I think the one thing from the news that disgusts me is watching the disaster and seeing the human filth exploiting the disaster - ie. looters.

You'd think or hope that a disaster of this magnitude would bring people together, a community pulling together to help each other out in order to get through the disaster. But no, on the news I have seen numerous instances of looters brazenly taking from others, stealing what little some people have left.

I'm hoping that the National Guard and military get in there to not only rescue people, but to restore order...

>>> Anyone know what the US military's policy regarding looting in an Aid to Civil Authority deployment is? For example would the looters be given a warning shot after a verbal warning? Or do they have a no warning shot policy (well other than the shot that kills the first looter) when it comes to looting or mobs like the Canadian or the UK military?
