Aww, c'mon, Ronn! "But Mr. CoastGuard Man, I just
bought this plasma TV before the storm - can't you
take it out on the helicopter?" <snort>
Although I must say that if bottled water etc. isn't
air-dropped to trapped folks, I couldn't blame them
for looting food and water.
I can't blame them for getting necessities the only way they can get them,
either. The guy who was seen on camera carrying three boxes of Nikes from
a store, or the people reported to be taking the wallets out of the pockets
of corpses in flooded homes are not in that category, however.
Looters Will Be Shot On Sight Maru
