It's not a race issue at all. It's an uneducated poor person issue. Educated rich people aren't going to be out looting.

Oh, I don't know about that. Florida has stand your ground laws and a lot of gun owners. Apparently they don't have a lot of flooding.

I don't understand. This doesn't happen in other developed countries such as Japan. Yet the USA has the most heavy-handed incarceration system in the developed world. What's wrong with this country?

Yes, I remember the calls to fumigate the WH after the Obamas left. Disgusting. Unfortunately the OP is not the only one on this board who feels that way.

Why aren't these people doing the right thing and helping others in the neighborhood instead of taking advantage of other people's misery?

How come you never see mobs of poor white people, poor Asians, poor Jews, poor American Indians looting?

Say what.... That its almost universally blacks that are looting?

In any case its more a cultural issue than a racial one. Their parents didn't raise them with good values, bottom line.

That's what I was wondering. Looting must be a racially influenced pass time since every picture of looting I've seen have been by Blacks. Maybe it's just a cultural thing? Is it all about getting free stuff when ever and where ever you can?
