CAPTION:

People who used a mail truck to escape the flooded areas of New Orleans East are forced to lie on the highway by Texas game wardens August 31, 2005. The people were freed but forced to continue on foot.

What did these people do wrong?

They stopped and pulled over.

You DO NOT mess with mail delivery in any way, shape or form.

Dude, these people are escaping with THEIR LIVES. So they used a mail truck, that was probably their only way out, big freaking deal.

USPS=GOVERMENT

They had pot in the van, and the cops were fresh out of blunts, so they had to search the guys.

well they escaped the flood already. i know lives WERE at stake but you think the government shouldn't reclaim government property? you think they should let them keep it for another 2 years?

I think they are just trying to dry out in the sun. I heard it got kind of wet where they came from!

BS! The picture shows they clearly have feet. If you can walk stealing government property is rarely an acceptable alternative.

 

[meltdown75]

i think they were just trying to deliver the mail. what's the big deal?

 

[illusion88]

They should count themselves lucky all they lost was their stolen truck. At least tehy arent in jail.

EDIT: I would be willing to bet that most judges would let them off light, in light of the circumstances.
EDIT2: With any luck one of them will get heat stroke and get seriously injured. Then they can claim police brutality or cruel and unusual punishment.

 

[FleshLight]

Did they "loot" or "find" that mail truck?

$10,000 fine for every piece of mail in the truck.

not die but not steal gov. property. if stealing gov. property was their only recourse AT ALL, then yes they should die because it's obvious they aren't fit to live. if they were they would have taken proper actions to live (getting outta town by walking, in thtat superdome, et cetera...)

 

[Ronstang]

After viewing the picture is it not obvious to all you bleeding hearts what happened? These idiots STOLE a government vehicle. They are lucky they were simply let go.

BTW...in Texas at least, the Game Wardens have statewide jurisdiction and more power than any other peace officer. They are not someone you want to mess with if you can help it.
