Reply #7: I consider taking care of necessities much different than looting. [View All]

To me, the word looting is loaded with images of breaking windows and stealing televisions. Going into flooded stores and salvaging what food, fresh water, medicines, bandages and baby necessities they have left for survival is far different.

Personally, when things got back to any sembelance of normal, I'd pay what I could to the store owners for the items I took. I like to believe there are many honest people who are planning on doing the same.

Poor does not equal criminal.
