And an interesting MetaFilter thread: http://www.metafilter.com/mefi/44689
Thanks for the last link. It was enlightening. I too thought that both pics and captions had come from the same source, but now that I know different, I am not quite as angry. I will wait and see if AP shows pics of White folx "looting" groceries.

I also agree that I don't consider the taking of groceries, diapers, other basic need items (and yes even liquor) from these stores a bad thing. After all those products will not be sold anytime in the future, and folx need to survive. (And, the liquor is needed for self-medication after such a traumatic experience. But I hope someone doesn't die because they were drunk and thought they could walk on water.)

Now TVs, etc. What the heck. There is no electricity and the units will just get waterlogged anyway, and not work. And where are you going to put them if you have no home??? That to me is just stupid.
