Like SURE, if a floods hitting and everyone's running to the mall for Prada bags I can get the media covering it and I get general indignation; I would be there with you.

But in the scheme of things the looters are like 1/1000th of the story. Its not as if ya corner boys continue to set up shop in the trap house, stat wise crime goes DOWN during these disasters because even in the general breakdown of law its hard to run up and pop shots at the dude who took ya girl when you're stranded on top of a roof.

Them trotting out the, 'Hey, look at these savages running out of Target with slacks!!!' is minor in the scheme of things, yet a popular thing for media to cover. It's fucked up biased reporting.
