Being concerned about looting in New Orleans in like being concerned about the looting that took place on the Titanic the night it sank.

BTW- I am a New Orleans property owned and had to evacuate myself. I don't care if my property is looted. Winn-Dixie does not care if their stores are looted. Why do you care so much?

Everything will be lost by loot or flood. What is the difference?

"Everything will be lost by loot or flood. What is the difference?"

Flooding is natural disaster, and looting is a national disaster.

Law and order vs anarchy...

Wait till the welfare checks and food coupons don't arrive on the first....you ain't seen nothing yet...

Because we care about the law and the breakdown of society. It isn't the property so much, as the behavior being displayed. THAT'S what's scary.....if all these people were doing was taking food and water, that would be one thing, but does someone need a plasma TV to survive? Something else that was bothersome was that the looting started before the storm even hit.

Property can indeed be replaced, memories can't be.....and society is shown to be very fragile when barbarians are on the loose. THAT'S why we care.

The difference is... you have decided to allow your property to be looted, those on either side of you may not have! Maybe they are of the belief that we live in a civilized society that have established rules and laws that keep us civil and respecting of other people and their property.
That you are just adding to the 'mob mentality' by letting them get a start.
Many of those people who survive, will be readjusted back into society(maybe next to your new house).

Your decision has consequences that are no longer just personal.

Glad to hear you got out and are safe.
