[Diddle E. Squat]

A certain amount of order will have to be resored before effective evacuations in the neighborhoods can be implemented on any large scale.

Not really, no one is shooting at the rescuers. A stolen TV is not going to hamper rescue efforts in the least. At most they just need to keep their boats from being swamped.

[Jeff Head]

There have been reports of shooting and there have been reports of sporting good stores looted.

Sorry...but a certain amount of order does need to be established. Two reasons...for the security of the rescuers, and equally importantly, because it is definitely going to take time and if lawlessness is not curbed, the types of things I mentioned in 1060 will begin to occur.

It is not my intent to get into a drawn out debate or arguement...or to be rude or demeaning. I made a statement. I stick by it four-square. You disagree with some (or all) parts of it. That's fine.
