Chaos
What the heck is going on in New Orleans? Slate offers a typical account of what the place must be like now, but what I'm really concerned about is all the looters.
These people are scum. One might say it's acceptable to take food or water, but then there are people who are filling garbage cans with jeans, TV's and jewelry and floating them down the street. In full view of police who have little recourse other than shooting them.
What I really hope is that after all this is sorted out, the police can go over the countless videotapes, and identify and arrest as many of these people as they can. But shooting a few of them would probably feel pretty nice right about now.
