The only thing I wonder is why the "black leaders" justify such actions as the result of "oppression". In other words, if you are poor (and black?), then you are justified in stealing from your neighbor (be it a business or individual).
I would refuse to indict anyone caught stealing food, water, and within reason, clothing (after all, I don't know what these people lost). Desparate times call for desparate measures, but a Game Boy is not going to feed/clothe/protect anyone.
Another telling indication is that some of the most common and first thing(s) taken were guns/ammo. Were they for intended to protect or prey? Watch for the gun control nuts to come out in force.
"Watch for the gun control nuts to come out in force."
They are already there. I heard one liberal blame Wal-Mart for having the guns to be stolen.
I woyuldn't be so sure. For all the sniping going on, there were many more cases of personal pretection. I even saw instances of people chasing off looters on CNN!
