Well considering the demographic, that isn't surprising... in any other place, it could have been the white overweight redneck cops.

It's just the media didn't think to check Best Buy, Circuit City, and Compusa. They'd have found all the geeks looting there. :p

That's where McOwen was, in between rounds of haranguing people on P&N.

Please take the next week off to think about personal bounds in "humor".

their union won't save them this time. i was reading an article earlier about nola's police unions and they aren't protecting deserters and looters.

My dad has a copy of it on VHS. I've watched it several times and see very little that would halt it's release.

Q. What is so "racial" about this movie?

A. The general objections lie in the depiction of African-Americans within the live action sequences of the film, such as stereotyping. Some also mistakenly believe the movie depicts slavery, and consequently believe that Disney tried to "sugarcoat" slavery. In the 1940's, the NAACP charged the film with giving the impression of "an idyllic master-slave relationship." For more information on the issues surrounding this film, please read my defense on the matter.
