I agree. This looting is out of control and needs to be severely dealt with.

However, how many people are actually looting? Ten or 25%?
Either way that still means that 75%+++ people are NOT looting, are trying to get help and need the prayers and support of the nation.

It is hard to get past the pictures of the looting taking place, but I am trying to remember that there are many more good people who just need some help. Children who need water and shade. Good people who have lost everything and don't know where to go.

How can we sit here and hear stories of people who can't find family members, homes are destroyed, city is in ruins and not feel sick for what they are going through. It makes the looting pale in comparison.

Prayers to your family and all the others affected by this disaster.

When you don't have principles, it is hard to maintain consistency in thought

Spot on, CSM, and exactly right. It's simply astonishing the amount of gibberish and logical fallacies the pro-looting brigades here on the forum are churning out right now. One expects it from such intellectual cesspools as DUmmyland, but not from posters at FR.

It is the natural result of basing the principles on emotions rather than reason. It becomes evident every time.

No, we had people make absolute statements. They drew the line. I'm just letting them know what they sound like.

A flooded store, that will not be dry out for months. Is is looting or salvage?

So far no one in this thread has argued on behalf of unlawful theft.

We do, however, have people who deny that they have any charitable impulses.

Did you see the fellows on the highway overpass changing into the red and orange jail outfits?

Didn't you wonder why people were willing to dress in prison clothes? They'd just lost EVERYTHING, including their trousers and shoes, trudging through debris and broken glass filled streets covered with water to get there.

Does 30 seconds of tape, rewound and replayed, tell the whole story?

It tells a compelling story, and it tells it to the whole world. It's unvarnished, unedited, and it's TRUTH.

You SAID in so many words YOU would MUG somebody - yes, steal it rite out of their literal HANDS even if it was just a little.

Don't try tying YOUR being the *criminal* MUGGER in w/the mugging *VICTIM* in the NT story.

Excuses,excuses,justification,reasons and etc.
It comes down to morals.
They are just looting for food, water and necessities. Looting is looting.

Liberals - especially white liberals are not just condescending, they're downright RACIST. They look at black people as animals giving to expressing primal instincts and they cheer them for it. Betcha dollars to donuts they would never tolerate it in white people. But that's what decades of value-free education have brought for minorities in this country. Namely, the first chance to stick it to Da Man you get. So we see all this looting. Why are liberals so surprised? When you treat people like they're not capable of self-restraint, expect the worst. And here we see liberalism for what it really is.
