Unfortunately these kinds of disasters bring out the best and the worst in people.
I was just watching a FOX News report on how a few NOLA police got into a shootout with some looters who hijacked a car. Once the looters ran away, the police actually took the car that the looters initially hijacked. Just the way it is right now. Almost all of the police cruisers were also destroyed by Katrina, and those that didn't flooded.
The question is, even if you see a looter and arrest him, what do you do with the person? There are no jails or prisons anymore, just destruction. There's still no excuse for what some of those people are doing down there. Stealing TV sets, guns, electronics? Totally despicable.
Truly a sad situation down there.
