11 guests for the night Nguyen, the mother of two, was at the market to pick up some groceries. She ended up taking home the entire 11-member Tran family instead.

Nice to know that even tho many of these folks barely spoke English they had the good sense to leave the danger area.

Bless those who noticed the fallen and did something wonderful.

I know this will sound critical but people in the black community need to take notice of the generosity these people display in a crisis and stop looting the stores. When has there ever been a local disaster that there weren't mostly black people looting? I can't imagine being so brainwashed by dems that you think you're entitled to other people's property because you think you're getting back at the The Man. It's disgusting.

Most black people wouldn't steal. These are inner city poor; generations of welfare dependents.
