Actually you are right and wrong. Unlike an earth quake that happens and then it's over with. There was bad weather for an entire day from Katrina, people were stuck in attics or roof tops till the weather cleared up and then most either went to higher ground like overpasses, interstates or places that did not flood like the convention center. Everything in their house was gone, they had no supplies and the places they went to had no supplies. So they went an entire 24 hours with nothing while they were stuck in the bad weather. As soon as the weather cleared up it was about 95-100 degree heat they were stuck in. You only need to go a couple days with no water and some people (especially the old, poor health, etc. can die). Once the weather cleared up the looting was in full force because people were suffering right away. They also had to get to it before it was gone. I don't blame them on bit.
It was only a select few that looted for shit like electronics but naturally that was on TV 24/7. People forget, they already had reporters down here before the hurricane, so after it passed they were the first ones out filming. None of you have a clue what happened in Japan the first 24 hours or even couple days. In some sections its probably so bad relief workers aren't even in there yet much less reporters. how do you know there isn't looting going on there. For this tragic event in Japan, rule of thumb, if the reporters made it in after the fact, I would hope the supply trucks did too. Of course no one takes that into consideration.

So yes, it IS red necks that put those signs up.. why didn't they bring the entire neighborhood together? Count supplies, make sure everyone had shelter that needed it.. ? oh and water which so many didn't have but so many others had....

did you think, possibly, for 1 minute that maybe that red neck only has enough supplies for his family to live off of for a couple days. You would expect someone to give away most of what they have so their supply would go down from a couple days to a couple hours??? fuck that. You obviously never been through a major natural disaster where you are on your own and what you have is all that you may have to live off of for days and even weeks. I am sure if you only had 4 gallons of water you would give away 3 to the community and leave one for you and your family to live on for who know how long.... sure you would.
You would be the first one to put a sign up.

First of all you people act like "looting" is bad. Yeah, the dumb idiots who take shit like flat screen tvs in the middle of a flood. Not only are those people few and far between, but don't they speak volumes about their own intelligence? Instead of going for the food and water they went for the TV??? Natural selection, thankfully those retarded people will likely die of starvation and dehydration.
Now the "looting" that 95% of the people do, which is for supplies you need to live on like food, water, clothing, matches, etc... What is wrong with taking something if you need it, when you are in dire straights and on your own? Is it better to have 100s of people die and a store stay full of supplies or have those 100 people live? Not to mention some of the food will go bad and spoil anyway if it is left there.
