I think we need to keep in mind that there were reports of rape, fights, theft and aggression at the Superdome and Convention and the same people have been moved to the Astrodome and other shelters. When you evacuate a city, you evacuate everybody, not just the model citizens. There are rapes, thefts, aggression and murders in our society. Why would the people who commit those crimes behave any differently when relocated? If 2% of the population of NO were criminals, then 2% of those evacuated are. We are only going to hear about the extreme situations.
Realize that extreme stress has extreme effects on people. Inevitably, some of the people who were evacuated are mentally ill with no access to their medications. People are pushed to their limits which can cause psychotic breaks in those prone to mental illness.
