as a loss on their business. Is it better for folks stressed to have some food some new sneakers and some watches and such that would have been lost in the flooding muck and mire? What are these people going to do with this stuff given the dires straights NO is in?
And for folks who are hungry or need baby formula, diapers, or maybe even sanitary products to see the stuff in the stores with the water rising they might figure...why not have folks who can use it take it before it's buried in the floods.
I don't in any way condone looting...but when everything is going to be lost anyway and the owner can take a tax write off why are the Media so Obssessed with this?
Folks stealing from each other outside New Orleans is another matter, though. Theives who raid home of folks who've evacuated to steal electronics and other things besides food would seem terrible to me. As bad a profiteers as the Corporate Whoere CEO's who steal from their employees for their Perks.
So ...I guess folks can throw brick bats at me for what I say, but if it's food and personal products then I can understand some of that. I just don't think the media needs to obsess over it. Let the police handle it in their way. :shrug:
