...lawlessness however builds as we see with the cop shooting. So the issue isn't really whether looting is morally heinous...it's how far they'll allow lawlessness to grow.

Crazy is contagious.

There are people (white and black) in NO that will shoot you in broad daylight for looking at them the wrong way on a good day. There are whole neighborhoods that even the cops don't want to go in, and places they are paid to stay out of. Some of the NO projects make Cabrini-Green look like Disneyland. This looting we are seeing on TV is just a little fun for them.

When the food and water starts getting low, this "fun" will turn ugly. That seems to already be starting to happen with the gun-battle near the French Quarter.

But it is really going to get ugly when the drugs start to run out.

That does sound crazy...I've never been to NO, and hope there will still be a NO to see. Sounds like a job for Giuliani down there.

Personally I'm wondering how the good people of Huston feel about taking in these huges numbers to the Astro dome. I imagine if you're on pulic assistance it doesn't much matter where you live.
