Yep. New Orleans, steal generators from the people trying to rescue you, then shoot at the people might save your life once the cholera starts.
Note: A small number of criminals are doing the shooting. The NG should just gun them down. Bring in snipers if need be.
And this differs from, say, Liberia, exactly how?
This is not just a New Orleans thing, I'm afraid. There's a reason why the first -- FIRST! -- thought of some of these animals was to start looting. In Biloxi, the looters were out even as the storm was still blowing!
After this is all over, this nation has to do some very serious thinking about the psychotic culture that has been allowed to fester and spread in the inner cities. It has got to be stopped.
