I agree. And since the government and emergency organizations have made it very clear that they are overwhelmed and not even able to provide the basic necessities for those in the major shelters, there's not much point in more citizens trying to "go" to them for help. Not that I can figure out how they would "go" -- telephone service, including cell, is virtually non-existent, most areas of the city are cut off from others by roads that are several feet under water.
People who are hungry and thirsty wouldn't be wise to set out on vague quests to find official sources of help. Many of those who are grabbing any supplies which might prove useful have elderly/infirm relatives and/or young children at whatever is left of their homes. Of course, many are also grabbing random stuff just for the hell of it, but I wouldn't want to see any "shoot on sight" operation when it's clear that a significant number of the "looters" really are in need and have good reason to believe that orderly and timely help from authorized sources is not forthcoming.
Does Greta have a SUV of food and water that she took from Aruba? Sorry, if my kids are starving I am going to loot before I ask the CNN Crew for a ham sandwich.
I don't think you are going to starve in a few days...the point being not to ask CNN for food but for them to pass the word that supplies are needed now...failing lawful methods, one must do what is necessary according to their conscience...thats why some people become cannibals and others don't.....will you just loot from stores or rob someone else who has food they need?
My points are:
What is wrong with looting property that will be destroyed whether it is at the store or in the looter's house that will be flooded?
Most of us would not loot for a TV but we would all loot if we had no other access to food and water.
On the contrary. I have a very good idea.
Taking the necessities of life is one thing. An honest man might well take such things if his or his family's survival depended on it. But an honest man would also keep a record of what was taken and offer to pay for it when circumstances permitted. But taking jewelry, cosmetics, and electronics devices? There is no excuse. None whatsoever.
It is disgraceful to give human beings license to descend to the depths of the most foul and dishonest behavior. Shame on you.
Do the words San Andreas Fault mean anything to you. . .?
Why do you call them animals? Animals don't loot.
Yes!
Don't try to justify such savagery to me. Ever. I was raised right; these animals weren't. They don't give a damn about living in a proper society. Stealing anything that isn't nailed down has NOTHING to do with "survival", pal.
You go pat their nasty little heads all you wish. Me........I say good riddance to bad rubbish.
Furthermore, you don't know a goddamned thing about what I have or haven't been through, and I've been through pretty bad situations in my life (including while having a houseful of young children to look after); I never stooped to such animal behavior. Save your judgment.
Let me ask you, if the police arrested them, where would they take them?
Without the law there's chaos?? BEING WITHOUT SHELTER, FOOD or WATER is real chaos. Stealing a few things is bottom of the list in my book.
ROLFMAO!!! Do you have ANY sense of humor...at all?
bttt
The liberals are in full control. God is watching!
I have such great sympathy for most of the victims. Then there are others like this.
After all the harassing you've engaged in against me and other Christians, I'm supposed to believe you're now engaging me in playful humor? I don't think so. I have a good sense of humor, but I don't find your hatred to be humorous in the least. Now, if the subject had been your IQ, I'd be rolling on the floor about now.
I 100% understand your frustration with these low-lifes... but PLEASE consider having funds directed to Convoy of Hope, as I assure you they will use the money to directly provide aid to many needy souls. More info here:

Thanks for listening.
Yep , I agree. Under these dire circumstances you need to pop a few looters.The word would spread and the animals would back off.I saw pictures on tv . The looters were having a ball , greedy criminal bastards. Impose martial law and take care of business. What low lifes , your neighbors are suffering and you spend your energy stealing a flat screen TV..
Shame on you ! Just because you lost everything doesn't give you permision steal or hate God, Those around you have also lost "EVERYTHIING! EVERYTHING."
