One thing I would say is that I wouldn't lump someone who "loots" food in the same category with someone who loots home electronics. I'm not faulting anyone who's after the basics of life under these circumstances - particularly if those goods are otherwise going to find their way to the landfill.
Condoms? Hey that's very safety conscious...I mean what are you going to do when there is no TV, RAdio, phone?
Sudafed might help allergies....hard to set up a meth lab with no electricity. I'm not saying I would be looting..but anyone who is in that Hell Zone is hardly thinking or behaving clearly. I would rather see people taking "things" than taking it out on each other with violence.
I heard on Fox that the Wallmarts invited people to come in and take whatever they needed. Like what are these stores going to do with most of the supplies after 2 months? Also that many are sharing things they take. Besides, what are they supposed to do? Go to the checkout counter and "buy' the condoms, diapers or TP? there aren't any functioning businesses ANYWHERE in NO.
Let's keep a perspective. This is not rioting and violence.
