After a tornado in Texas or Kansas you can drive five miles and buy supplies but you cannot do so in New Orleans. While these people may have made a poor decision before the storm, they have to loot to survive. They are welcome to my stuff. Winn-Dixie grocery said they were welcome to there stores to take what is needed.

Why do you care what they take and who they take it from?

Its the fact that stealing, LOOTING is wrong. If the locals have given the merchandise away its a different story. Either way I will see a jump in prices at the local store, Wally world, and the gas pump because of the simple demografics of this disaster and the way that the insurance machine works. I have tried to distance myself from it but 80% of the population lives within 50 miles of the ocean and I didnt want to live in that kind of population density and I just chose a place to live that would never be desroyed by the sea. (If it gets up here to KS we are all in deep!!)

You were smart to get out.

What does loading a SUV full of DVD players have to do with survival?
