I almost went off an a reeeeaaallllyyyy good tangent but I am willing myself not to derail your thread.
I saw photos in a news article of citizens guarding local stores to deter looters. I thought that was pretty cool. There are certainly people in the community who know exactly what will not help and are doing their best to keep the peace (though it's a shame that they have to keep the rest of the community in check).
