SmallIsPower Posted July 11, 2006 Author Share Posted July 11, 2006 I realise that, but I asked a bunch of local activists if they'd heard of it, they said no, and given the egregious and bizzare nature of the crime, I felt it was worth posting. Here is something new, the cops were cleared by their department, while others got 15 years for looting a grocery market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pangloss Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 It was quite a big story at the time, and it had some interesting and unexpected ramifications. I seem to recall at one point Wal-Mart (and perhaps Home Depot and some others) announcing that all local law enforcement were given carte blache to use whatever resources they could find in their half-destroyed stores, essentially exonerating them from any further charges of looting, as well as protecting their stores from further damage in the process by ensuring police presence in the area. I believe one department even based itself out of a local Wal-Mart during the aftermath crisis. I'm curious as to why would this be significant to "a bunch of local activists"? Was it considered ammunition of some sort, and if so, for what purpose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
