As New Orleans and Gulfport try to pull themselves together, there are battles being waged against it by the absolute scum of the earth - those low-lifes who feel free to plunder businesses and homes which miraculously survived the hurricane and subsequent flooding.
What is the logic behind breaking into a store and stealing 9 pairs of sneakers? What is it that causes a presumably civilized man to turn into an animal in the face of disaster? What line of thinking leads one to believe that they are somehow entitled to things that don't belong to them, just because the city is in shambles??
Am I just naive by believing that after a crisis, people should be concerned about others sharing their space, rather than how much money or how many things they can steal? Isn't that like kicking a man when he's down?
And the price-gougers should be drawn and quartered!
It truly saddens me when I see what this world has become.
In any event, if you want to help the flood victims, here are a couple of links:
American Red Cross
The Salvation Army
They don't need clothes or shoes or food or water...they need MONEY. If you have it...give...and give some more.

Well said. I can't believe the way people will take advantage of those in need.
It is sad.
