Looting

Let's say you are stuck in a town which has just been hit by a hurricane and its all flooded all around you. Everything is messed up, your house is gone, your family is missing, and there are dead bodies floating around everywhere. You are cold, hungry, wet, tired and need medical attention. The authorities were slow to respond, so nobody's there to help. Then you see a Wal-Mart. The shelves are all messed up by the flood, and the store's probably gonna be torn down anyway. So you go in and help yourself to the half soaked food and get some clothing.

Should anyone really blame you for "looting"? Come on, the merchandise is not sellable anymore anyway, and you still need to survive! I'd be damned if you actually stood outside the Wal-Mart and die of starvation because of "upholding the law" or some bullshit.

Some people compare it to Sept 11 where there was general law and order in the aftermath. Well, a few pointers:
1. Sept 11 affected a small area of the city. Survivors could still walk to the unaffected parts to get some food, medicine and aid. If your entire city is destroyed and there is no place to go, that's a whole different story.
2. The authorities were fast to respond in Sept 11. Most people could get some form of help within a few days, if not hours, of the incident. If you ain't getting any help, you gotta help yourselves.
