I don't understand how no electricity, a/c or water leads people to stealing TV's, raping, looting homes, murder, shooting at helicopters evacuating the sick, sinking rescue boats, etc. I could understand fighting or killing for food & water to survive, BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE! I just don't get it. It's been eating at me all day.

Those are not the people in the Superdome. Those are the looters on the streets. Since they have gone unchecked they are getting bolder and it seems micht have the upper hand on the local police. I saw on the news the police have retreated back to their stations and have sharp shooters on the roofs waiting for the next attack.
A City under control? Where is the National Guard and why were they not there the minute the storm pulled away? They were guarding retirement communities here in Florida after the storms pulled away.
