I don't have problems with looting food from grocery stores

I mean give me a $#$## break. This is basic survival here. People do what they have to do to provide for their famalies.

You would do it too if you were desperate for food and couldn't provide for your family.

I normally DO NOT have sympathy for looters, but in htis case when survival depends on it and surrounded by cesspools of watery hell, Im inclined to let it lside.

I have sympathy for those and only those without the means to evacuate in the first place.

As for the others, first they don't heed the warnings to get out when they can, and now they take advantage of the misfortunes of others. That's doubly unacceptable.

Yeah I had to laugh...yes laugh at the two guys they arrested for looting yesterday. The video showed the carts and it was two carts full of diapers. Hey should have let them take them cuz they are all wet now. I just could picture their wives or girlfriends telling them to go out and find diapers and don't come back without them.

I don't know. I'm half inclined to think the food is better off in someones stomach than going rotten on an empty grocery store shelf.
