Hurricane Sandy brought out the worst yesterday in some sleazy New Yorkers, who looted stores and homes across the city.
Some posed as Con Ed workers to dupe their victims.
Police arrested more than a dozen looters in the Rockaways and Coney Island, which had been evacuated, and stood guard outside ravaged stores at the South Street Seaport.

“If you are trying to say that everyone is imperfect and sinful, I agree.”
Yes, that’s exactly my point. We all have an imperfect nature, and therefore, the same capacity to do evil like looting a store is inside you and me and everyone else.
“We are not all tempted by exactly the same things.”
Yes, I suppose that is true, but the temptations that you may struggle with are no more noble than anyone else’s. We might think, well, I’d never be tempted to do THAT thing, but it’s all the same to God.

It’s NYC - citizens are essentially barred from owning guns. :P
Those troops are reserved for people who still have incandescent bulbs or who take the flow restrictor out of their showerheads.
The Sullivan Act. But there are still New Yorkers who have guns legally, many who are police officers living in Breezy Point and also retired Police Officers.
