Hopefully, everyone is aware of the terrible flooding that has destroyed parts of Louisiana. Strong forces of nature such as earthquakes, hurricanes, tornados, and tsnuamis come along every once and a while - and leave human suffering in their wake. Not to sound callous, but “it happens”.

Often when this happens, the people affected band together to help each other. Resuce operations are launched. Volunteers stream in from places far and wide. Donations are collected. The community comes together.

But sometimes, the opposite happens. What we're hearing about the flooding in the Southern U.S. is a prime example. For instance, today in New Orleans the following happened:

• three shootings
• looting
• a number of attempted carjackings

From CNN:

Hundreds of people were looting businesses downtown, throwing rocks through windows and hauling away goods from stores. Some looters were brazenly trying on clothes in the street. Police said the looting was happening citywide.

To which all I can say is: what the f$%* is wrong with people these days?
