Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Monday, March 08, 2010

The officers came with bullhorns to impoverished neighborhoods near the epicenter of Chile's devastating earthquake, warning looters to return what they stole or face police raids. And so they did, depositing everything from mattresses to refrigerators and flat-screen TVs. It took 35 truckloads to recover it all. Together with looted merchandise recovered by police, the material is worth nearly $2 million, officers said.

They found out TVs and computers and stereos need a little thing called electricity.

Wow.. nobody promoting this as the model for post-catastrophe relief?

Chileans obviously have more class than Americans.

Uh, they enforce consequences in Chile

Tax them at 79% on the returns.

That will encourage more of them to return stuff too.

If we bring those Chilean police into the country with their bullhorns and let them threaten looters in front of the White House and Capital, maybe Obama, Congress, Geithner and Bernanke will stop looting the treasury and return all the money they stole from us.

They'd have a LOT of stops to make first picking up the $7 Trillion dollars that disappeared into thin air during GW Bush's Presidency.

I wonder if they could do the same thing in New Orleans...
