " ( even though it sounds more like opportunism to me )  to begin in Japan and why it took perhaps 5 minutes for the systematic crime spree in New Orleans?

Care to explain " conditioning " in regards to this discrepancy?

the scale of criminal activities in Japan is probably a lot less than what went on in NO after Katrina.  as for Detroit, man made disasters are just as catastrophic as natural ones.  look at Exon Valdez or 911 or the BP oil spill in the Gulf.

The article you linked in post #53 talks about people looting food water gasoline etc. which anybody would do when millions of people are displaced for sheer survival.

That is a far cry from looting a big screen TV or a pair of the latest nike's.

But hey you got the negative attention you desire out of this post.

Well played sir even though your argument is invalid.

Also I live in Los Angeles and I remember very vividly the looting that took place. Everybody was trying to "get theirs". I worked at the LA County Probation Department at the time.

Trust me they were not looting food or water for survival nor was I "conditioned" by the media. I saw first hand what was going on. Hell even some of my coworkers at the time were bragging about the "free99 electronic sale going on" in south central.

My aunt lived in a fringe area of South LA at the time. While they didn't loot in her neighborhood I went to her house because she was afraid. I watched in disgust as her neighbors returned from their pillaging with armfuls of clothing, a big screen and random items bragging about their exploits. It was pitiful.
