Looting is never justified, EVER, BUT, in this situation, if these people are stealing food, water, clothes...it is different, because this situation is different. If we put ourselves in their shoes...if we had no food, no water...our children were dying before our eyes, of course we would take any food we could, because we'd have no other choice. I mean IF it was a choice between life and death. That being said, when they are stealing MATERIAL things that will NOT assist in their survival, in any way...........there's a huge problem. That is looting because they want to. I did watch a video on MSNBC though, where some citizens were crying and saying they were stealing food, not because they wanted to, but because their children were dying and they HAD to. I can understand it in that situation, and don't consider that looting, but looting and shooting as some people are doing? That is a SHAME. I can't understand how anyone could do things that could make the situation worse than it already is.
