Agreed. I was flamed like hell before for daring to say that the govt on all levels here is to blame with piss poor planning and logistics.

Shepard Smith onFox clearly said that they were prohibiting people from walking over the bridge. This call confirms that.

To me this is the height of criminal negligence on the part of the govt. At this point, can anyone blame anyone for looting food and supplies?

Reports of the cop breaking open the DVD case at Wal-Mart and people stealing tvs and computers sort of puts some of the looting in perspective.

Also reports of looters entering peoples homes and being caught in the act even with dead homeowners there. Efforts are being made to tag the homes with bodies (it is a health problem). The looters are out for booty in some cases. How much food do you need? Grab enough to get you by until you can get out of the area. I understand that no one know how long that is. Depends on if someone is marooned or not. Some roads may be long but if they are passable then it is best to get out.

The looting started before the storm had subsided. I wonder what's even left to loot, now that people really need it.

Damn straight - Maybe this S happens in Russia - but not my country - we take care of our own and the negligent oficials must be brought to justice.
