"A young man walks through chest deep flood water after looting a grocery store."

"Two residents wade through chest-deep water after finding bread and soda froma a local grocery store."

I don't get it. Why is the first guy a "looter" and the second pair a "finder"?

Back to looting
I have been watching footage most of the morning and see the folks lootong clothes and wading thru water waist deep what is the point the water is filth the new lotes are now drity and wet and there has been massive violence breaking out all over the city over the looting. I have seen cops catch looters make them take the stuff back and throw it in to the stores. The looting for food is eithr not being televised or it isnt happening any longer. Some of these folks have flooting bins they are putting stuff in. My main objsection to the looting is the violence that accompanies the looting.

@ Boris as soon as the leeves are pluged they will punch holes in the parts of levees that canhelp drain the water and have pumps that well work on that the same way. The news said it would be about 4 to 5 months to get all of the water out of the city

A looting woman was interviewed on Swedish TV4 News just some minutes ago. She had a shopping cart filled with food and toilet paper and told the reporter the police had told her to do it.

Some might be but it was just reported the police are firieng at looters in stores now. How idiotic is this. Both on the citizens and the police. I can only bet it is only gonna get worse

Oh to add one more thing on a good note from texas. The folks in the super dome are being evacuated to the astrodome in houston. As well as over 100 shelters set up in san antonio to house some of these folks.

I haven't heard of any firing.

And I saw the woman who said the police told her to loot. She didn't look like the type of woman to tell the truth. Yes I'm stereotyping. But she looked like the typical white trash on drugs (probably meth).

what punishment should fit this crime

its bad enough everybody gets hid hard by this

so just let me take a few things without asking,

1. it wont be missed
2. they have insurance


all these costs get passed onto the consumer in the long run

DONT DO IT

IMO 2-5 years in jail

Don't worry Dis, stereotyping white folks is perfectly ok.

CNN is using a more polite description:

Residents help clean up a store in Long Beach, Mississippi, that was wrecked by Katrina.

But perhaps they really ARE helping their friend, the shop owner?

[Lancer]

Yup! That's right. ...and perhaps if pigs had wings they'd be eagles.

Why aren't those despicable looters eating at their underwater homes? How dare they loot food and necessities.

They should have planned for the hurricane by building an ark. If they were too poor or disabled to build an ark, they should have left the city. They could have asked for rides from their good republican friends who would only have been too glad to help them since they are christians and had all planned so thoroughly before hand as god so willed.

Well, that's pot smoking, anarchist, terrorist coddling, democratic looters for you. They just won't listen, when god says to get building an ark.

There are one million vacant homes with no police protection. THAT is where the real looting is currently taking place.

I challenege you, without the aid of scuba equipment, to loot buildings under ten or more feet of water.
