FOOD - not big-screen tvs, dvd players, electronics that aren't going to work anyway because there's no power, trays of jewelry and rolexes...
And under NO circumstance would I lower myself to (alone or in gangs) going around terrorizing people, murdering them (unless I were defending myself or my family), and raping them.
I'm sorry, but there is NO excuse for that. Absolutely none.

I never excused it. But I can guarantee you this, you absolutely cannot say what you would or would not do unless you're experiencing the situation yourself. dehydration, lack of food, potentially being infrcted with random virii and sitting in the sweltering (and i do mean sweltering) heat for 6 days tends to impair ones judgment. If you think otherwise I suggest you learn a little about physiology
If the only thing standing between you and a bottle of water that could potentially and most likely keep you alive, you'd kill for it. You can't deny that you would, it's a basic survival instinct and I'm fairly certain 98.3% of the people here would do the same. Sorry, but if it comes down to you, me and one bottle of water that's gonna keep one of us alive... sorry but you're probably gonna die if you even try for that water. I dont know you, I'm worried about myself and my family and if I had to kill someone to keep my family alive then I'm sorry for ya but ya gotta go.
New Orleans is lost for the most part, who the hell cares if some moron steals a TV? its not like he can plug it in and watch it, not like anyone who was actually stuck in new orleans had money to buy it from them. It most likely wound up just being left behind since evacuees aren't allowed to bring 42" plasma's on the helicopters and anyone with anything "new looking" is being detained. Insurance will cover it for the vendors, they have no way of knowing what floated away and what didnt so what's the problem? Premiums were going up regardless so you can forget that excuse....
why not, instead of keeping your head lodged in your ass you worry about the shit WORTH worrying about. Getting the people who want to be rescued and need to be rescued out of new orleans. Theres thousands of people stranded for a week in new orleans, you're worried about someone stealing some fucking nike's. could your priorities be any more out of whack?
