Anyone, regardless of race that does this needs to be taken out!

"An eye for an eye makes the whole world BLIND." This is exactly the reason our world is in the mess it's in. We have this hit me and I'll hit you back mentality.

We don't know why people are shooting at releif workers. Remember we weren't physically there to "see" and "hear" exactly what happened. Who knows? Those same releif workers may be trying to make bargains for that same plasma TV in exchange for food. It's easy for our media to flip the script and make things appear to be what it's not. The same way they cut Kanye off after his statement. Don't be fooled.

People won't shoot unless you give them a reason to. In this case it may be self defense or a method of survival. Maybe someone is taking that "big assed plasma TV" to exchange for food, with someone who actually think they can plug the thing in somewhere, so they can feed their children. We don't know, because we're not there. We sit in the comfort of our homes watching on tv what the media wants us to see.

It's important that we don't spend our energy speaking on what we don't know, and spend it on finding ways to help. Because the same way it happened in those cities, it could have happened where you are. Maybe not a hurricane, but some other natural disaster like a blizzard or an earthquake. Who knows? I don't know where you are, but natural disasters happen everywhere and we must always remember that!

Don't allow ignorance to lead you through this world. It won't get you very far. I challenge you to think outside of the box. Remember we don't know. They're there, and we're here...
