In fact, if criminal violence were indeed rampant in New Orleans after Katrina hit . . . Hell, criminal violence WAS rampant in N.O. BEFORE Katrina.

After Hurricane Hugo swept through St. Croix in 1989, leveling the place, residents cleaned out local stores and malls, even going so far as to remove the lighting fixtures. What made St. Croix different from Kobe, Japan following the 1995 earthquake or San Francisco after the quake of 1989?What indeed?

If it turns out there was less looting than reported, Nagin will look even worse.

"They took everything -- all the electronics, the food, the bikes," said John Stonaker, a Wal-Mart security officer. "The only thing left are the country-and-western CDs."

I other words no one has filled out a police report.
BTW-I've heard it's more like 50% of the cops who walked off the job.

No, that isn't true this sociologist tells us. It is merely a figment of our overheated imaginations.

created in large part by rumor and amplified by sometimes credulous reporters. Gee, Wally - you mean the MSM doesn't just report the facts?

What about my company's empty store? Everything that wasn't nailed down is gone. EVERYTHING, even my backup tapes.

I'm still waiting for the families of the multiple victims of child rape/murder in the Superdome to notice that their kids are missing.

What a load of crap. Trying to justify and downplay the crimes committed by so many people. Of course probably to some people it was their "right" to loot because they had been "oppressed" for so long.
