Again, some of these people just lost EVERYTHING. They can't go to their friends or family for help, cuz those folks just lost everything too.

If my car, my house, and all my stuff were suddenly gone, and I was too poor to afford insurance, I'd give thought to going into that jewelry store and recouping some losses. If I didn't know where my next meal was coming from and I was hearing gunfire in the streets, I wouldn't have to think twice about swiping a shotgun and some shells from the Walmart.

Maybe you can't imagine being that desperate. I can certainly believe that - the fact that we're talking about this over computers tells me enough aobut our respective economic statuses. But if you found yourself in that desperate of a situation, I bet you'd be at least considering trying to salvage something from the wreckage of your city.
