Looting survival items is understandable. Looting of other stuff isn't. Looting from people's homes - those people need to die, now. And looting in general leads to an atmosphere of lawlessness that can make more violent crimes easier to contemplate.
Sadly, I'm not surprised. People start getting hungry, scared, and they become desperate. And then the criminal element uses the chaos to settle old scores and rule the ruins.
What also makes me mad is when I see pictures of people just sitting around DEMANDING that the government come and help them. We live in this handout society where people expect disaster management to be like ordering a pizza. People, the government cannot always protect you, cannot always help you. We all need to be able to protect our own families and communities.
I find it incredible that so many people were running out of food and water a day or two after this happened. It's not like they didn't know it was coming.
And why were so many people remaining behind in a MANDATORY evacuation?
And as for Fats Domino he'd better send a big, fat check to the relief effort, because it cost a lot of money and time to pull his big, fat ass out of the water.
By the way: this is why I own guns, this is why I'm in the NRA, why I stock lots of bottled water and keep batteries in the fridge. The government will not be able to help you when the smelly stuff hits the fan.
