As it turns out, I spent nearly six years in the southeast and am at least remotely familiar with the hurricane chaos, although I'd be lying, as would anyone at this point who isn't there to comment on the "enormity" of it.
If thinking it's sad to see people taking advantage of a horrible situation to crack open slot machines in casinos in Biloxi, pillage Office Depot's in New Orleans, and steal weapons from Wal-Marts to roam the streets in search of violence makes me an ignorant prick then so be it.
As I said, I'm sure there are some that acted out of necessity and I've said nothing to condemn those people. But no one looted the ATM machines, shotguns at Wal-Mart, or scanners at Office Depot to feed their families.
There are literally hundreds of thousands of displaced people across three states who didn't need to resort to looting jewelry stores and clothing shops on Bourbon Street to cope with the disaster.
