Why the difference? Did they both not take items that didn't belong to them? A large number of the people who are left in N.O. are Black/poor and have been protrayed like animals in my opinion. In desperate times who knows what you'd do to stay alive...
Well I think for the most part, people make a distinction between people breaking into a store for food and water and those going around trying to get televisions (do they even work with the water damage?). I think that was one of the problems the police have had to deal with.
