123. Were not talking about looting pampers and groceries
We're talking about looting in general. You can try to frame the debate around the humanitarian benefits of looting post natural disaster, but I'm still not buying it.

Cameramen were on the streets filming it. People were on the streets looting it. Tell me they never once saw an offical that could have helped them find what they needed.

I'd agree with you if NO abandoned it's citizenry for a few days or a week. No humanitarian supplies. No rescues. No shelters. No food. Then, I'd say fuck the Govt it's survival mode. But we havn't reached that point yet, and I highly doubt we are going to get there.
