I can understand why many are looting for FOOD/WATER. These people have not had any nourishment for days. The babies are without formula, diapers. Women are without sanitary items (it's raw, but it's REAL). This is a desperate time! I cannot understand why you are robbing Athlete's foot and it's flooding. What are you going to do with all of that? It's flooding, the water is in some areas chest deep and its toxic. I don't understand that aspect. The druggies are needing their fix, so they are trying to get into the hospitals/drug stores. Before they entered the dome, the national guard checked each person and his or her belongings. Guns, drugs, weapons were taken from them.
This has turned into the survival of the fittest. It's a mess and it's sad.
Where are they locking them up?
The local prisoners aren't even in the prisons, so where are the "arrested" looters?
SOME of the reports you all are seeing on some national news, especially CNN isn't all true. I prefer to watch Fox, it's more balanced. I'm getting most of my news from the local stations. The governor, her department heads, etc are the source of my information. Don't believe everything that is being covered. I hope Gov. Blanco comes on Larry King tonight to discuss this. She was very upset at how misinformation was spread to the nation.
I don't like the fact that the looting has taken over the news coverage. These rescuers need assistance. The elderly, medical fragile, and children/babies need help and they need help NOW! Focus on THAT! Focus on families being reunited with each other. Focus on how most individuals have lost their homes. Focus on how Texas is admitting our displaced students into their educational systems. Crime has always existed, even during a crisis.
