If they have lost everything, everything then where are they taking all this stuff to? And why computers, jewelry and all the other non-essentials they're running off with? I may not know exactly how I would react in every situation but I'm reasonably sure I wouldn't throw away every last scrap of humanity and civilization. People didn't do that after 9/11 and no one knew THAT was coming. And the looting started BEFORE the hurricane hit. There's no excuse for LOOTING!
OK, OK...nobody is condoning looting the big ticket items. We all know it is a small minority doing this and to withhold help because of that is mean and unjustified.
