Don't know if the "looting" was actually looting ... who knows? Like most things, people will believe what they want to believe.

Looked more like "self serve" then "being distributed" to me.

This was promotional merchandise. Let's worry about important things. Such as the victims.

Since a lot of them were white males, I bet you are wrong. Disgusting video, they should show that video all over America and show closeups of each person. That should shame them enough.

If that merchandise had been redistributed to all classes there would've been no need to loot it. Thanks Boehner

Looters?

I suspect Occupy Wall Street.

To me, this is old fashioned capitalism at work, which is exactly why the US needs to institute socialism. Such greed would largely be eliminated.

I guess I look at Japan and the little amount of looting they had and wish we were more like that in our society.

You honor the victims by processing crime scenes correctly. Yes, it's SEEMINGLY far less serious than 9/11 when the U.S. government completely corrupted the crime scene at Ground Zero by removing and destroying physical evidence...for kicks I guess. Corrupted crime scenes also impede the prosecution's case.
