If people need food and water, I have no problem with them getting it.
In the south, particularly in New Orleans, the poor are mostly black so
obviously they couldnt evacuate so they need food and water. Those who
took color Tvs and microwaves will find its a long time before they can
ever use em.


Food and water, medicine and childcare supplies. Reasonable. Televisions
etc.? Scum. What is more frightening is that the scum have walked off with
every imaginable weapon sold in that city. If things don't improve rapidly
for everyone, people are going to start getting killed over a bottle of
water or a loaf of bread. And then when things do come under control, the
scum will continue to terrorize an economically devastated city long after
the water recedes.

I will bet there isn't a box of Oxycotin left in any drugstore in any
flooded section of New Orleans. Same for any other saleable drug. I
imagine there isn't much left of cold medicines that contain the
ingredient used for making meth either. I'll go further and bet that
beer, wine and whiskey stocks were all looted and gone before bread,
veggies and basic foodstuffs, too.

On one of the stations they showed looters in a grocery store filling bags with
various items. They panned across the marked 'liquor' section. Every shelf was
*completely) empty!
