Some people are just LOW_LIFES!!
Check this out:
ST. GEORGE'S, Grenada -
Hurricane Ivan took aim Thursday at Jamaica and possibly Florida after killing 23 people in five countries and devastating Grenada, where police fired tear gas to stop a looting frenzy and frightened students armed themselves with knives and sticks....
In St. George's, Grenada's capital, police fired tear gas to try to stop a looting frenzy. Hundreds of people, including entire families with children, smashed hurricane shutters and shop windows to take televisions and shopping carts of food. An Associated Press reporter watched people walk away with bed frames and mattresses on their heads.
Troops from other Caribbean nations arrived to help restore order.
...The British patrol boat HMS Richmond and a supply ship rushed to Grenada on Wednesday and provided communications for Prime Minister Keith Mitchell, whose home was damaged. Sailors said they had cleared the damaged and flooded airport runway for emergency flights.
Mitchell said the "spice isle's" agriculture, including its famous nutmeg crop, was devastated.
He also confirmed that the 17th century stone prison was "completely devastated," allowing convicts to escape, including politicians jailed for 20 years for killings in a 1983 left-wing palace coup that led the United States to invade. Nineteen Americans died in the fighting along with 45 Grenadians and 24 Cubans.
Let's face it: A LOW LIFE is a freaking LOW LIFE!! Talk about human vultures.

The same thing would happen here if it weren’t for curfews, repeated warnings on the news about prosecuting looting violators, and constant police patrolling before and after the storms. People in chaotic situations are animals...we are all capable of doing this at some stage. Look at the gas shortages and the fights that started at the pump. Look at how people are fighting at home depot over batteries and wood. It’s the natural animal instinct…nothing new. Grenada just lacks the societal fortitude we have, hence it’s WOT (Wide Open Throttle) down there right now…

But I thought humans were fundamentally good at heart?
Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so. -Douglas Adams

We are good. As humans, we just want to have fun. During a natural catastrophe,.. humans like to have fun by looting. It would be an adrenaline rush.

Yeah why stock up and be prepared for an emergency when you can just get a gun and go take what you want.

Be extremely subtle, even to the point of formlessness. Be extremely mysterious, even to the point of soundlessness. Thereby you can be the director of the opponent's fate.

Well, ok, thanks for the Psychobabble. I still say a low life is a freaking low life. So, let me ask you this then:
Miami gets nailed by another hurricane and your 'hood is in chaos. People are coming in from the city and looting your houses. Would you join your neighbors in fighting them off, or would you be looking for a new big screen tv?
