I don;t understand something. On the one hand, people are being rescued from roof tops; yet in other areas they are running around looting...is it just that they are different areas of NO?

Obviously. The ones on rooftops are in subdivisions of single family homes,at least that is the case in the videos I've seen. The looters are in the business district and probably are apartment dwellers who had no money and no way out of town.

Of course, this does not excuse their behavior. But if you don't own anything yourself, perhaps you don't have scruples against stealing waht you want. I read reports earlier about people smashing the windows and removing burglar bars on Canal Street and looting jewelry stores.
