You insensitive jerk. I’m from New Orleans and let me tell you something the crimes that did occur were a result of NO law & order and a complete beakdown of society. Those people who remained were left to die like animals for damn near a week. Everywhere has those who prey on innocent people. No protection was afforded to those left behind you know, the poor people. Even a"middleclass" person would begin to lose it after experiencing that. My Aunt went to the Superdome because she was told that help would be there. Help wasn’t there but you know that was? Dead bodies and feces and no it wasn’t all over the place cause these were poor people. Second thing, massive suffering . Suffering I doubt you could imgaine much less cope with. There was no water or food. Any suggestions on how they were supposed to survive? Oh, stealing is wrong let’s just wait for someone to help us! What would you have done when your baby is dying of thrist, literally? What state would you have been in if everything you ever knew in life was gone just like that? What state would you have been in if you witnesssed people needlessly dying in front of your face and remaining there dead as if there life had zero value. Oh I forgot to people like you their life held no value. Would your middleclass self been able to hold it together without freaking out or lashing out? Oh and by the way I can totally believe that the leevee was blown up. We have the most corrupt government in the country and poor poeple here are regarded as a nusince. There has always been contempt here for the lower class. More than the normal contempt we Americans usually display. I should know I’m a middleclass black who learned that "those people" were different from us and to stay away. We had seperate everything schools, neigborhoods... It’s really sad that I didn’t even realize it until after Katrina hit. Maybe that’s why God sent his wrath named Katrina to us in the first place. I will pray that disater never strikes you because God forbid I have to help a fellow American with my tax dollars.
