You ARE an idiot. Don't be mad because I'm stating the obvious. I can compile a list of my points that you're apparantly too stupid to comprehend. I NEVER said anyone would rape, murder, or even loot. what I DID say, was that you CANNOT say you would or would not do those things in that situation.
Aparrantly you're also either too ignorant or again, too stupid to realize in a situation as such, "rational thinking" takes a back seat to the basic instinct to survive. Now I'm sure, as you've done so eloquently already, you will decide to try to put words in my mouth by saying i'm now advocating that raping and robbing people are survival instincts, so allow me to nip it in the bud. I'm not. In ANY crisis situation of this magnitude there will ALWAYS be predatory people looking to take advantage of it. This crisis being in New Orleans (not known as a crime-free city anyway) makes the situation potentially more explosive then say, Hartford Connecticut. It's bound to happen though very unfortunate
If you knew ANYTHING about New Orleans, you'd know the 9th ward is one of the most ghetto areas of NOLA, if not the worst ghetto in the city, probably in the entire southeast region as well. Magnolia projects (the nolia), Calliope projects... where the majority of New Orleans rappers come out of (the shit they rap about really does go on down here) aren't exactly resort destinations and already have an absurdly high crime rate to begin with. Like I said, this shit would STILL be going on if Katrina didn't hit. Just the fact that 5,000 news organzations are now focused on the city people get to see what most of New Orleans is ACTUALLY like. 90% of the world has only ever seen the French Quarter. The FQ comprises maybe 5% of the city, the rest is pretty fuckin shitty. You're apprantly one of those people.
So again, so we're clear. I'm NOT condoning anything they're doing, I'm not excusing it nor am I defending it. I'm just saying, until your ignorant ass is stuck on a roof for what will be 7 days now with no food or water, in 105° + degree heat, surrounded by dead, floating bodies, human waste and all types of bacteria in 6' of water, you CANNOT say you wouldn't do the same thing.
You can't. PERIOD You may like to THINK you wouldn't, but you most assuredly cannot say for certain you wouldn't. Sorry
