Halifax?

Eh?
I don't get it....
During Juan there was some looting, but nothing like we've seen in New Orleans:

Damage to our coastal regions, wharves and the selective deforestation of landmarks such as Point Pleasant Park and the Halifax Public Gardens are shocking reminders of the fierce weather brought upon the province by Hurricane Juan. Given the darkened state of the city, police have been busier than normal. HRM RCMP experienced double the regular number of calls in a 24-hour period and Halifax Regional Police have had three times their normal total, as they each dealt with reports of looting, vandalism and an occasional mischief call. The activity of the Halifax firefighters is almost 10 times its regular level, with most calls due to small fires and alarm malfunctions.

Before your time apparently . . . . . google Halifax Riot.
Where did these people come from? They were there all the time. Just like they exist in any community right now.
They're also here in Calgary right now. Take the police out and watch what happens.
One error the authorities made early was not shooting looters on sight . . . . that would have been a significant deterrent for the majority who seem perfectly capable of walking to Wal-Green to kick in the doors but can't seem to make it to emergency centers.
