People keep saying it's not a black or white issue, yeah right, two photos they showed on the news last night, one showed a black couple carrying pepsi and chips from a store and said looting still continues! The second couple, white, were carrying a loaf of bread and juice, the title read, people are shopping for basic necessities(sp) in times of crisis. Interesting, how that works, huh?
I don't agree with people stealing plasma tvs and nike shoes, but if I don't understand A). How some of these people didn't make appropriations, (i.e. a backpack with some bottled water, or at least a container with some faucet water in it to get you by, and possibly a can of food or something that wouldn't get wet, then B). If my child was starving and aid was not coming anytime soon, I would go into one of those stores, write an IOU, leave my name, address and information, and list what I took, to provide for what I could. If I was arrested, then at least I would know they were taking me somewhere, instead of sitting in the crappy superdome.
We, including, myself, can all sit here and speculate, but we're up here in dry Maryland, we don't know what these people are going through.
Good one!
