Desperate times call for desperate measures. But, looting is not the answer. I can understand stealing food or diapers not flat screen TVs. When the whole world has crashed around you, sometimes you feel helpless and frantic to help provide for your family. However, pictures we are all seeing are enough to make me sick. One of our local Houston TV reporters was in New Orleans as people openly took advantage of the horrible situation and grabbed whatever they wanted. Our reporter even talked to these people who willingly said they had a right to steal and would do it again. I cant even compare these people to animals. Animals have more respect. They only take to survive. The looters may think they have a right but in the longer run we are all hurt by these people.

Deplorable situation. First they don't evacuate when told to do so, then they feel they have a right to steal from others who did. Sometimes human nature just sickens me.
i agree with both of you. those 'things' are disgusting.
I can understadn being forced to steal food and bottled water or essential medicines -but tvs when there is no electricity is impossible to comprehend.
Well said.
