Katrina and the looters..

it breaks my heart to hear and see all the damage and deaths..but then to see the looters ..it makes me crazy. How can a person be that fucked up to loot a store or a home during such a horrible time in everyone's life in that part of the country? How could they be that screwed up? It's beyond me..i can not figure out how they can rationalize this type of action. People have no food, water, housing or electricity and yet there are individuals that are looting.... i am never ever going to be able to grasp the callousness of people.

Sorry, I'm on the peace warpath. This disaster should never have happened to the extent it did, and the necessary infrastructure C&C resources were over making Dick & Co. rich.

And Dusty, you're dead on; it's not scavanging. Why is it that these things bring out the worst in people?; 8/31/2005 07:39:00 AM
