Disclaimer: I am NOT making a comparison to what the sufferers of the hurricane are experiencing, and what happened in Cincinnati in 2001.

When the riots struck our city in 2001, with cries of 'civil unrest', racism, the man keeping them down, etc., looting was RAMPANT.

It was not a matter of survival for them. They looted because they could.


I agree with the others- food? Water? Sustenance? I look the other way. TVs, tennis shoes, outfits? Shoot first, take names later.


PJs Mom- you are to be commended. You did what you did in a very desperate time.

Those that didn't leave the city probably had NO alternative.
