I'll take the AK. Just pulling one of those out seems to get the message across.

Great post my friend. I find this statement to be the difference between Texans (especially native Texans) and other places. Texans by nature are more likely to help their neighbors then any place else.

Just yesterday I was searching Craigslist looking for a Horse to purchase. There were so many ads asking for those who need to bring their Horses to safety are welcome at no charge. Many farms or even large property owners well inland with stables were asking anyone who needed to to bring their Horses to safety were welcome.

Some even said to bring their RVs. Yes there are still some people on this earth who will do anything to help their fellow man......and animal.

I thought that was awesome !!!

Yeah, that's right, no looters. And also no gangs, drug dealers, rapists, child molesters, racists, crooked politicians, con artists, fly-by-night businesspeople, shyster lawyers, greedy preachers, nor dishonest car salesmen. It's all one big, honest, happy family...

Default Looting under cover

Last night Don Lemon on CNN said "we now have a video on looting in Texas" the video never came on and he looked confused so went to another subject. I kept watching to see if it would be shown but it wasn't.

I took Perry's statement to mean that amateurs would not be tolerated.

Here the churches, bankers, lawyers, corporations, and gubbermint types tend to have most of looting and the rest of your list handled.

Just like hookers -- If you want the job done right -- hire the professional.
