This writer is a nut. The pictures are of black people looting because BLACK PEOPLE ARE LOOTING!! To try and intimate otherwise or excuse it is ridiculous.
I have my suspicions about some of the looters. If these people had any sense, they would have left or gone to a shelter when they were told. Instead, they decided to stay on their own. It makes me wonder how many of these people actually made that decision for the very PURPOSE of looting post-disaster.
Finally, if a disaster struck suddenly and I was left with absolutely nothing to provide for my children, I'm not sure I wouldn't take some water or bread from an abandoned store. Knowing myself though, I'd probably leave a polite note with my name and assurances that I would pay for everything later. LOL
It's like those plane crash survivors who ate other passengers. You do what you have to do to survive.
Food and water is fine to take if you are in a survival situation.I think any reasonable person agrees to that .Taking computers , jeans , TV ..Shoot em >
