The situation is getting worse down there. Hard to believe that it is
possible in a western civilized city, that such lawlessness is taking over.
I thank God that I have never known such desperation that is causing this
type of behaviour. I sure hope these people get the help they need soon.

I think a large part of the looting is simple desperation. If you have
not had food or drink for 2 or 3 days... As for the looters who are
going for greed - may they rot in hell.

I agree. Dehydration can cause strange behaviours at the best of times.
Toss in this situation and.. well they need to cut some slack methinks.

Absolutely. I don't hold it against people who are breaking into
stores to secure necessary items such as food, water, diapers, etc.;
if I were in their shoes, I'd do the same thing. The people who are
helping themselves to televisions and bling bling are another matter
entirely, of course.
